Halloween Fine Motor Activities

I'm so excited to share about my Halloween-themed fine motor activities!  The whole month of October always seems a little crazy with parent/teacher conferences, work days, and Halloween parties.  The activities in this pack add to the excitement and fun but also reinforce critical fine motor skills! I've been hearing about all sorts of great ways you're all using these fine motor ... Read More about Halloween Fine Motor Activities

Apple-Themed Fine Motor Activities

One of my favorite themes in preschool and kindergarten has always been apples.  There are so many different things you can do with apples that are hands-on: apple stamping, apple graphing, apple sorting, and apple tasting! I recently made a back-to-school fine motor pack and I had lots of fun making an apple-themed pack as well.  I kept some of the same types activities as the ...

January Literacy Centers for Kindergarten

I recently added the January literacy centers to my Kindergarten Literacy Centers Bundle and I'm going to share all about them today!  These centers are non-thematic so they can be used in any setting and can be rearranged as needed. When I started creating my new literacy centers, I really wanted to create activities that are versatile.  Basically, I want other teachers to have a ...

Word Spinners Recording Pages {Freebie!}

Hi there!  I recently found these word spinners at Target and realized how awesome they would be for literacy centers or morning work tubs.  I asked on my Facebook page whether anyone would be interested in free recording pages for them and I got lots of responses, so I made them! Before I go any further, I want to point out that on the CVC word spinner, the manufacturers (who clearly ... Read More about Word Spinners Recording Pages {Freebie!}

Back-to-School Fine Motor Activities

As a former K-2 special education teacher and kindergarten teacher, I have always been passionate about fine motor work.  At the beginning of the school year in kindergarten, I always had some students who had acceptable fine motor skills.  I would also have some sweeties that were still refining their fine motor skills.  I knew that I would have to provide lots of opportunities for ...

Earth Day Exploration Stations or Centers

Earlier this year, I created a set of Kansas Day-themed stations that I absolutely fell in love with.  Similar to my morning work tubs, I really enjoy creating activities that work perfectly in tubs or at centers and their format really allows me to be creative.  With Earth Day coming up, I decided to go a similar route and I created this brand-new Earth Day Exploration Stations/Centers ...

Mermaid Letter Tracing Cards

Hey there!  Today, I wanted to take just a second to share this adorable activity that I made for my three year-old!  She is fascinated by mermaids and we stumbled upon this fun tape at Target that reminded us of mermaids.  I decided to turn it into a hands-on alphabet activity for her. I bought a couple containers of blue and silver glitter and some clear hair gel.  Once we ... Read More about Mermaid Letter Tracing Cards

The November pack builds upon the skills ... Read More about November Literacy Centers for Kindergarten

October Literacy Centers for Kindergarten

Hello!  I'm here today to share about my brand-new October Literacy Centers for Kindergarten.  If you recall from my blog post about my September Literacy Centers, I am working on a year-long set of literacy centers that are non-thematic.  Today I'm going to share a sneak peek at all of the centers in my October pack! There are several reasons why non-thematic centers work ... Read More about October Literacy Centers for Kindergarten

September Literacy Centers for Kindergarten

If you're like many kindergarten teachers, you have a literacy block or rotation every day that includes independent learning centers.  If you're anything like me, coming up with meaningful and engaging center activities week-after-week can be extremely time-consuming.  I have always loved using thematic and seasonal centers and I've even created several seasonal/holiday center packs.  However, ...
