This week we are learning about the letter Gg,
the word like,
the -og family,
and seasons, specifically the fall.
Math- this looks like a simple ten frame worksheet, but it was tough for many of my kids who are still building number sense. I will be making more of these activities in the future as my class needs a LOT of practice with this.
Writing- again, this looks like easy writing, but I made my class use lowercase letters and play attention to that dotted line.
Phonics- this is a game I made when I did the letter Gg with community helpers. I used mailboxes for letters with envelopes with pictures. Students have to match the beginning sound of the word to the correct beginning letter mailbox. This game had only L, O, and G options. They loved it and many played this game over and over again. It is FUN to play mailman!
Reading- we used this -og family game to match frogs to logs. The frogs had -og family pictures. The logs had the word.
Unit- We did a fun season sort. You sort the pictures into the correct season.
We also created this fun and easy scarecrow using The Mailbox step by step directions. SO CUTE.
I got the mailbox and frog accents from The Mailbox. I searched for the link for you and {here} it is. I am not making any money from sending you here, just trying to save you as much time as possible. I LOVE their cut out buddies and many of them are on sale now. I will be purchasing a new more asap so I can create some more games.
I hope you can use some of these ideas in your classroom.
I'm curious as to how many groups you have and how long is each center? I have 7 groups and each day they rotate through 3 stations. each station is about 25 min. I'd love to start fitting in centers like the ones you've showcased, but I'm wondering if for example I'd have to make 5 sets of mailboxes and envelopes for each child or do you have them work together?

I have 6 work centers each week. I also have 8ish or more play centers, like kitchen, art, legos, cards, etc. Each child is suppose to do 2 work centers on Mon, Tues, and Wednesday. I help reteach and work with those who can't on Thur and Fri since most are done with their work by then.
I don't have a set time. I have a board with clips I use for management. Some kids take 5 minutes, some take 30. If you finish and get checked off the list, you can go to another center.
here is a list of all my Center Saturday post with pics of my management board and TONS of info.

Some centers they work together- like on the mailboxes this week. Some like the frogs on logs, they do not. It is usually harder for them to work with others, but they have to learn how to do it.
Very cute activities! Thanks for sharing!
