New week: Plans, Math Centers, Freebies & More!!

It' simply amazing to see the gains a Kindergartner can make in just a couple weeks of school!

This upcoming week I am going to attempt meeting with a few reading groups during Daily 5.  I'm not exactly sure how it will go, but we'll see :)  I feel as though telling the students you won't be available during Daily 5 because you'll be at your table- is completely different than me actually being back at my tables with students.  Kids need to see things before they can truly process the idea.



Here's what I have in my Guided Reading tub (so far).  In the small circular container are letters for each student's name.  I will be working with the child's names in my lower level group.  In the pink container are a few pieces from the rhyming puzzle I have.   I also have high frequency word cards & letter cards.  The white sound boxes were a freebie on {this} post!


Here are the segmentation mats I had above!  Grab them for free on this {site}
 
Additional Guided Reading/Intervention Activities!!

Letter Caterpillars!!
This activity is in my Word Work Super Pack!

Letter Strips!
This is a letter strip and the students place the matching cards on top...great 1:1 practice.
It is a freebie activity on this site
This upcoming week I will be introducing the number bracelets for numbers 1, 2, & 3!

These pages are a freebie by me!  Click {here} to download!


This week I will also be introducing that numbers can be represented in multiple ways!  I will be having the students come to the carpet and first intro the numerals 1, 2, & 3.   I will then show the students how numbers can be represented by their word.  Lastly, show students how objects such as dots can represent numbers as well.

The cards & practice pages are in my Dot Cards packet. 


I will be starting my math centers this upcoming week!  Below I will show you my 8 math centers along with the source of each!

your students are so lucky to have you Tara. It's obvious that you've put a lot of time and thought into these activities (and a lot of thought into where kinders are developmentally at this stage).

Fantastic!

How do you hold your kids accountable for the individual math centers? I love the ideas, but I'm curious about the accountability. Thanks for sharing!!

I assign 2 students to each tub. I will eventually resort to a rotation board, but because we are just starting I am assigning them to a tub myself. Our math centers are at the end of the day so they are a lot more "relaxed" as far as how quiet they need to be- compared to that of the morning literacy daily 5.

I keep a laminated class list in each bucket and they have to cross off their name when they are done. It helps me to keep track!
