Alphabet Songs!

Have Fun Teaching is such an incredible resource for teachers!  When I first began blogging, I won a giveaway from Randi @ Teach it With Class and won one of their CDs.  LOVE it!

Their Alphabet Songs would be absolutely PERFECT for the beginning of the year kinder kiddos!  Here’s a little sample:

These are such a great way to reinforce letters and letter sounds in a fun way!  It is so easy to get stuck reviewing and teaching them the same way all the time, but I would encourage you to try these out.  I can guarantee your kiddos will LOVE them!

How do you reinforce the letters and letter sounds? Would love to hear some great ideas!

A Whole Lot of Random! :)

Okay…let me just say I’m so sorry!!  I had intentions of announcing the last winner, sharing a freebie and more this weekend!  But, I was home with my family and needed to enjoy some time with them. We had a HUGE garage sale on Friday and Saturday…in the RAIN.  Fun right?  I was soaking wet all day Friday.  But, we sold a bunch of stuff and donated the rest, so it was all worth it!  Then we celebrated Mother’s Day with the whole family. Such a fun time!
Now for the winner!!
Congratulations Claudia!! I’ll be emailing you shortly!

Now for a freebie! 

I guess technically these could be used anywhere but they are great for end of the year gifts or teacher appreciation gifts!  Just simple little thank you notes to let people know how thankful you are!!

Just print and cut pages in half! Two thank you notes per page.  Click the image above for your free download!
Last week I posted a freebie on Teachers Pay Teachers.  It is a cute poem to send home to parents just sharing how much you enjoyed having their kiddos in class.  Well, I had a thought for a craftivity this weekend!  The final product looks like this:

The poem is at the bottom on the flowerpot and you put a picture of the student in the middle of the flower! I was pleased with how it came out! You can get it for $1.50!

Get it here:

Enjoy!

Catch up!!! & Sale Reminder!

So I’ve been busy creating! And some of them I haven’t shared! So I thought I’d do a quick showcase of some things I think would be useful for you!!

The first is a reading comprehension pack that can be used with any book! It has ideas and response sheets for character, setting, problem & solution, text to self connections, text to text connections and text to world connections. It also includes three variations of reading logs!

                       
                       

The next pack is something that I have looked for forever and couldn’t find so I made it! I always wanted a set of picture cards for students to sort based on beginning sound. This pack includes sorts for all consonant letters, digraphs & blends, and long & short vowels. You can mix and match them in whatever way fits your students!!!

                         
   

This one was a request by a sweet teacher! It’s a mini-unit to go with If You Give a Pig a Pancake by Laura Numeroff! It includes sequencing activities, cause and effect, alphabetizing, counting by twos, patterns, and addition! I plan to make others to go with the other books but for now…

                     
                     

And here’s one more! This one is a summer themed one!!! Can’t you just feel it?! This one hits on camping, pool party, and fun summer things! It has activities that review even vs. odd, number sequencing, number form matching, sight word recognition, unscrambling sentences, and vowels. A great review for the end of the year!
