Here are some number word cards (for numbers 1-12) that you can use along with the number cards (pictured in color above), number order and abbreviation cards in My Calendar Companion. You can download the number word cards here.
We all LOVE summer vacation, but not the “summer slide”! One of the ways I’m keeping my kids learning this summer is with My Calendar. The My Calendar Companion {for grades K-2} has so many great printables to use each month. Just yesterday we used the build-a-calendar for June, the 2015 year-at-a-glance calendar, the numeric date teaching tool, The Four Seasons responsive reader, and the seasons posters.
After using the My Calendar Companion printables, my kindergartener was ready to complete the June calendar sheet.
On each MONTHLY CALENDAR WORKSHEET, your kids will:
** Write today’s date (month, day, year)
** Choose today’s day of the week
** Write the date numerically
** Write the month abbreviation
** Write the number of days in the month
** Dot the ten-frames with today’s number (date)
** Tally today’s number
** Determine whether today’s number is even or odd
** Mark today’s season
** Dot the today’s number as money
** Complete the sequence
(Each sheet also has a number line).
** There are also simple equations and counting exercises that are unique to each sheet. So, don’t let your kindergartener get caught sliding this summer. Keep them engaged with these FUN, hands-on activities!
Are you getting ready to start sight words? You are going to LOVE the ULTIMATE SIGHT WORDS Bundle and MORNING WORD WORK. Click on the pictures, or links, to see how your children can have FUN while learning to be GREAT readers and spellers!
I always like looking back over the school year during the last week of school. It amazes me what my kids have learned. I enjoy filling their final notebook with all the highlights of the year–their creative writing; calendar worksheets; math fluency and scripture memory sheets.
And, of course, my kids LOVE getting their awards!
I also like having them recount their “favorites.” The kids all have fun reading each others answers. I enjoy seeing what they consider to be their achievements. I also like getting a peak at the dreams (for their future and the summer) that they don’t always verbalize.
You may have noticed that Kindergarten Jedi is loaded with fun and engaging math and literacy worksheets (print-n-go) for your young padawans. But, did you know that it also has a wonderful word building game that all your kids can enjoy together?
Solo’s Sound Wars will challenge your kindergarteners to sound out and build CVC and CVCC words. It will also allow your older children to demonstrate their spelling abilities and teach the younger ones something new!
My fifth, third, second and kindergarten children played Solo’s Sound Wars with some FUN and AMAZING results!
They built plenty of CVC words; used the true blends and double consonants; and demonstrated mastery of vowel teams!
As we enter the last month of our homeschool year, I find myself making mental notes about next year, and getting nostalgic about this one. Another school year is coming to a close. Yes, it is good to be nearing the finish line, but I want to capture where each of my kids is right now and bottle it up. What if I forget the joys from this year? And the struggles that motivated us to work harder and dig a little deeper? I want to be able to look back years from now and reminisce about our homeschool journey. So, this week I had my kids record this year’s favorites and look ahead to our summer break. Here is a look at what we used:
There is one for the boys and another for the girls. All of my children enjoyed filling in their favorites. My first grader needed a bit of help spelling a few things she wanted to write, but otherwise had fun on her own filling it in and coloring it! (The recording sheets in My Favorite Things are printer-friendly,black-and-white, and can be colored by your kids). There is also an autograph page, so you can record all your students’ signatures.
