I know, I know… I have been completely MIA in the blogging
world lately. As you know, the beginning of the year is CRAZY--especially in
Kindergarten. BUT I will try to do better and I have some freebies for you to
make up for it. =)
Today I am linking up with Doodlebugs for Five for Friday (on Saturday...oops. I'm such a slacker lately!).
1.
This week we read “If You Give a Moose a
Muffin”. Who doesn’t love the “If you give a…” books? Then, we practiced
counting with a muffin freebie from Greg at Smedley’s Smorgasboard. I plan on also using these muffins to practice
patterns and ordinal numbers.
2. We have been using
these Alphabet Practice Pages for morning work. I love them because they are
all set up the same way and after completing a couple, they are really easy for
my kiddos to complete independently.
3. I use a modified
version of The Daily 5 in my classroom. All of my students “read to self” and
“work on writing” at the same time. To add to “read to self” my students
started to a letter hunt. This week we “hunted” for the letter S in our books.
We also hunt for sight words sometimes. This is an example of the pages I have
been making to use for our letter hunts.
4. We started math centers this week. I found some fabulous
free centers on TpT and I also made one for you!
Here the students
pick a card then make the pattern with pattern blocks. You can grab these free
pattern block cards here.
Here the students
pick a card and then make the pattern with cubes. I found these pattern cards
here.
I made these apple
matching cards. The student count the number of apples and match them to the
correct number. Grab it for free here.
5. This year, we say a class promise at the beginning of
each day. At the beginning of the year, we talked about what each of the parts
mean and we use it as a reminder to have good behavior throughout the day. I am
not sure where this originally came from, but you can grab a copy I made here.
