I had a few sweet followers (who love my labeling packs) suggest that I create a pack which integrated science, specifically seasons & landforms with labeling.

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. This pack is what I came up with to help them label beginning sounds/letter names. There are color and
Kitty Cat Pack!
I have revised one of my packs and created an all new Kitty Cat Style Themed Pack. It has a bunch of the old activities, but added some new ones for the following books: Cookie’s Week by Cindy Ward, Have You Seen my Cat? by Eric Carle, and Six Dinner Sid by Inga Moore….and of course, still has some great activities for the Pete the
