CVC Words Flip Books and Writing Activities

I have just finished my CVC Words Flip Books Activities. 

There are 3 different activities to do for CVC Words.

CVC Words Flip Books

 

I start the activity by getting my little ones to make the flip book and then draw a picture to match the words where possible. Some words cannot be illustrated. I create Anchor Charts and we do lots of work stretching the letters before we do these activities.


The little ones have a worksheet to complete where they record their words and then draw and label some pictures.

 

 Read, Copy, Write, Draw.

 This activity involves my little ones reading the words ~ note the ticks next to each word. They have to read each word 3 times and then tick the word.

Then they copy the words.

They have a jumbled sentence (using the words) to paste together correctly and then copy the sentence.

  Real and Nonsense Word Sort.

This is a good activity that gets your little ones stretching out the words and thinking about whether the word is a real word or not.

All these activities are available in my

 CVC Words Flip Books pack.

 You can download a sample of the activities to try at my TPT store HERE

Teacher Appreciation Week

To celebrate all the hard work teachers do, I am having a sale.

I have only just started my TPT STORE  so now is the time to get some of my work for a discount.

Happy  teaching!

More Pete the Cat

My copy of Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons arrived yesterday and it did not disappoint. Another great Pete the Cat story. I just loved the ending.

If you are planning on doing some activities about this latest book, you should have look at a great song by Heather Bishop called Bellybutton. I have been singing this song with my little ones for many years, its such a fun song all about belly buttons.

                           There is a short preview of the song  HERE
                       
Heather Bishop is a Canadian Folk singer. My school took all our little ones to see her perform here in Australia many years ago. She had the children up doing fun actions to her song. After attending her performance I just had to have a copy of the song. I know you will love it too. We have performed this song for parents many times.

I have her CD because there are other great songs on it like 'If you Love a Hippopotamus'. You can purchase Bellybutton from iTunes.

If you haven't read Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons yet you are probably wondering why I am talking about belly buttons....


I can't wait for next week so that we can do my Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons activities.
Andi over at Pencils, Glue & Tying Shoes has already got her copy of Pete The Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons and her little ones have done my activities. They look SO cute. Take a peek.

Kindergarten Sight Word Activities

We have been focusing the sight word 'ON' this week. We started by making a little emergent reader called Where is the Rain? Have a look at the great work my little ones did with this activity.

After they had highlighted the word 'on' I told them to find the first letter of the word to help them find the correct picture for each page. Once they had pasted all of their pictures into their book, they labeled each picture. I like to get my little ones to do as much reading and writing as possible but always providing scaffolding and lots of support.


The next day we completed my flip book activity focusing on the word 'on'. The little ones make a flip book that they can read independently. These books have simple text with picture support for each word change. The children then complete a worksheet where they practice writing the sight word as well as write sentences from their flip book.

                           All of my little ones work so hard on their activities.

Kindergarten is such a rewarding grade to teach. Hard work.... yes, especially at the beginning of the year but it is so wonderful to see how they grow.

                           These activities are for free on my TPT store HERE
                           I have also included the flip book activity for you to try.

                                                              Happy Teaching!

Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons

Don't you just LOVE Pete the Cat books. My little ones love the stories and the songs.
I have pre-ordered my copy of the newest book so I thought I would get ready and make some activities to go with the book. I made this craft activity of Pete, as well as a book review and graphing activity.

                                    These activities are available from my TPT store HERE

Where is the Rain? Emergent Reader.

     I have a little emergent reader that focuses on the sight word, ON.

Your little ones cut out the pictures and paste them on the correct page of the reader. On the last page, they draw a picture of themselves in the rain.

I have also included a sample of my Flip Books. I have included the flip book activity that also focuses on the same sight word so that you can use the two activities together.

                                        
                                            This is available for free on TPT HERE
                                   If you like my work, I would appreciate some feedback.


                                   My Flip Book Activities are also available on TPT.

Insect or Not? Freebie

 
We are on our end of term break and  I have no classroom stuff to post so I have two worksheets for you to add to your insect unit.

This is a sorting activity. Your little ones need to cut out the pictures and paste them into the correct box:  insect or not an insect.

                         This worksheet reinforces your little ones' knowledge about insects.

                           These worksheets are available for free at my TPT store HERE

Sight Word Flip Books

At the beginning of Kindergarten, I make these flip books which reinforces the basic sight words that early readers need to know. The Flip Books have simple sentences with repetitive structures.
I give the little ones six more picture pages to cut out. Once they are cut out I staple the pages together to make their flip book.
The little ones flip each page for a word change. Each word change is supported with a picture.

 The children have to trace the sight word that we are focusing on and then practice reading their book.
Once they have read their book, they complete a worksheet using their Flip Book to further practice the sight word.

I have just listed my Sight Word Flip Books and Writing Activities on TPT HERE

Counting By 5

I was in a year 1 classroom yesterday and saw this great idea to practice counting by 5 from another teacher. She doesn't have a blog so she has agreed to let me share it with you.
There are some very talented teachers at my school. A big thank you for sharing.
It is a very easy activity to recreate but if you were interested I could post the worksheet.
Just leave me comment.

                                                            ENJOY THE WEEKEND!

Easter Bunny Glyph

I love Easter time and all the cute pictures that go with it... bunnies chickens, flowers, eggs...
We have been busy doing our Easter Bunny Glyph and other Easter goodies.

I think our bunnies look SO cute!

Then we completed our Easter Bunny Glyph book.

We collected our data about the Easter Bunnies.

 

We analysed our data and wrote about it.

We labeled the Easter Bunny.

 

This is a great little story to read for Easter.

 

We did text to self connections and the children wrote what they would do if they were the Easter Bunny.

We also did a cute Easter Bunny Craftivty. 

 If you would like these fun activities for your little ones you can get them and more in my Easter Fun pack available at TPT HERE.  

HAPPY EASTER!
