Heart Boxes and I Love Learning Freebie!

We were inspired by sweet Cara over at The First Grade Parade 

last year and did a great word scramble activity.

 We grabbed these at the Dollar Tree ...

 We numbered each of the boxes with a permanent marker. 

These are just a few. 

We know they are not in order. We can count. Sometimes...

 We made 100 of these sweet things.

We told you...

We love February!

 We realized we had a TON of plastic letters from years ago. We have to admit, they were collecting dust...Only because they don't have magnets. Apparently, we have a magnet fetish we were unaware of...

These teeny tiny letters fit perfectly into our boxes, so we put the letters from words off our 100 High Frequency word list into each of the boxes.

 The kids choose a box...There are 100, but you know someone will claim they cannot find one.  

Or, "I want #3!" "Where is #8?" "I can't find #5!" We love that! 

They write the number of the box on their recording sheet 

(that way it doesn't matter which box they have), then write the answer inside the heart.

Watching this activity and seeing how much our kiddos LOVED it, gave us a ton of other ideas on what we wanted to fill these puppies with this year...

 You could do spelling words, vocabulary words, number counting, coin counting, number equations, etc. Anything that you can stuff into that little heart box will basically work.
