Hello dear Amigurumi FollowersToday we share Amigurumi Little Wolverine Free Pattern for you. As you know we s

I've been meaning to upload the photos of the finished 'birthday tracker' wall display for a while and am finally getting around to it! The kiddos have really enjoyed this design. I was unsure of my decision to mount the display at their level - afraid that they'd get too rambunctious and pull the names off - but they've done a fabulous job. In fact, it's been fun to see them perusing the names before class, during free time, etc. and they're always super careful. My assistant, Maddy, and I love helping our preschoolers find their name, as well as match the other name plates to their classmates. Most of them can recognize which circle is their own, but it's great to see them learning how to recognize/identify letters and sounds to figure out what the other name plates say! If you want to know how I created this display, be sure to check out the full post --> Safari/Jungle Theme Birthday Wall.

Happy December, Y'all! This is Chandra from Teaching with Crayons and Curls! This year my firsties have LOVED LOVED LOVED spending the day with a stuffed animal. Our class uses a classroom economy similar to this one from True Life I'm a Teacher and they use their money to purchase coupons. The 'Furry Friend' (spending a day with a stuffed animal) coupon is one of their favorites, so I knew I had to use this to my advantage! Meet our class Behavior Buddies- Listening Lion, Happy Hippo and Positive Pig! Aren't they adorable!? Students earn these Behavior Buddies when they are showing positive behavior! I usually choose one student per day to spend the day with each stuffed animal. Usually, they are chosen at the end of the day and they get to spend the next school day with that Behavior Buddy. The furry friend stays with them throughout the day in OUR classroom. They don't go to recess, specials, or lunch. Just makes things a little easier (and cleaner!). We've been using them for a few weeks now, and my students have started nominating each other to spend the day with a Behavior Buddy! I mean, how adorable and KIND is that!? It all started with one sweet little firstie saying, "Mrs. Dills, I think Sarah should get Listening Lion because she has been such a great listener today!" Yep, I made a HUGE deal about that! When students earn a Behavior Buddy for showing positive behavior, I also want to make sure that this is communicated to their families! So, I created certificates that the student can bring home to show their family! It's a great way to build that positive school-to-home relationship! I ordered all of my furry friends off Amazon. But, you can grab stuffed animals anywhere! Wal-Mart, Target, and the Dollar Store. There are many different animal options in my pack! Since it's so close to Christmas, I thought it would be fun to introduce holiday themed Behavior Buddies. You can grab this pack for FREE in my Teachers Pay Teachers store! Just click here or on the image below! I hope these cute little friends help promote positive behavior in YOUR classroom!

Os dejo por aquí unas láminas que no tienen nada del otro mundo. Hay miles de materiales de este tipo por ahí, pero como estoy in love con los iconos de flaticon, pues he querido hacerme mis propias láminas. Cada lámina contiene vocabulario de una categoría (frutas-verduras y hortalizas-alimentos en general-animales domésticos-animales salvajes-insectos-ropa-instrumentos, objetos en general y vocabulario de la calle). Estas láminas se pueden usar para trabajar la atención selectiva (buscar los elementos propuesto) conteo, cálculo de sumas (si queremos sumar los números de cada cuadrito después de haber contado) vocabulario, velocidad de procesamiento (si queremos poner tiempo) permanencia en la tarea, rastreo visual y organización en la búsqueda. Aquí podéis descargar el material: https://mega.nz/file/Ws8B1B6B#5SbJamk6Ef28XVKm_Ix3qMz31T1dsaEccn0STMirQGY ATENCIÓN: Si quieres descargar alguno de mis materiales y no puedes, prueba con el ordenador o con otro dispositivo. La app de mega no siempre funciona bien en los dispositivos móviles. Los enlaces se prueban siempre antes de publicar, y funcionan. Si no funcionaran, nadie podría descargar los archivos, y esto no ocurre. Por tanto, evita escribirme para decirme que el enlace no funciona. No voy a atender a este tipo de comentarios, porque el enlace funciona, no te funciona a ti, pero funciona. Espero que puedas entender que mi vida es más que el blog y las redes sociales, y no puedo estar solucionando cada problema particular. Prueba con un ordenador, si no te funciona, prueba con otro, si no con otro dispositivo, si no espera a hacerlo en otro momento, si no pídeselo a alguien, no sé... Y si has probado de "mil maneras" y no puedes, lo siento, pero no puedo ayudarte de otra forma. Siento si resulta borde, pero espero que podáis entenderme a mi también.

