My First Centers - Literacy Centers for the first month of Kindergarten! As a primary teacher, I was always on the search for activities that could help ease my new students into the routine of academic centers. I needed predictable and familiar activities that were developmentally appropriate, hands-on, and engaging for my kinders in the beginning of the year. My First Centers are exactly what you need to get literacy centers up and running in your classroom. This pack has been created specifically for the first month of kindergarten. Kindergarteners need lots of practice and repetition before they are ready to work in true, rotating academic centers. They need to be able to work semi-independently and that can only happen when they know and understand the task and expectations. This pack will help build up that independence and set them up for success! Each activity in this pack contains multiple opportunities for students to practice skills in the same format. Included you will find ONE FULL MONTH of centers for the beginning of the year, including: 1. PRINT CONCEPTS CENTERS: ---Letters vs Numbers ---Letters vs Words 2. ALPHABET CENTERS: ---Magnetic ABCs: ---Uppercase ---Lowercase ---Upper/Lower Mix 3. PRINTING CENTERS: ---Uppercase Letters ---Lowercase Letters ---Upper/Lower mix 4. WRITING CENTERS: ---Themed Draw & Write (3 versions) 5. FINE MOTOR CENTERS: ---Playdoh or Pom Pom mats (26 versions) 6. MY FIRST SENTENCES CENTER: ---I like... Whole group cards and center work ---I see... Whole group cards and center work ---I can... Whole group cards and center work 7. LIBRARY CENTER: ---Directions for whole group lesson and center 8. EXPLORATION CENTER: ---Directions for whole group lesson and center Also included: * A SCHEDULE for teaching and running these centers the first month of school * CENTER LABELS (3") for a pocket chart or your center bins Please check out the preview to see a sample of all that is included! ----------------------Looking for My First MATH Centers??--------------------------- Find MY FIRST MATH CENTERS here! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you!
This is an emergent reader with simple text for early readers. I use this emergent reader with my kindergarten readers, but it could be used in pre-k to have the students practice identifying sight words and tracking print. It could also be used in first grade for struggling readers. The text in this emergent reader is repetitive and follows the pattern of Eric Carle's Brown Bear, Brown Bear book. It may be a supplement to a study of this book. This emergent reader is about shapes and colors. Each page focuses on a new shape and color. It has 5 basic shapes: square, rectangle, triangle, circle, and star. These books print 2 per page to save on ink and paper. We read these books together and they color them. When my students are finished reading and coloring this emergent reader they put it in their book baskets as another text they can read during Read to Self and Read to Someone during our Daily 5 rotations. *If you would rather purchase my growing set of emergent readers which features ALL of the emergent readers I have created and will create for one LOW price, please click on this link: Kindergarten Emergent Readers Bundle
