Anyone who teaches first grade knows that spacing can be a problem when they are writing. Of course, I advise students to use a finger space between their words, but this is tricky for some writers, especially left handed writers. That's when I came up with an idea...Spacemen!
We used popsicle sticks and painted them green. Then we used our glue sticks and coated the green sticks with green glitter. Last, we glued one google eye on our sticks. They looked like this when we were finished.
We had a lot of fun making these cute little guys. Here is a quick shot of one Spaceman in use.
Whenever we are working on our writing projects, my students take out their Writer's Checklist and their Spaceman. You know how those little ones love their tools!
I'm enjoying this lovely week off and hope all of you are, too!
