Winter Fun

Quick art/writing activity with "The Snowy Day"

Center Work. Kids roll a number die, draw the correct number of stripes.

Same with "Snowballs and Sleds"

I made letter dice, had the kids roll the dice and write the letter in the ice blocks.

Kids roll a dot dice, search for the number and cross off.

Cute sentence ordering activity that goes with the story "Seasons of  a Red Fox"

Day 100 headbands!

The kids LOVED this. I read the story "The Wolf's Chicken Stew" and planned some "chicky" activities. They had to write popcorn words to fill up the boxes.

Chicky Color word work

Finishing up Polar and Groundhogs!

Polar bear font sort

Beginning blends. My student teacher facilitated this center , this was kind of our first introduction to blends.

See below, the pictures are out of order. The mother polar bear with the baby behind her are the cards I used for this center.

I think I got this from "What the Teacher Wants" website. I did not make this.

Kids figured out the beginning sound then wrote the whole word.

Matching polar animals with the  colored igloo, write the color word next to the igloo and color it.

Dice roll and write (groundhog)

Goes with the above "I Want to go Home".

Groundhog font sort.

Idea from Mailbox Magazine. We do it every year.

Seasonal art goes with "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble".

Colored grounhogs center.

What's missing . Supply the missing number then write the numbers.

Ending sound work!

Polar Cuties

I got this inspiration from www.makinglearningfun.com on her website, she has this printable and the kids can make their own person but I used the kids school pictures for their faces. Turned out cute.

snowflake syllables.

I was AH MAZED at how well the kids did with this. With minimal help. I will for sure do this with other units. They could look at the scrambled word and almost immediately figure out which popcorn word it was.

Little cloze work. I didn't remember to take a picture of the kids before I sent it home so this is mine!

Playdoh symmetry.

Using DJinkers clip art and pulling inspiration from Jan Brett's "The Hat",  I made a counting by 5's to 100 number scramble sheet. The kids had to cut/glue in the correct order. 

Match uppercase polar bear with lowercase polar bear and write both letters.

This was another scrambling activity. Match the scrambled polar bear with the correct word on the fish . The kids got a kick out of 'feeding' the polar bear fish. I put this in a game center a few days later after we did this in small group time and they did great.

Ending sounds.

Penguin/snowflake patterning work. This was picture...Tacky and his companions was completed by one of my sweeties.

Numeral and word match

I found this book buried in one of my filing cabinets. I bought this when my daughter (11) was 2 and i was probably pregnant with my son. There are some cute activities in here for the classroom. I just wanted to share.
