Large Sight Word Flash Cards

free download· free printables· freebie· literacy centers

Like many teachers, my sight word instruction has shifted in my kindergarten classroom. I used to teach rote memorization of many sight words during my phonics block every day. And while this is helpful for the development of reading in some students, it is not for all. The concept of "sight words" is that they have tricky spelling patterns and can not be "sounded out" or decoded letter-sound or phonics pattern knowledge. This is only true for a small percentage of sight words. So I ... Read More about Large Sight Word Flash Cards

Pencil Classroom Decor and Labels

B2S· Back to School· free download· freebie· Uncategorized

Lately, I have been loving an old-fashioned pencil design in my classroom. Pencil Crafts, pencil grip posters, pencil email signatures, and now pencil labels and classroom decor! We use these pencil labels as student name tags for our special helper display on our white board and as student name tags on seat sacks. And although I've always been incredibly organized, I do not always have things labeled the way I'd like. Labeling makes it so much easier for guest teachers and others to ...

crafts· free download

Spring crafts in my kindergarten classroom are just so much fun. At this time in the year, my students are easily able to independently color, cut, assemble, and glue all on their own. And they are prouder than ever to display their hard work in the classroom! I've really been working on timely, seasonal bulletin boards this year and crafts have made it all possible. My students can't get enough of seeing their work on our walls, then taking it home at the end of the month to make room for ... Read More about Favorite Spring Crafts + F R E E Download!

Literacy Centers in the Kindergarten Classroom

Uncategorized

My students can't get enough of our kindergarten math and literacy centers.  They love to use them in pairs, and I love how they work together while learning new skills. We don't currently have a designated center rotation in our schedule, so our centers are used throughout the day.  They are my students' favorite early finisher activity, and often rush right to our shelf to grab their favorite when they can. Some of my students' all-time favorite centers are ones they use with dry ... Read More about Literacy Centers in the Kindergarten Classroom

In all of my years, I’ve never had emergency sub In all of my years, I’ve never had emergency sub plans. ⁣
⁣
Principals often asked, but I just never did.⁣
⁣
Then this summer I finally got around to them. And I actually needed them twice in the last few weeks. ⁣
⁣
Who knew you could stay home and just work on getting better, instead of spending hours typing and prepping sub plans? Or even worse, not doing them at all and letting your team or admin scramble to get things ready. ⁣
⁣
Long story short: I am now team emergency sub plans. ⁣

They always wanted to know when we would move onto the next activity, how much time they had left during choice, how to self-regulate during transitions, and more.⁣⁣

Those problems were solved with the introduction of our visual timers.⁣⁣
