Computer Games

We recently were able to add a 2nd trip to the computer lab every week. We are super excited because now we can teach literacy one time and math the other. Now, we need ideas of websites the students can access during these times. Here are the ones we already use:
PBSKids
ABCYA
Starfall

What are some of your favorites that are also easy for the students to navigate?

Educents Bundle

I had the pleasure of previewing a portion of a new bundle on Educents. When I saw that it was a "Preschool Bundle", I wondered if there was anything my Kinders would be able to do without being bored this time of the year. There was! This is really a great looking bundle.

The Mega Sorting Bundle is what I had the privilege to review. It includes pictures sorts for alphabet and numbers 1-20. I love that it has the printables for the students to work individually along with larger pictures so the sorts can be completed whole group or as center work. This makes it so easy to put into centers because they already know what to do. Below are samples of the student pages. I have already printed the 11-20 pages for my teen number review lessons this week! I know my kids will love them!

This is just one of 19 great looking instant downloads you review with this purchase for only $29.99. Many items in this packet have been on my wish list. I hope you love it as much as I did!

Cyber Monday & Tuesday Sale

It is time for another CrAzY awesome TpT sale. You can get 28% off everything in our store on Monday & Tuesday! Below are some of the items we will be using in these last 3 (yes we said 3) weeks before Winter Break.

 We wrote to Santa last week asking for our own Scout Elf. We sure hope he sends us one this week! If so, we will be ready with some great literacy and math activities!

 Who doesn't love Gingerbread?!? Even though we are ready for Winter Break, we sure do wish there was more time to study all our Gingerbread!

These Literacy and Calendar Journals are in our top 2 things we have ever created. We always struggled with the beginning of the day. Different meaningful activities means lots of explanations every morning. Coloring sheets means no value! We created the Calendar Journals WAYYY before Literacy Journals. The Literacy Journals solved our meaningful morning activities problem. If you love these, make sure to look for the Bundles. It will save you even more money!

 Gingerbread or Polar Express? Hard to decide which we like better! Gingerbread are so much fun, but we love the sweet story of Polar Express.

 Winter study starts just barely before Winter Break. Our winter unit truly starts after the holidays in January.

This is our #1 selling item and our #1 item we have ever created. This has 5 activities (1 for each day of the week) for 18 different word families. We did these same activities before, but now the activities are kept to one 1/2 page book which saves on paper! We love saving paper!

We hope you will consider shopping with us during this wonderful sale. Now is time for us to weed through our wish list and decide what we will be buying! Happy Shopping!!

Tricky Teens

 

We did it!! We barley survived the 1st six weeks of Kindergarten!  How are you guys holding up?!  We are getting our activities for our classroom crated.... S...l..o...w...l....y...... lets face it- we have been exhausted!  But the kids are settling in nicely and things are falling right into place.  I have taken everything I have learned about how kids learn teen numbers and put it all into our "Tricky Teens" packet because teen numbers are TRICKY.  These activities really break the numbers down for them to grasp the number sense.  51 pages of SUPER FUN table activities for the kids to rotate through.  Like always- the first 24 hours it's 1/2 off.  If you have used our Fine Motor activities, these activities work in that same rotation way.

Super Secret Words Freebie

My kids love this center! They ohhhh and ahhhh when I introduce this! Gotta love the excitement of 5 year olds!

It is super easy to set up. Copy this page:

Write your sight words (or anything, really) with a white crayon. Students will color boxes with markers to reveal "Super Secret Words". They will then write revealed word on the recording sheet below. The End! Done! Easy enough??

Enjoy this freebie! Click on screenshots above for download.
