Valentine's Day Cards to Color for Kindergarten

Hello Friends! Valentine's Day is just a few short weeks away! During the month of February, I love to put these Valentine's Day Cards in my writing center for students to color and write in. There are 22 different cards, so they can pick and choose which cards they want to use. Students can give these cards to friends or family, whichever they choose. 💌

These cards are simple to prep. I print the cards and then show the students how to fold along the middle line to create the card. Some of the cards have lines printed on the inside for my students who are ready to write.

The cards are all animal themed, because Kindergarten students love animals! If you want to use these cards in your classroom, they are available as a digital download and part of my Dollar Deals. These cards are simple to purchase and then print as many or few as you need.

CVC Word Family Snowman Craft for Kindergarten or First Grade

By Crystal McGinnis 2:53 PM

Hey Friends! Can you believe that the Christmas holiday is over, and we are beginning to think about lessons and activities for January? Snow, Winter, Arctic Animals, and More.....Those are just some of the topics that I love to teach in January!

Speaking of snow, while on Christmas break I created this CVC Snowman craft to have ready for our winter literacy centers. This craft is simple to prep for the classroom and includes 20 different word families for students to practice.

These CVC Word Family snowmen can be printed on construction paper, or you can print them on black and white and let your students color the craft.

Students cut out the snowman pieces and build the snowman. They then read the CVC Word Family Words. You can also let your students each build a different snowman, display them, and then let your students read all of the word family words.

If you want to grab this Snowman Word Family Craft for your classroom, check it out here! It is available for purchase and then a digital download so you can use it instantly. 😊

Alphabet Poems with Animal Craft Toppers

By Crystal McGinnis 4:45 AM

If you're a fan of my Alphabet Poems, you will LOVE the latest addition that features an animal craft topper for your students to personalize! With each Alphabet Poem, students can create a corresponding animal-themed craft. These crafts make an ideal culmination to the week's activities, serving as a creative reward for daily practice of the poem.

The crafts are simple to create! Students color the animal, cut the animal out, and glue the animal to the top of the poem. Students can then find the alphabet letter that you are studying in the poem and highlight it.

These Alphabet Poem Crafts come in two sizes and would make a perfect alphabet display in your classroom!

Animal Writing Books

By Crystal McGinnis 5:55 AM

Do your kids love learning about animals? If so, your students may love my animal writing books! These books are simple to use with very little prep for you.

Begin by selecting an animal for your students to write about by choosing from one of the 40 animal covers that I have created. Next, add blank writing pages to the book. You can pick as many pages as you would like to your books depending on the writing abilities of your students. Finally, bind the books and you are ready!

You can also create a class book with these templates. Each student can complete one page of the book and then you can bind them all together. These books can be put in your classroom library!

This resource includes 40 animals, which should make it easy to find an animal your students will love. I have also created the set in color or black and white, so your kids can color the book cover.

If you want to use these animal writing books in your classroom, they are available as a digital download. Simply make your purchase, and then download and print! Grab them here!
