I hope everyone is having a great summer! I know by now most of us teachers are on summer break. My school has been out for a couple of weeks now, and I have been visiting my parents in North Carolina. We head back home to Savannah, Georgia on Saturday.
A monster file folder game! I plan on getting it laminated and bringing it out around Halloween time. It is a matching game. For your higher level learners you could differentiate it by writing numbers or dots on each creature on the mat as well as each creature on the tiles. When students find the match they add the numbers or dots.
While in line to check out I noticed this pen. I plan on sticking it on the cubbies by my door that way there is a pen available to any visitors who come in my door. Since I teach PreK a lot of the parents
escort their child to class. I am always getting them to sign papers or write absent notes they forgot to
turn in. I hope the pen works! Sometimes you get what you pay for.
Next I found these adorable pet cut outs. I bought 2 packs giving me a total of 48 pieces. I plan on writing uppercase letters on the cats and lowercase letters on the dogs. The students will then match them up. You could even give the students an alphabet recording sheet so they can mark off every letter pair match they make. Since I do my pet unit in February, I think I will put rhyming pictures on the remaining pieces and have a rhyming center.
This was my favorite find! They are snack containers. I will be using these as a shape sorting center. In the fall it will be 2d shapes like the lids, in the spring it will be for 3d shapes! 2 for the price of one! I think my kiddos will sort the foam shapes you can find at stores like Michaels, but I might have them cut out pictures from catalogs and put them in the box that matches the shape of the object they cut out.
Yay for The Dollar Tree!
