Emergent Readers.....At Last!

Hello Friends! I have finally tackled making emergent readers to go along with my little units. I'm not a spatial thinker AT ALL, like I have trouble with back and front copies. {Granted with the copy machine at school it is difficult depending on if you papers are printed landscape or portrait.} I had wanted to make them to go with my little units, but I was afraid I would royally mess them up. I finally gave it a try since we have been out the past 4 days for rain, flooding and snow. I am pretty sure I got it and it really wasn't so hard in the first place.

SNOW Much Fun!

 

Here is a little recap of last week:
Since we haven't had snow here yet, only rain, we had a snowball {marshmallow} fight outside. This was SO much fun for students and teachers. All I have to say is don't use the big marshmallows. We used both sizes and after being chased around with marshmallows pelting me, the big ones kinda hurt.

We also made hot chocolate. Not your average Swiss Miss, but homemade!

Above is our -at snowmen my RTI kiddos made. They did wonderful with this, but you may have noticed one of them is upside down. He told me that it was NOT a snowman, but a pot shooting out snowballs. Don't you just love the imagination at this age!?

 

 

All ready to start the mitten!

This chart will be up for the week. Today we labeled the animals with the kiddos helping me on beginning and ending sounds. Students then made their own mitten with the animals in order and labeled them. That went in their writing folder for future reference. 

Yes, that IS a bucket of candy under my easel! :)

Here is a link to my mitten unit that I will be using this week:

I just love the clipart from KPM Doodles!

As always, when I post about a new unit, the 1st TWO followers to comment with their email will get it for free. :)

 





Ready To Start Back...and a FREEBIE

I cannot believe that the break is over and it's time to head back to school! Shew, it really flies by fast. But I am so excited about the unit my kinders will be doing when we start. We are working on snow/cold thematic units for January and will of course have a celebration with hot chocolate and pajamas {any excuse for a pajama day....right?!}.

The first book we are going to do is "The Cold Lady Who Swallowed Snow" by Lucille Collandro. I LOVE these books. I already have a "cold lady" made for each of my kiddos to use to retell the story.

And of course, we are going to have stations about the "cold lady" with sequencing, beginning sounds/blends, write the room and writing.