Hello everyone! how are you guys faring during this lock down period? Some days I'm super productive, some days I'm so lazy to do anything. I managed to make some baby Octopus for my little girl. It's the same pattern as my Octopus cupcake but with a little bow. It's super simple and doesn't require a lot of time. It's a beginner friendly project and i have included lots of step by step pictures in this post. Read below for instructions on how to make these adorable Octo babies. Materials needed: Worsted weight acrylic yarn in any two colours of your choice. 3.5 mm crochet hook. 8 mm safety eyes. Tapestry needle. Polyester fiber fill for stuffing. Stitches/ Abbrevations used: R - Round / Row. Ch - Chain. St - Stitch. Sc - Single crochet. Hdc - Half double crochet. Dc - Double crochet. Inc - Single crochet increase (2 sc in same st). Dec - Single crochet decrease (2 sc together) Sl st - Slip stitch. This pattern is written in US crochet terms and worked in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise. Head: With main colour yarn, R1: 6 sc in magic ring (6). R2: Inc in each st (12). R3: [ sc, inc ] x 6 (18). R4: [ sc in next 2 st, inc ] x 6 (24). R5: [ sc in next 3 st, inc ] x 6 (30). R6 - 10: sc in each st (30). R11: [ sc in next 3 st, dec ] x 6 (24). Insert 8 mm safety eyes between R8 and R9 with 6 stitches in between. R12: [ sc in next 2 st, dec ] x 6 (18). Stuff the head firmly will fiber fill and stuff as you go. R13: [ sc, dec ] x 6 (12). R14: dec in each st (6). Weave in the ends and fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing. We use popcorn stitch for making tentacles. Popcorn stitch explained: 5 double crochet in the specified stitch, pull up the loop on your hook and carefully remove the hook. Insert your hook from front on the top of first double crochet stitch and grab the dropped loop from behind and pull it through. Finally secure the stitch with A chain (see pic below for reference). Note: When you make the first popcorn stitch, you will chain 3 (which counts as first dc) and 4 dc in the same stitch. You will insert the hook on the third chain of the first stitch and continue the other steps of the popcorn stitch as usual. Tentacles: R1: 8 sc in magic ring (8). R2: 2 sc in each stitch (16) and sl st to the first st. Work a popcorn stitch in the first st, *skip one st, make a popcorn stitch in next st*, rep ** 6 more times and sl st to the first st. You will now have 8 popcorn stitch made in a round that looks like a flower. Bow: With any yarn colour of your choice, In magic ring, *Ch 2, hdc, dc, hdc, chain 2 and slip stitch into the ring* twice. Pull the tail to close the ring. wrap around the middle of the bow 3 times and make a knot at the back. Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing. Assembling: Attach the tentacles to the head. Add in the bow to the head around R5. And your Baby octopus is now done! I really hope you liked the tutorial. Don't forget to share your makes on Instagram with the tag #littleloveeveryday.

