I'm not posting any printables with this post right now but if you want ANYTHING, leave a comment w/ your email address and I'll be happy to email you anything you want...

Night Animal Addition

Matching numbers with number words. This was a little harder because I didn't have the colors match, the kids had to actually search for the night animal and make a match that way.

Possum Pouch activity. Turned out cute!

Spider graphic organizer for journaling.

Kids matched the words written on the spider and the web then wrote the word twice.

Quick center where the kids used a number 8 ellison cutout (2 body parts), used reinforcements for eyes, had to draw  8 legs and glue sentences.

 I love all of these Smithsonian Backyard Series books.

Pretty easy, I used clip art from Mailboxmagazine.com and the spider clip art is DJ inkers.

My kids love anything that involves using Bingo markers. I put ghosts in the 'straw' and they had to  pull a ghost from the straw, find the letter then dab it. Some of the ghosts had the word BOO on them.

Part of my hibernation mini unit.

Counting Baby Bear's paw prints then writing the number.

Simple roll and write game.

Our popcorn word this week was HAVE so I picked hibernating animals and  made simple sentences where the kids would have to write the word HAVE and the name of the hibernating animal.

As a class (the day before) we came up with 10 important facts about OWLS then I made a simple "All About Owls" booklet.

Owl color word practice.

This is a center I did together with my small groups. It was a bit challenging for some but by the end the kids really got the cvc concept.

Kids had to match the word in the nest with the picture on the owl.

Owl Booklet

Page in owl booklet.

I love all things Gail Gibbons!

Owl/Bat comparison chart. I typed up the sentences from our owl and bat discussions from this week then as a whole group we placed the sentences where they belonged. 

Simple bat facts we came up with and I typed out.

The bat shape is a printable from www.makinglearningfun.com and the bat facts are from above, cut and stapled on  to the bat.

CVC bat spelling, see pics below. I gave the kids the ending 2 letters and they had to come up with the beginning letter then write the whole word.

-at rhyming words. Humpty is fat...I used mat, sat, cat, rat, hat, fat

The kids did excellent with this!!

Missing number fill in. I provided some numbers in each row, the kids had to fill in the rest.

Number and number word writing.
