Kindergarten and First Grade Easter Centers

4.17.2019
Every Spring our school focuses on Lent and Easter, so over the years I've created and modified numerous resources for the season. I'm going to briefly cover a couple of them here so you can see how they might enhance your literacy center. :) 


First off is my Kindergarten Read it, Write it & Wipe it Literacy Center! I designed this center with 3 parts:
  • Solid words for reading, referencing, pocket charts and salt trays
  • Traceable word cards for practice printing
  • Letter boxes to help with appropriate letter formation and spacing


This particular literacy center is very diverse and can be utilized in many ways. No matter how I use it, I always laminate the cards so they are durable....because, you know - #kindergarten. ;)

Next up is my First Grade Easter Math and Literacy Pack! It covers first (and second) grade common-core standards:

  • filling in the missing lowercase and uppercase letters
  • Skip counting by 5's and 10's
  • Adding and subtracting single digits (up to 20)
  • Answering writing prompts to demonstrate knowledge
  • Coloring by sight word and numbers
  • Patterning (both completing and creating)
  • Using nonstandard measurements
  • Coloring


The best thing about this pack (in my opinion) is that it is covers some actual religious material. I know that may sound obvious, but I've found that it's not as common as you'd think! So there are writing prompts about Jesus and Church along with standard Easter themed math and language worksheets :) 


If you have any of these sets (or wish to get them) please let me know what grade you teach and which one you'd enjoy most! :)

Happy Easter! 🐰🐣

The easiest Easter Literacy Center for Kindergarten

News flash - not all kindergarten literacy centers need to be flashy and colorful to be effective and engaging! 

The easiest Easter literacy center for Kindergarten

This Easter themed center happens to be one of my favorite word working stations, ever. Bonus is that it cost me less than 3 dollars and no more than 10 minutes of my time to set up! All I needed were these three simple things: 

  • Large Popsicle sticks (they look like tongue depressors) 
  • Wooden clothes pins 
  • Gel pens 

I purchased the sticks and clothes pins from the dollar store. I already had the gel pens ;) This center is seriously easy-peasy, lemon squeezy! 

Happy Easter! 🐣 ✝️

Summer Emergent Reader #Printable #Homeschool

7.18.2016
Okay, I am a self-professed obsessed Emergent Reader teacher. It's no secret - but really, why wouldn't I be?  Anyone working with pre-readers will surely agree with me - emergent readers are one of the best tools to get children familiar with print (letters and words) and their associated pictures! 

I've recently created a brand new Summer Emergent Reader entitled "Yellow Sun, Yellow Sun, What Do You See?". I'd love to give you a quick snapshot of it because it can be downloaded and printed in just a few seconds! Here's my product cover page in case you are looking for it in my Teachers Pay Teachers Store:


Source
The format as you may have guessed follows the flow of "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" and comes across as very familiar to children. This reader has 12 half-pages and children are invited to color the pages and if developmentally appropriate, order and bind their own pages (they are numbered for easy assembly).
Source
In addition to the interactive aspect of this Summer Emergent Reader, I have also included a set of matching pocket chart cards! Of course these can be used in a multitude of ways, such as at your word wall or print them off twice for a fun game of Memory!

Pretty fun, right?! 


Product Details:

► Three book versions to choose from 


► Version 1 is 12 (half) pages once assembled

► Version 2 is 12 (half) pages once assembled

► Version 3 is 7 (half) pages once assembled

► Each page is conveniently numbered for easy assembly 

► Pocket Chart Cards ‣ 1 title card and 6 story element cards

"Write It and Wipe It!" Literacy Centers - Printables

3.03.2016
My kiddos just LOVE learning sight words/theme words with my "Write it and Wipe it" literacy centers and so I've been busy printing, cutting and laminating these reusable cards. I can honestly say that this sitting on my bedroom floor prepping my resources is seriously one of my favourite things to do. Seriously. I know some teachers can't stand this kind of thing, but I LOVE crafting and this is to is no different :) 

Laminating my Pre-K and KG literacy centre 
Write It and Wipe It! Pre-K & Kindergarten Literacy Center - Dolch Words
Write It and Wipe It! Kindergarten Literacy Center - Dolch Words 
Write It and Wipe It! French Colours Literacy Center
Write It and Wipe It! EASTER Literacy Center

Each card has a Dolch high-frequency sight words (ie. Kindergarten Dolch Words and Pre-K Dolch Words) or vocabulary words (ie. Easter and french colours) and space to print the letters above. You will notice the letter boxes help your little ones with letter formation and assist in completing their independent work. :)  

Product Details:

► These hands-on learning cards are the perfect tool to support your students' reading and spelling progress

► Consists of Dolch Sight Words or themed vocabulary words 

► Print, cut apart (optional) and laminate (or use page protectors) 

► Children print the letters inside each letter box using dry erase markers or dry erase crayons. When finished, the letters can easily be wiped off and then reused! 

► Children can use the cards to build sentences (longer sentences can be constructed on long tables or the floor) 

► Cards may be used with pocket charts for further investigation as a class or independently (I use small tabletop pocket charts at my centre and children take turns building sentences with them after they print the letters on each card they use.) 

► Promotes Independence, reading, printing, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, creative process, etc.
