Center Saturday

I hope y’all had a GREAT week at school. We had a fall break last weekend and my little family and I got to head to Disney for the long weekend. Hence, I missed posting Center Saturday last week. I am debating posting it for you guys anyways since I love this weekly post.

Regardless, I am back to the scheduled programming this week with an awesome addition of Center Saturday. This week we learned about the letter Tt, farm animals, the word “this,” and we had a TON of meaningful fun along the way.

 

Yellow- Math- We made sets of numbers for our treasure chests using ten frame jewels. I made this activity to cover number 0-20. Each student had to complete at least 4 treasure chests. I loved that my kids had to use two different ten frames to make 20 instead of one card with the two ten frames on it. My kids had to try a little harder to build the numbers.
This is part of my Letter Tt Activities Pack.

Orange- Writing- we used this Write Me Three sheet about pigs to talk about why we need farms and pigs. I just finished this pack here!

  Red- Reading- We used the treasure chest mats to sort. One set had students sorting capital and lowercase letters and the other sets had students sorting -at and -ot family words.
This is part of my Letter Tt Activities Pack.

 

Purple- We put the turkey cards in ABC order. Since we do this often, my kids are really getting good at it. I made these turkey cards my first year teaching and I LOVE them. {I can’t part with them because I remember cutting out each letter with an exacto knife and gluing it down with rubber cement glue.} I did make an updated version here in the Letter Tt Activities Pack.

Blue- Unit- We made these scarecrows using The Mailbox idea and direction sheets. I am strongly encouraging independence at this stage in K and I wanted my kids to follow the picture directions on their own to create their scarecrow. Many of my students did AWESOME. A few really, really, really wanted me to walk them through creating this art step by step!

Green- Unit- We did this awesome Farm Secret Code Word activity. My students were able to check their work using the QR codes provided. It was so much fun because it was a review of letters, numbers, creating words, and using technology in one lesson.

Here is my newest Write Me Three pack… all about the FARM.

Here’s to a great weekend!

I am hoping to finish up my Farm Write Me Three and create another reading comp game.
