Do you use a pocket chart in your classroom? Kindergarten kiddos love the pocket chart center! You can do so much with a pocket chart.  A pocket chart gives the students that hands-on approach while they are still learning. They get to get up, move around, and still practice all of those skills that their little minds are expected to learn. You can change the activities in the pocket chart center every week throughout the school year. This will keep the kiddos familiar with the routine, but still learning new skills. Here are a few of the pocket chart activities that I used in kindergarten. Click each link to get the center in my TPT store. I hope you find something for you classroom or at home learning.

Poems are the perfect way to teach fluency, concepts of print, and even SIGHT WORDS! I use poetry throughout the year in kindergarten. We have a poetry notebook, and we add to it each week. The poems that I have created are perfect for new readers. They are simple, predictable, and full of sight words. You can pair them up with your sight word of the week, or use them as a review of sight words that you have already taught. I have the kiddos highlight the sight words. These poems make a perfect independent reading resource for book boxes. Here are a few poems from my spring poem set.

Do your kids love learning about insects? Insects are fascinating for young learners. I am always amazed at how much kiddos already know about insects when we begin this unit. I usually divide my insect studies into sections. We usually learn about one insect a day. Here are a few activities that we complete!

 I usually begin my daily insect activities with a slide using my projector. These insect slides are included in my insect unit!
