Excited for Kindergarten!

I'm so excited to teach Kindergarten next year.  My mind has been racing since I was told I get too!  It was so fun helping last week with Kinder Screening and seeing the new little ones so eager to be here!  BIG change from 5th grade.

Most of the Kinders I screens recognized their alphabet but as with every class you find those that need more practice.  Last night I was looking in Really Good Stuff and saw Letter cards for Concentration...I didn't like the ones they had so I decided to make my own!

 

I love the Monster Graphics from TpT!  I am printing out today and laminating so I can start preparing for the upcoming school year in August.  My mind is flooded with ideas and want to do so much.  My husband reminded me of the story of the "Tortoise and the Hare" and that you don't always have to finish fast, it's the consistency that will have you finish well!  He is so smart!

I'd love to hear your ideas on how you could and can use alphabet cards in the classroom.

Show NOT Tell!!!

What a great idea to incorporate ELA standards into your Show and Tell time!  Instead of students telling about their item have them create questions and present in front of the class!!  I have created a simple packet to help you easily incorporate this into your classroom!  Visit my teacher stores to purchase for only $1.00!

Just finished a fun number recognition packet for the numbers of 0-5.  I will be working on the second half of the number but would love some feedback on this product!

This product can be used with Bingo Markers/Colored Labels or crayons!


My First Kindergarten Center!

I got the great news that I get to finally teach KINDERGARTEN!!  In my excitement I have started thinking about centers I can have for my students!  I want to read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom at the beginning of the year to review letters:)  I had found a letter match idea online and decided to create my own.  You can grab it over at:

I can't wait to get started on more!!!
