Now soaring in Kindergarten
Today we did a mini-unit on The Mitten by Jan Brett, one of my favorites! I did some investigating and found some things online to include with the book and made some of my own (all shared below). First off, we read the book and I added a copy of it to our reading station along with picture cards to review the story order….

Keeping in line with my recent theme of simple crafts and activities, I created this pack! These are penguins I made before we got out for the holidays and everyone loved them…not to mention they were SUPER easy!!

Teaching Kindergarten has changed a lot of what I do and how I do it. But my Firsties AND this year’s Kinders all LOVE the story We’re Going on a Bear Hunt and its alternate version, We’re Going on a Lion Hunt. They love the books so much that I had to buy second copies to put in our reading station! They love the repeated

Gobble, Gobble! Each week we have vocabulary words which we go over and one of this week’s words was “complaining”. So I asked, who complains in your house the most? This is what a couple of my kiddos said… Of course, there was a mom that complains…. I love the open mouth! Surprisingly enough, dad and siblings were the number one choice in my
Alright, as most of you know, I am teaching K this year (only) and so I haven’t wanted to really do a lot of my usual craftivities because for 1. they are too hard for this year’s Kinders and 2. My students (these students) can do them next year when they are in first grade. So I wanted to come up with something SIMPLE
You know I love labeling, I mean there are 21 different ‘Label It!’ Packs in my shop! With Kindergarten students this year, I needed to create something that was more appropriate for the students I have who aren’t quite ready for ‘whole word’ labeling projects.