If you are just starting your career in Early Intervention or have been working with these itty bitties for a long time, you will LOVE these toys. I admit it. I am a shopaholic for toys to use in early intervention. My criteria for choosing a toy is that it has to elicit multiple opportunities to practice phonology, language, vocabulary, and communicative intent. These are some of my most favorites. As my 10-year old (in his wisdom) pointed out to me--"your kids learn while they are playing and they don't even know it." I put pictures on lots of my toys. These are perfect. Mega Blocks I printed these pictures for apraxia on large sticky backed mailing labels, cut them out, and put on the mega blocks. These are available at my TPT store. Connect 4 Get a free set of 107 symbols for CVC, CVCV and CVCVC words for /p/, /b/, /m/, & /n/ for early developing sounds https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Connect-4-Stickers-for-CVC-CVCV-CVCVC-Words-2773793 Zingo (Think Fun) Kids love this game. I also printed pictures on sticky labels and placed on the game tiles. I have created these sets for the game: "CV, VC, & CVC Cards" and "Pronoun & Verbs Cards" and CVCVC Cards. Token Towers (SuperDuper) Every child will add chips to Token Towers endlessly just for the fun of filling the towers. Laugh & Learn Piggy Bank (Fisher Price) This one even sings which makes it a hit with little ones. The pieces are also nice and big for little hands. I attach pictures to the coins with velcro or Tack It. Some games come with pictures that are ready to use. They are great for vocabulary and following directions. Snack Attack (Think Fun) is great for vocabulary and food classification. Seek-a-Boo (Mindware) has large pictures that can be placed on the floor for kids to find (receptive) or label (expressive) while they are moving and active. Roll and Play Cube (Think Fun) Kids roll the soft block then choose a picture card that is the same color. The card will describe an action for them to do. These games are great for reinforcers. Roll-a-Rounds Swirlin’ Surprise Gumballs (Fisher Price) Brilliant Basics Dunk’n Cheer Basketball Pop the Pig Feed that pig hamburgers, push on his hat, and watch his tummy get bigger and bigger until he POPS! If you are looking for books to engage even the youngest child you have to have Poke-a-Dot Books. Raised buttons are on every page and kids press them as they label the pictures. While these books are counting books, I have the children name each picture rather than count. This allows multiple practices of the words. Kathy

It's the end of the year and amazing things are happening in kindergarten! This week we completed our animal research projects. These kiddos blew me away! I wrote a blog post all about writing animal research papers in kindergarten HERE if you would like to see how I get this started. Today I will share an update on how our research papers went this year and a little freebie at the end to get you started. I used a class set of books we received from the Kiwanis earlier in the year. They are from Scholastic and come in sets of 5. Each book has lots of pictures of different kinds of animals so students have choices regardless of the book they pick. Once students picked their book they went to do a little reading on their own. They picked an animal from the book and started writing. I encouraged them to draw a picture first to really get to know their animal before they decided what facts they were going to share. I didn't expect them to jump "write in" and start writing but they did! The class was silent as they went to work writing about their animal. Some sat around the floor to find a quiet area for their research and some build little privacy areas around themselves so they wouldn't be bothered. A little privacy with folders and her book so she can get to work! A quiet spot on the floor was all this one needed to get focused. The thing that always amazes me about these research projects is that students that rarely write a full sentence suddenly are writing pages because they are writing about something that INTERESTS them! That's what we want right? Don't get me wrong, we always have choice in our classroom when it comes to writing but this project just really inspires students to do more. I had to have this one read to me first but once she read it I got it! ANTS! This sweetie spoke very little English when she came to school and now she is writing her very own research papers on her own. What an accomplishment! "Ants is bug are red" Remember what I said about kiddos that don't write very much. They write "I like..." and are done with it on a daily basis? Well this kiddo gives me that a lot but today was totally different. Notice the phonetic spelling....no copying out of the book here! He did his research and wrote what he wanted to write about his creature. Check out those finger spaces too! Ok, now for the FREEBIE! If you would like this ALL ABOUT page just click HERE. It also includes an All About Beavers page that I use the week prior during our Reading Street Building Beavers unit. I blogged about that HERE. It's a great way to do a group research project first before sending your kiddos out on their own. Thanks for stopping by today! It's been a little while since I have blogged about ANYTHING and it feels good to share a little fun we've had in the classroom! We only have a few weeks left....I don't know exactly and I refuse to countdown. (#takedownthecountdown) I am enjoying every last second with my kiddos! Save this post for later!
