I’m so EXCITED to share the Ultimate Sight Words Special VALENTINE’S Series with you!! It has been such fun for us to work on! It is LOADED with great hands-on learning, plus lots of engaging activities to get the whole gang ready for Valentine’s Day. Take a look:
The front of each Valentine Sight Word sheet is very similar to the Spot the Sight Word sheets of Series 1& 2 . But, the back is something new! Here, your students will practice drawing–sometimes just tracing, other times finishing a drawing or coming up with their own original artwork!
And the crafts in this special series are Valentine’s Day Cards!!! Aren’t they cute?! Your students will find the sight words and Valentine’s nouns that they are learning on these cards. They’ll then use them to write a special Valentine!
And what would one of our sight word packs be without a FUN game?!? Candy Craze will get your students reading, building sentences with their sight words and drawing (Pictionary-style).
And this series has additional math and literacy work that you can use well beyond Valentine’s Day!
The Valentine’s Party Planning Booklet has been such a help for us in reviewing the basics of writing names, dates, and time. Plus, the learning/re-learning our home address (street address, city, state and zip code) and phone number–vital information all of our kids should master :)!
The math sheets review counting, number order, finishing equations, graphing, addition and subtraction within 10 and 20, writing amounts of money, skip counting and shape recognition–GREAT learning and LOADS of FUN!
You’ll find the Ultimate Sight Words Special VALENTINE’S Series on sale at my TPT store through Monday. You also can enter to win your own copy here! Hope you LOVE it as much as we have!
Winter Pattern Play is such a FUN learning tool! You are going to LOVE it! It is not your average pattern-teaching resource. Instead, it combines pattern identification and skills your students should be mastering (identification of phonemes–beginning and ending letter sounds & blends; one-to-one correspondence; 2-D shapes; colors and skip counting).
Your students will begin learning various patterns (AB, AAB, AABB, ABB, ABC) using the tiles and print-n-teach worksheets.
Then, you’ll combine your students’ pattern identification skills with a phonemic review.
They will listen for beginning and ending letter sounds and blends–like “ch”, “cl”, “ft”, “pr”, “rd”, “sc”, “sl”, “sn”, “st”, “sw”, “th”, and “tr”.
Winter Pattern Play includes a section all about this season’s holidays–complete with pattern and phoneme identification.
Finally, you’ll develop your students patterning skills with 2-dimensional shape identification and drawing; color patterning; one-to-one correspondence using dice and basic skip counting (by evens/2s, odds, 3s, 4s, 5s, and 10s).

Here is a sneak peak at something new we are working on–Winter Pattern Play! This isn’t your everyday pattern work. It is pattern work with a twist of word work (beginning sounds and blends), addition, shape drawing, and holidays around the world. It should be posted by the end of the week!
Are you thinking about the first day of school, yet? I have a little freebie for you from MY CALENDAR: Holidays & Celebrations. It is a FUN way to introduce the calendar to your Kinders, or remind your Firsties about how we use the calendar. It is only available at my TPT store. So, hop on over and grab it while its there!
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!
My Royal Numbers is a super-FUN way to teach your children all there is to know about the numbers 0-20. It is loaded with hands-on learning, and best of all, it is Print and Teach! Each number 0-12, has 14 activities for your little learners:
For numbers 13-20, there are 13 activities for your children to complete:
*These sheets can be adapted to each of your children’s learning levels. Have your more advanced students use the number choices and tally marks as a guide—writing their own answers on each page instead of gluing on the tiles.
And once your children have mastered 0-20 it is time to celebrate! This pack includes certificates and royal crowns for your Princes and Princesses to celebrate their achievement! Then they’ll have a smile like this one:
