February Valentine Literacy & Math Center Fun

I'ts been awhile since I've created any literacy & math centers. 

 February is one of my favorite months, so many fun ways to teach. 

So, I decided to get back in the swing of things and create a few Valentine Activities.

First, I headed over to Scrappin Doodles and I found a really cute Valentine Train!

 I couldn't resist making a cute Valentine Express Train Activity.

Valentine Express Train Fun

Beginning Sound Sort

Memory Game

Let's Count!

I really love how it turned out!

I also revamped my Valentine Heart Bingo

Now, it is available with 4, 20 or 30 boards!

Valentine Heart Bingo is perfect for your class party, everyone loves to play Bingo!

I found some really cute chocolate & candy kisses graphics, so I decided to make a cute math center:

Valentine Counting Kisses

Here's another Cute Valentine Addition Kisses Activity:

Counting Kisses Mat

I love February!

Froggy Fun Printable Thematic Unit

Here are some pics of my new Frog Unit. 

It has lots of hands on learning activities

This is my Feed the Frog Game:

It's great hands on fun and focuses on counting 1-5.

Players each receive 20 flies.

Take turns turning over a card and "feed" the frog the correct amount of flies.
First player to feed the frog all of their flies wins!

Interactive Five Speckled Frogs Book

I love this book! Another cute way to reinforce numbers 1-5 and the concept of taking one away.

Frog Letter Sort

Reinforces recognition of uppercase/lowercase letters.  Place the frog on the matching lilly pad.

You can also use the frog cards for putting the letters of the alphabet in the correct order.

Or, put 6-8 letters in order in a row.  Remove 2 cards and have student find the missing letter.

Frog Life Cycle

This set contains a cute life cycle puzzle as well as sequencing cards.  I found the plastic life cycle frogs at Oriental Trading.

Clothespin Color Word Match

Fun way to reinforce color word recognition.

Ribbit! Ribbit! Math Story Problems

Great hands on way to learn addition and subtraction!

This set is also available ready made in my Ebay shop.

If I don't have one available - just email me and I will be happy to make one for you.

Enjoy!

Spring Is Here! Literacy and Math Centers Using Plastic Easter Eggs

I love Spring!

I have found that kids love plastic easter eggs, so I use them often during this time of the year.

I find most of my props at the dollar store and Oriental Trading.  Here are some of my favorite egg activities:

Beginning Sound Egg Sort

It's easy to make!  Get 26 plastic eggs and with a black sharpie marker write an uppercase/lowercase letter on each one.  If you like, you can put the lowercase on one part and the uppercase on the other and you have a nice letter recognition activity.  Next find an object that begins with each letter sound.

Here is what I use:

-->

A   apple

B   baseball

C   coin

D  dolphin

E easter egg

F fly

G ghost

H heart

I igloo

J jack o lantern

K kite

L ladybug

M marble

N nickel

O octopus

P pumpkin

Q quarter

R rat

S snake

T tooth

U umbrella

V vulture

W wagon

X xylophone

Y yoyo

Z zebra

I try to use as many actual objects as I can. Mini erasers and the plastic toys you find at the dollar shop work well or you can use clipart.  I found the container at the dollar store.  This is a fun activity.  Perfect for home or school.  Place the objects in a bowl and have your child put each object in the correct egg. Another fun activity is mixing the eggs up and putting them in alphabetical order.  Or lay eggs out in ABC order and randomly remove 8 of them.  Find the missing eggs and put in the correct spot.  

Five Little Eggs Interactive Book

Children love this book!  I found the large plastic egg at the dollar store and filled each one with a fuzzy chick.  As you read the book, student will find the correct color egg and "hatch" the chick!  This is always a hit!

Egg, Egg, What Will You Be?

This book is part of my Extraordinary Egg Unit.  Skills: science - what hatches from eggs?, days of the week, sequencing, color recognition, and more!  On each day, an egg hatches - what will it be?  Hands On Learning Fun!

What are your favorite egg activities?  I'd love to hear from you!
Enjoy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This activity is great for circle time.  Arrange children in a circle and give each child a clover card.
Sing the cute song, inserting a beginning sound letter.  When you stop, children turn over their cards and whoever has the matching beginning sound, shows their card.  You can also use as a table activity, matching uppercase to lowercase or the picture to the matching letter.
