Hello Monday. I defeated you once again! BAHAHAHAHAHA!
Today I want to share you with you my latest word work jar. These are very popular in our classroom. We love to shake them and write the words! I love them because they’re easily changed, they’re engaging and they’re fun! Hello, fun!!!
All you need for this jar is a jar, cotton balls, glitter and card stock for the words!
I got my jars from Wal-Mart for about $2.
The glitter just makes it sparkly….um, we all know I love sparkly!
I used blue card stock for our 10 winter/snow words. Tip: give the cards a bit of a fold/bend to keep them from sticking together!
Load the cotton (snow!), words and then sprinkle with a healthy amount of glitter! Glitter=sparkle. Sparkle=Mr. Greg is happy!

Someone asked me what I was doing for my Valentine’s Day word jars….hmmmm…ideas??? Thoughts??? I thought about pink/red rice…but I’m open for suggestions?!
Speaking of sparkle, my friend Robin visited today from California! We actually met through this blog! I am so lucky to have such amazing friends!!! She brought me this amazing gift!
Just SPARKLE people, just SPARKLE!!!!

Did you know Shirley Temple's mom always told her, “Sparkle, Shirley, sparkle!” before she performed? 😉
Hi! I found some super cute red and pink plastic hearts at Dollar Tree…they might work in the word jars…and guess how much they were? LOL yep, a dollar! 🙂
Super fun!! For V-day I say throw in some of the larger shiny sequence with cute little red, pink, purple hearts for the words……
Thanks for sharing!!

You could also use the fake rose petals or Valentine' foam shapes sold at the dollar store. I used these materials in my sensory table and hid HFW in the plastic hearts mentioned in an earlier comment.
