Center Saturday

What an amazing week at centers we had!

We are learning about the letter Tt, -at word family, sight word she, and pumpkins.

Math- this is a ten frame matching activity I made based on the letter t for treasure chest. Each chest has a number on it and students have to match ten frame “jewels” to that chest. It was for numbers 0-20. {This was a part of my Tt Activities pack, which is part of this bundle.) Number 0-10 were NOT hard for my students but numbers 11-20 were. Some students were adding using the ten frames without realizing it. We will be going more of these activities for SURE!

Writing- I made a simple handwriting sheet with the -at family words on it. We are working hard to use only lowercase letters in words.

Phonics- This is not the best picture, but it is what we did! It was a simple letter stamping activity for L, O, G, H, and T. They stamp the big letter, then the little letter, then write the letter. Overall, I wanted my students to work with stamps and ink pads so I can open up some more word work activities. And it is a little more fun that just writing letters.

Reading- We put turkey cards in ABC order.   I made these 8 years ago! (GASP!)

But I did make a digital copy {here} in my Tt Activity pack.)

Unit- We traced and sponge painted pumpkins. Although this was FUN- tracing is hard for these students. They loved it, but tracing took them a bit to get use to.

We also copied down the pumpkin chart we created as a class for Pumpkins- have, are, become. I printed out the flipchart we created and allowed students to pull from that. Since we filled out the flipchart together, it was meaningful writing and I heard great discussions about pumpkins why they were writing words onto their charts.
