Beginning of the Year

Hey all! See below for two emergent reader printables..."School Tools" and "Silly Shapes". I. am. so. tired! You forget how much training Kindys need!! The bathroom, lunch, bus dismissal, recess line ups. We are 3 days in and doing ok. I've already started getting the kids used to rotations for literacy time. We made this cute Clifford and that's about it. Add to it I'm moving into my new house in about a month. We are planning on camping this weekend but the hurricane may drown us out. Our school is doing a Daily Five book study this year and many of our teachers are doing it in their classrooms this year. I'm on the fence. I've decided to do the book study and observe a couple of my Kinder and First Grade colleagues to see the Daily Five in action but right now I like what I do!!! Anyone else feel this way or is struggling with this? Do you do the Daily Five? If not, why not? My neighbor teacher started it and she already loves loves loves it.

Marshmallow Math

Scarecrows, Nuts, Leaves and Math!

I got these Halloween Cards at Oriental Trading. My kids love these!! Good for a center or a quick "I'm Done!" assignment.

Pick a domino, count the dots, find the number on the Dazzling Dominoes sheet and draw the domino.

Going Nuts game. Pick an acorn from the pot, write the letter on the sheet.  The kids insisted my squirrel puppet be in the pot with the acorns.

Counting leaves, writing numbers on the line.

Stamping beginning sounds and coloring the picture. The kids did GREAT with this.

Foam Leaf sorting.

This is from www.makinglearningfun.com  which goes with "The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't  Afraid of Anything". We spent a lot of time this week on scarecrows.

Labeling lesson. 

I got this from my October/November Mailbox Magazine issue.

I got these little felt bags at Target dollar spot. I put various card games in them. I call them "floor games". Clean up and organization is so much easier w/ these bags! I have some for Christmas as well.
