Summer Bucket List: Sight Word Chants

Moving right along with my summer bucket list. This week I tackled my sight word chants. I made these sticks last year. I got the idea from Kathleen at Growing Kinders. However, I made the mistake of modge podging over them and they all stuck together:( 

Then I saw Katie’s post at Little Warriors about how she made the same mistake! It made me feel a little better. :) I decided to follow her steps to re-do my sticks. First I picked up a straw dispenser at Michaels (though I recently saw them on clearance at Target!!) because she had the amazing idea of storing them in there. I made sure to grab a blue one to match my room!

Then I picked up some colored craft sticks since I wasn’t up for painting mine. (I’ve done a lot of painting on other projects which I will hopefully be sharing with you soon!) 

I bet you can guess which color I didn't use...

I printed Katie’s picture labels out and put them on the front of the sticks, 

then printed Kathleen’s descriptions and affixed them to the back.

I did not cover them with any kind of finish. For now it seems as though the stickiness on the back of the labels is enough, but if they start to wear and tear throughout the year I will reassess the situation.

Then it was time to cutesy up my straw holder. I picked up some dog stickers (to match my theme!) at Michaels and randomly added them all over. 

I love the final product!

I also finished my Thanksgiving packet this week so I’m moving right along crossing things off that to-do list! 

I also made my self a set of green and blue alphabet posters to match my room and while I was at it, I made a grey and yellow set along with a bright set!

 

Anyone else get crazy satisfaction out of crossing things off a list??
