I am preparing as many fall activities
for my class now.
Here is what I am going to be doing the 4th week of
school
while learning about the letter Aa.
(We use the Orton Gillingham
Recipe for Reading letter order.)
First, I just finished this simple Aa Activities letter pack.
{I updated this pack on 9/16/14 so re-download it to get all the NEW stuff!}
This TONS of PRINTABLE and PLAYABLE activities you can get for your classroom.
Here is a look at the Aa and Oo sorting sheet.
And this fun handwriting practice. 
We also take these ABC apples to order our letters A-Z. This is just a smart game to play on a regular basis in a prek or kindergarten room. This reviews all the letters and sounds, if you choose, in one game!
There are also 3 sets of phonics sheets with directions.
You can use these to help teach increase your phonics instruction.

This is one side or a two sided phonics sheet.
Here is a great apple juice themed activity. There is a short a cup of apple juice with an apple on it. There is also a long a apple juice cup with an acorn on it. Students put the apple slices into the correct sound cup.
If you need a recording sheet or follow up activity, there is a sorting sound printable for long and short A you can use. 
And of course I have a great freebie for you!
Here is an apple themed ten frame printable.
Students can color in the ten frame to make it match the number given.
You can also have your students take to colors and make an addition problem with the number given to be the solution. For example, if 9 is given, students may color in 2 spots of the ten frame with red and 7 spots of the ten frame.

There are also apple themed writing mats! These are a fun way to get your students writing numbers with a themed background. I don’t know about you, but I know that I have to keep my little learners writing their numbers ALL the time. 
Here is a look at just one of the handwriting mats.
Now take a peek at this fun counting apples printable. I love to use as a counting and number writing formation assessment.
I also included so much more!
It includes: Basket Sort with NEW printables
We are just beginning O-G and I can't wait to use your products!

Thanks for sharing your apple freebies; however TPT link that you have under the 2nd one for the apple puzzle goes to Teacher's Notebook, instead of TPT. I tried the TN as well just to see if the links could be backwards, but they both go to Teacher's Notebook. Just thought you would like to know in case you wanted to fix it.
Link should be fixed and ready to go! Thanks for the heads up!
I got sent to TN 2x, too. :/
I'm looking forward to checking it out though. 😀

You Might Be a First Grader….
Fixed and ready! hehe
the Q- tip apple ten frame sheet is not in the preview for the unit? Thank you again for this amazing unit!
Mary,
it might just be my computer but I could not download or print the preview for this. I tried another one of your products and it downloaded easily so I wonder if it just the Letter A preview.
it is there… I just checked it myself!
Is the apple ten frame still available as a freebie? I get an error when I click on it. 🙂 It's so adorable.
click on the packet. It will go to the page on tpt but then under the picture click on the prveiew. I got it that way! Good luck ! Barb
It wouldn't open for me either. I have an activity that would do go with this.
Hi the Apple Ten Frame free printable says page cannot be found. 🙁
I just checked it and it is there. 🙂
I also can’t print the Apple ten frame. Too bad it’s so cute.
Follow the directions and it is yours. Click the PREVIEW for the freebie.
