Teen numbers can be very tricky for Kindergarten students. We can practice, practice, and practice some more, but there seems to always be a handful of students who just can't seem to master teen numbers. I created this set of math tubs to help Kindergarten students tackle this tough skill. This set of ten, hands-on morning math tubs/centers are very easy to implement, and only use a few manipulatives that most kindergarten classrooms have. Check them out below.

Ten Frame Cards-Students use counters to create sets of given teen numbers. This is great practice for one-to-one counting, and teen number recognition.

Do your kids love this book as much as mine do? It is an absolute favorite of mine to read during the month of October, especially close to Halloween. Not only is it an engaging book for kinders, but it is also a great book for teaching sequencing. I created this set of sequencing activities to go along with the book. You can do so much with this book, but here are a few of my activities.

 I created his emergent reader that sequences what the little old lady saw in the forest. I used very simple text, because that is all that kinders are ready for at this point in the school year. We will read this book together, color the book to match the actual text, and then use the book to complete the next activity.

After students read and color the emergent reader to match the book, the students will complete this sequencing mat which matches the book. Students will glue the pictures in the order that they are in, in the book and in the emergent reader.

It is October, and Kinders are finally starting to develop a few foundational reading skills. They are not experts YET, but they are beginning to show some progress. Sadly, I find it very difficult to find text that is simple, predictable, and easy to follow for kindergarten students. Let's face it, it needs to be pretty basic for these Kiddos, or they are going to be overwhelmed. Because of this struggle, I started creating these sets of monthly predictable sentences to use to expose my kinders to consistent, yet achievable reading practice. We use these simple sentences to practice tracking print (love those tracking dots), directionality, one to one correspondence (word jumping), sight words, context clues, and more. The kids love that they can read them after we practice together, and they are even more thrilled to take them home and read to their parents. 

You can use the simple sentences whole group using the projector, or during your small guided reading groups that you may have started. 

You can let your kids highlight the sight words that you may be learning.

You can place them in your students' book boxes for them to use as FAMILIAR reading!

One of the math standards for Kindergarten is describing measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. (Measurement) Kinders seem to always enjoy our unit on measurement, because it is hands-on, which keeps them engaged. Engaged students = happy teacher! I created this set of measurement centers for Kindergarten. They are all hands-on, and simple to implement! 

Students will measure various objects using pennies. Everyone has pennies right?

Students measure objects using a ruler (to the nearest inch for young learners)

Students measure "real" classroom objects using linking cubes.

I hope your kids love measuring as much as mine do. Click HERE to get my measurement centers in my TPT store. Thanks for reading!

My kids love the pocket chart center. Do yours?

I created this set of simple, predictable Fall sentences for my kinders to put together in our pocket chart during the month of October. It is very simple. I provide the kiddos with a printable that guides them through the sentences. They simply place the words in order, creating predictable sentences. This is perfect for practicing tracking, one to one correspondence, spacing between words, sight words, and more. This set comes with 10 different sets of predictable sentences. Check them out here!
