Tic-Tac-Toe

Here's an activity I've been doing with my kids to practice our five weekly Word Wall words.  I display the Tic-Tac-Toe board on my Promethean Board and the kids do their work on the recording sheet.  They enjoy the independence of choosing the activities they want... and they think it's the coolest think ever to make silly letters or letters with dots!  This could also be used as a Literacy Station.

Alien Math-- addition & subtraction

I've been seeing a ton of cute alien things on the blogs lately.  Although I don't specifically teach aliens/space, it's a fun theme for the kids to practice with during stations so I got the clip art from Scrappin Doodles.  Here's a simple math station... my kiddos can ALWAYS use extra addition and subtraction practice.

Fly Swat Y Sort

First, I must say... it's finally Spring Break!  Phew!

When we return from break, we'll be doing a two week study of insects so I'm working on making stations to use.  This is a word sort focusing on the ending y sound.

Comparing & Contrasting Insects

I made this to accompany Mrs. Jump's Insect Unit from TPT.  In math we'll follow the glyph directions to make our insects and the next day we'll pair up to compare and constrast them during writing using a Double Bubble Map.

Button Lamp

A kindergarten teacher that I work with is a polka dot addict!  She had a lamp with buttons on it in her room and I just had to have one of my own.

The lamp is from Target and the buttons are from Walmart.... then just a little hot glue and you're good to go!

Batter's Up!

Last weekend I posted about baseball eggs and a bucket that I picked up at the store.  Here's the game I made to go with them.

This is the bucket and eggs.  I'll put the words on the bats inside the balls.

Today my kids made the discovery that I can actually make these stations they are using so they began putting in requests for specific themes-- race cars and princesses were on the top of their list!  (I don't know where they think all of this stuff has been coming from all along... maybe a station fairy!)
