Do you teach number words in your classroom? Number words are one of those skills that most kindergarten or first grade teachers teach at some point in the school year. We learn to read them, write them, and spell them. I love to use poetry in my classroom, and I decided to create some poems that focus on number words. We will use this number word poetry notebook during our study of number words. I will print and bind the poetry notebooks, and then we will pull them out each day to learn a new number word. Each poem focuses on a different number word (1-10). Students can read the poem, highlight the number words, color the pictures, and then store them in their book boxes for a future familiar reading resource. If you would like to use these poems in your classroom, grab this set in my TPT shop. It is a digital download, which makes it easy to print and use! I hope your kiddos love the poems.

Are color words part of your kindergarten curriculum? We teach color words in kindergarten here in Missouri! Students learn how to read them, write them, and use them in their daily activities. I created this color words pocket chart activity to help reinforce color words with kinders. Kindergarten students love using pocket charts, so this was an activity that I knew would keep them engaged.

The activity is simple to prep, and easy for young learners to complete independently! Students build each color word in a pocket chart while matching it to the correct color paint bucket. They then complete one of the independent practice printables, which has them cut and glue color words together. Simple as that! 

I always print my pocket chart materials on tagboard, which ensures they are durable enough for little hands!

     Are you teaching your kiddos about bats this fall? Bats are always a favorite theme in kindergarten. I usually teach about bats and spiders during the month of October when the kiddos are thinking about Halloween and all things fall. Here are a few of the activities that my kiddos complete while we are learning about bats. These activities are FREE in my TPT shop if you would like to use them in your own classroom.
