Pre-Kindergarten – 1st Grade

Help the baby owls find their mama owls by matching the capital letters to the lower case letters on their tummies. In this file folder game, students can practice letter recognition.

File folder games are so versatile. They can be used as part of a learning center, as a “take it to your seat” activity or any time students need something to do. And once they are laminated, they can be used for years.

Included in this resource:

– 4 full color pages for the file folder game containing all the letters of the alphabet
– 1 full color page of 26 baby owls with lower case letters
– 1 full color page with directions for assembling the game and the pocket to hold the game pieces
– 4 pages of B&W worksheets to practice writing the letters in 2 different designs

I hope you enjoy this resource. Thank you for stopping by my store.

These kite fact families are perfect for an interactive bulletin board or centers board. Print and laminate all of the pieces. Mount the kites on a bulletin board or a magnetic board. Use a piece of yarn or piece of fabric for the tail. Place the tail bows in a bucket. Students draw a bow and place it on the correct kite.

If you use this as a bulletin board, I think you should use velcro on the tail and the bows. If you are using it on a magnetic board, you can just place magnetic tape on the back of the bow.

Kindergarten – 4th Grade

Here is a fun little pack of interactive activities that your students can complete during the first few days of school. They will help fill the void as you take care of back to school essentials such as form filling and parents.

Included in the pack are three Let’s Lace Up activity cards. The cards are really a fun way of completing the basic matching activity that we do all the time. Instead of using pencil and paper, the students use string to join the items on each column together. The string will match the answer sheet on the back if they are laced correctly. Two of the cards feature back to school pictures and words that the students will match, and the last card features back to school compound words. These are great hands on, self-checking, interactive activities for your students. There is also a direction sheet included in the download. Students will have fun with these cards during the first days of school.

The bookmark features more back to school words; after completing they can be laminated, and of course it can be a useful tool.

Welcome your students with a tasty back to school treat. Fill sandwich bags with lucky charms cereal then staple the bag topper onto the bag after cutting and folding on the line. The back of the bag topper gives an explanation of each marshmallow shape. The bag topper is made for regular sandwich bags that measure about 7 x 8. There are two versions included: “Welcome to School” and “Welcome Back to School”. I have also included a note that I place inside each bag for the students to read or to have an adult read to them. Students are always excited to receive this treat and will also have fun filling out the bar graph worksheet which can be done as a homework assignment or in class.

Thanks for downloading and I hope your class enjoys this fun pack as my class does!

This is a measurement activity that requires measuring arm span and height. It is a great activity to do as a science experiment following the scientific process.
I have included the outline and the procedure for this on the following pages. I have also included a recording sheet for the results. I have included sheets for measuring in cm and inches.

I do this activity at my student-led conferences, so I have included a recording sheet for parents as well.

Here are some more of my measurement products for you to check out.

FREE MISC. LESSON – “Smartboard Attendance/Soccer Theme”

This entry was posted in 1st Grade 2nd Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade 6th Grade Kindergarten MISC. LESSONS and tagged back to school free on August 6, 2019 by Patrice Manchola (updated on August 5, 2019)

Students love to interact with the Smartboard! Take advantage of this with my fun soccer-themed attendance file. Once you set this up with your students’ names using the included directions, you are good to go for the rest of the year! When students enter the classroom in the morning, they drag their soccer ball to the net. You can easily tell who is absent because their soccer ball has not been moved. The important thing is to NOT save the file each day. That way it will reset with the balls back in their original positions.

I will be posting additional Smartboard files in the coming days. If you like my work, please “follow me” so you will hear about updates.

Thanks!

A great back-to-school activity! Students will use these forms to set a goal for the upcoming school year. There are 4 different forms included with two different style lines–great for differentiation or a range of grade levels.

Enjoy

FREE MATH LESSON – “Ten-Frame Penny Game”

This entry was posted in 1st Grade MATH LESSONS and tagged free on August 3, 2019 by Patrice Manchola (updated on July 28, 2019)

by Mercedes Merrell

1st Grade

Directions: Cooperatively in pairs, use one set of ten pennies and ten frame board. First player puts the pennies in his hands behind his back, put some in one hand the rest in the other. Put the pennies from one hand on the ten frame, then, without showing the content of the other hand, ask partner how many he thinks there are. Count the pennies as they are added to the ten frame board to complete ten. Make/Write that addition sentence, or the fact family on the record sheet. This is great practice for facts of ten during math centers.
