FREE MISC. LESSON – “Superhero Themed Behavior Chart”

by Keep Your Chin Up

Pre-Kindergarten – 5th Grade

This is the behavior chart I used to go along with my superhero themed classroom. I printed each page on colored card stock, laminated it together, and used magnets for student numbers.

One thing to note is that if you do choose to use it on a specifically sized bulletin or magnet board, you may have to cut the bottoms of some pages to make it fit.

FREE MATH LESSON – “Color Sorting with Movable Pieces for Google Slides™ Google Classroom™”

by Learning Harbor Resources for Teachers

Pre-Kindergarten – Kindergarten

Do you want a way to effectively use computer technology with Pre-K and Kindergarten Students? Would you like students to develop computer or device skills while simultaneously developing the sorting skills that are so important to math and science? Here is a free lesson to help you teach technology skills and sorting skills at the same time. Before using this FREE lesson, start with sorting different colored objects such as blocks or counters. After your students have hands on practice with these, you can move on to this Google Classroom™ activity.

There are ten slides in this activity. Each slide asks the students to drag and drop all of one particular color into a marked space on the slide. There is a slide for each of these colors: blue, black, brown, white, green, orange, pink, purple, red and yellow. There are nine movable pieces of the requested color, some with different colored pieces mixed in. Students will sort the colors in the paperless activity and practice dragging and dropping objects on a computer or device.This computer activity can also be used as Response to Intervention or as an authentic assessment

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Bug Invasion Articulation Freebie”

by The Speech Attic

Pre-Kindergarten – 1st Grade

Bugs, Bugs, Everywhere! Help me catch them if you dare! 
Check out this freebie for final consonant deletion as a preview of my early developing articulation activities for spring.

Included:
30 final consonant deletion bugs
4 special “splat” bugs
2 bug collectors

Place Velcro on each bug and on a fly swatter. Spread the cards all over the table or around the room. Have your students smack the bugs with the fly swatter and place them in their jar. The student who collects the most bugs wins the game.

2.) Spread the cards out on the table face down. Students will take turns flipping a card over, saying the target word, and collecting the bugs in their jar. Watch out for the special cards. The student with the most bugs in their jar at the end of the game is the winner.
(Note: SPLAT!! Can mean give two cards back or lose a turn.)

Enjoy!
