New Year Freebie! :)

Happy New Year!  I hope you all have a safe and happy new year!  2013 is already shaping up to be a great year for me!  I'll be presenting at the NSTA (National Science Teachers' Association) conference in San Antonio this April and am anxiously awaiting news about my PAEMST award--to D.C or not to D.C! :)  I have to wait until May/June to find out, so cross your fingers. :)

I have a freebie for you! I was trying to come up with a simple Literacy Work Station that my kids could do that would tie into our community helper theme.  This is a dice roll game, intended for use with the 4 1/2 inch clear pocket dice that you can use and change out the pictures.  I've also included two recording sheets, one is great for readers or emergent readers and the other has the words and pictures on it for pre-readers.

Just click the picture below to go to my TPT store to download it...while you're there, check out my sale! My whole store is %15 off until the 4th. :)

Character Ed, Ella the Elegant Elephant

I think it is very important to talk about our differences and that we were not all created the same.  We were all given different looks, different talents, and different feelings.  One of the stories I like to use in my classroom for character ed is Ella the Elegant Elephant.

On her first day, at her new school, Ella wears a hat her grandmother gave her.   Although she believes her hat is very special, her hat is "different" than all the other hats worn by the other elephants.  Ella loves her hat, but the other elephants make fun of her and call her names.  Don't be sad though.....there is a very happy ending to the story.  :0)   I created this cute little freebie craft to reinforce that it is okay to be different and different can be really cool!  My students get to create their very own unique hat for their elephant.  Visit my blog, Kindergarten Faith, to download this cute Freebie and to find for more information about the story.  You will also get to see the pictures of our wonderful, unique hats!

Sequencing Numbers

It is that time of year when I have a ton of assessments I need to finish and of course being that these are kindergartners, all of the assessments are one-on-one.  I can't just show movies all day or give them free choice.  So, whatever I give my little ones needs to be something that they can do independently. I also need for it to take a little while to complete and it needs to have some educational value behind it.  Being that we are working on number sequence, I thought this would be there perfect activity.  You can get your cornucopia sequencing activity here.

Big Book Work Station

I'm a big fan of using Literacy Work Stations in my classroom.  I like how I can differentiate the tasks to meet the needs of all of my students!  My kids were getting tired of looking at the same big books over and over again, but they are doing a super job at finding the sight words we have learned so far in them (they LOVE to highlight words with highlighter tape!!).  I decided to capitalize on that enthusiasm and created a sheet for them to complete (they are also so excited to count everything in tally marks!!) while they are at our big book work station.

They will look for these words (mostly the Dolch K list, but we've taken some liberties with the order we are teaching the words) as they read and then make a tally mark next to each word as they find it.  My lower kiddos will be writing the words when they see them and my higher kiddos will be writing the sentence they find the word in (using spaces, capital/lowercase letters and punctuation). 

You can get yours here!

I hope you enjoy it and can use it! :)

Gobble, Gobble!!

Hey guys!! It's Vickie from Mrs. Plant's Press. I am getting ready to be out on maternity leave, so I am trying to get lots made and ready for my kiddos to have when I'm gone. We are knee deep in reading and writing CVC words, so I made this little game for my kids to practice reading words during the Thanksgiving season. Click on the picture to get yours for free! :)
