I use this activity as independent work while I do weekly assessments with my first graders. I did it for the first time last week, and my kids were engaged and worked quietly the whole time!
I put our sight words and other words that we had been working on for the week at the bottom of the graph. I created some "popcorn" by writing words on yellow and orange pieces of paper.
The fun popcorn buckets can be found at the dollar store. I put extra words in the "popcorn" so students pick one word, they read it and if it matches a word on their graph then they can color in a square above that word. I plan on changing the words each week.
Hope you enjoyed this! Happy teaching!
