The Dollar Tree really is the best place to find inexpensive teaching resources. The pack of magnetic words below cost me (duh) a dollar, and so did the cookie sheet underneath it. My white boards are magnetic, but I love using the cookie sheets so the little monsters lovely children don't scatter the tiny pieces all over the floor. (And in my classroom, the floor is like a black hole. Once something leaves the desk, it disappears like a sock in the dryer.)
Each part of speech is color-coded as well, however I haven't taught them this yet. Once we've reviewed the parts of speech more, I can start talking about how all sentences need a blue noun, a red verb, and even better sentences have green adjectives, etc. Until then, students just had fun reading the sight words and helping each other sound out the other words they didn't know.
Some of the sentences they created were pretty funny . . . My favorite may have been, "She is old." The little one who wrote this called me over to show me, and I strongly suspect he was talking about me! (Oh, God, thirty-three isn't old yet, is it??)
