Sight Word Find

This posting is going to be an experiment.  I need you all to let me know if you think this is something your kids will like and if so, I'm prepared to make more of these.  I made the picture from d.j.inkers clip art and for the first one I decided to use the black and white option.  I showed it to my kids today and told them it could be one of their word work or work on writing choices during Daily 5.  Unfortunately, we never got to it today, so I don't know how long it would take but they seemed excited about it.  What I did was make a picture and then I hid sight words in it. I copied this idea from a wonderful blog Kdoublestuffed(we work in the same building, so I got her permission to steal her idea!).  Check out her blog, it is amazing and she posts way more often than I do.  Anyway, if you have little magnifying glasses, the kids can use them to "find" the words.  I was told that Target dollar spot had cute ones on sale this week.  I need to go and check it out myself.  Let me know if you like these and I will gladly make more.

    Would it be okay to request you consider making one with a space theme since that is the theme we are learning about the next few weeks?
    Thank you so much for sharing this Under Sea Word Find. LOVE it!!!! Please make many more!

    Love it! My students enjoyed using a magnifying glass for Deanna Jump's Popcorn Words units. This will be just as thrilling. Thanks!

    Great! Will you make one with insects? We are studying them now. That would be great. Oh yeah, how about the zoo too! You could go crazy with this.

    I did this with my class on Friday. They loved it! The problem was that not one person could find 25 words,we all found 24! The recording sheet has 24 spaces. Could there be a mix-up somewhere? Other than that...we LOVED it!

    We absolutely L.O.V.E. these!!! I had bought the cutest magnifying glasses at Target in the dollar section last week having no idea what we'd use them for. Then, I found your fabulous blog with THE PERFECT idea! My firsties actually cheered today when I showed them. PLEASE make more, more, more! We'd love one on Spring, Easter, Earth Day, Flowers, Summer, etc. You are fabulous!

    I can't figure out how to change the text. I was unable to do so in jpg format or pdf. Any advice?
