The inportance of teaching Life Cycles and a freebie!

Not only are life cycles fascinating but they have a way of showing small children the growth that occurs in nature. Most of my 4 year olds are fascinated by the idea that frogs, butterflies and the like were born from eggs and not like humans. I like to use anchor charts, teacher books, craftivities and read the room activities to help the children understand the sequence of a life cycle and have a chance to go over more facts about the subject being studied. Since anchor charts are my favorite way to teach life cycles I have decided to give away my Butterly life cycle anchor chart for free. It is listed in both my TpT and TN stores. You will find links under the pictures. This weekend I was able to list my Frog life cycle unit and my Butterfly life cycle unit I hope you will take a chance to check them both out. And soon to come is my ladybug life cycle unit, plant life cycle unit and chicken life cycle unit. Be on the lookout for those later this week.

Sight word freebie, ideas and more Dyslexia Worksheets!

Hello All, Today we had so much fun with our sight word from my freebie Snowflake Slap . First I laid out all of the snowflakes on the carpet. If the child could read me the word they could keep the card and crumple it into a snowball. Once all of the words were read and squished I told the class we could have a snowball fight! It was such great fun that we took our "snowballs" into another kinder classroom and attacked them. As the kids threw the sight word snowballs we made more snowballs and threw them into the crowd from leftover paper. It was great fun! Once we settled back into our classroom we placed all of the snowballs into a bucket and each child pulled a word. If they could read it they recorded it on the left side of the worksheet below, if they couldn't read the word they recorded it on the right. The ones most did not know were pretty consistent so I know which ones we need the most work on. So hop on over the TpT to grab your free copy of Snowflake Slap an

The Story of Creation Flip Book Freebie!

As many of you already know I am a Christian school teacher in a small private school. I have decided to start making my Bible craftivities into files for others to access for their own Christian classrooms or homeschools. I have just finished putting together my first file for a Creation Flip Book and it is listed for free on TpT. The file includes full picture instructions as well as an option for color or black and white. Throughout this year I plan to list each Bible story craftrivity I do in my classroom and then bundle them at the end of the year. I am also working on a God's Journal, similar to the poetry and math journals you see so often in classrooms theses days but this one will celebrate our faith. I would appreciate your feedback after downloading the file and sharing this with other believers. Please take a minute to follow me here on my blog and hop on over to TpT to get your free flip book file. While you are there please check out my other items and follow my store
