Center Saturday

Every Friday night and Saturday morning, I work on this post for you guys. I usually type it out on Friday and proof it on Saturday am… BUT, last night my body literally crashed! I was out cold by 10:30.

{I think not sleeping for 4 months plus is catching up to me! Plus, I am going to have to start letting E cry it out some at night because she is totally playing me and getting me up STILL, even though she doesn’t need me at all. And I fall for it every night!}

So, pardon the later than usually Saturday Center post.
This week we learned about the letter Pp, teen numbers, the sight words they and you, and we worked on Thanksgiving activities. We do a TON of art and learning activities using this theme.

This week in math, we filled in the pies with the missing number. My goal is for them to learn to count on from a number and to see the patterns numbers have. Some of my students are getting it and others start counting at 1 each and every time. {Letter Pp Activities on TpT, here on TN}

I writing, we have been using my Write Me Three formats to write about the things we like to each on Thanksgiving. My students HAVE to read to me what they write because it doesn’t matter what you write if you can’t read it. We are going to start working on changing our three items into one long sentence using the connecting word and soon. Some of my student can already do this verbally and a few can do it written. {Write Me Three Months on TpT, here on TN}

For reading this week, I wanted my students to work on their sight words. They used this fun activity to write in the missing letters from these pie sight words. They had the missing letters in the bottom right corner and they have a word wall to use as well. This was tough because my kids had to think about sight words separately, but I love to make them think outside the box every chance I can. {Thanksgiving Fun! Activities on TpT, here on TN}

At our phonics center, we filled in the missing letter using these parrot cards. I am letting my kids use capital letters to fill in this time around.{Letter Pp Activities on TpT, here on TN}

I love this activity and so did my class! This is a Thanksgiving Now and Then Secret Code Word game. My students use the code breaker sheet to find the word. There is also a QR code option they can use to self check their work. What I LOVE is that my QR codes show the picture answer, not just the text answer! {Thanksgiving Now and Then Secret Code Words here on TpT, here on TN}

And my last work center this week was a Thanksgiving Now and Then sorting mat. My students sorted the pictures to show what thanksgiving was like “then” and what it is like “now.” {Thanksgiving Fun! Activities on TpT, here on TN}

My activities this week came from these units:
