Long i fries!

{"I'm lovin' it...} Here is a fun little word sorting activity using letter combinations that make the long vowel i sound!  The kids will read the words on each "fry" and then decide in which box to put the fry. 

A pile of  long i fries.  {Just use fun scrapbook paper!}

And...sort.

  2. I love this activity too! McD's has donated the fry containers and drink cups for "combos" in math. I will have to try this next year when the rule comes around. Thank you!

  27. Hi, Sarah

    I'm an EFL teacher in Taiwan. I just saw your post and really love this great idea!! Actually, me and my friends really enjoy reading your blog and appreciating your creative teaching ideas. I am wondering if it is welcome that I share this idea on my facebook page with a photo and a direct link to your blog with other EFL teachers?? It will certainly inspire most of them!

    best,
    Kate
