Now soaring in Kindergarten
Hi everyone! I feel like I have been running nonstop for the last few weeks. I haven’t had much time for creating new packs or freebies! I decided that today I would put together some activities for this week’s study of pumpkins. Nothing too fancy, but useful! Included are some brace maps for whole group and individual use…some labels for your pumpkin crafts, a nonfiction
Here are some freebies from last season! Find these here on Google Docs and this: Find it here on TPT and then this little freebie for after the holiday: Get it here on google docs
Something most teachers do is turn and talk partners while at the carpet reading a book. I decided to finally take the plunge and discuss the way to have a turn and talk partner with my Kinders.

I love the fact that the story integrates so many things…. flat shapes like squares and circles, but then also includes elements of social dynamics, too! Learning to be happy in your own skin (or shape) plus being sensitive
We had fun with the 3 Little Pigs this week in K! We read different versions and talked about characters and Beginning Middle, and End.
