September Morning Bins Week 5


Just grab the bundle; you won't regret it!
Here are these, though.


Puzzles from Tara West.

I punched them at the top and stored them on a ring.
I put different puzzles in each container.

Containers from Naeir; see the haul here.




I just dumped mini erasers on my color copy machine.
Children match the mini erasers to the sheet.
That's just a paper in a plain sheet protector.
Not cardstock or laminated.

Centers and morning work



Centers puzzles


 think they are from Carson Dellosa about a million years ago.

I have these frogs!
I bought them years and years ago.
There are three sizes of frogs.
Many colors and logs that the small frogs can sit on.
There are cards, too, so the kids can follow the patterns
They start in morning bins and move to centers.

Morning Work

Felt Lacers from Target.




 
Mini shape erasers that I added to the color copier.
The students will match the mini-eraser to the page.

It's on regular copy paper and inside a plain sheet protector,
and not those plastic dry-erase sleeves.

Beginning of the year centers

 I do a gradual release of our centers. Most of them start in our morning bins, which is free explore then continues with adding "something".  


Hop over here to check out our morning bins.

See the play dough sign in the white bin?

That is the same bin that I use to 

collect the play dough at my open house!


I used mini erasers in a bucket from Dollar Tree 
The cards came from here.


These are those large puzzle blocks from Target.
I don't add anything to these (yet)


After we have a small group to get Pip certified
we can explore at centers time.
Grab  mats  here.




t-shirts from here.
This is another small group.
We roll the number cubes and add that many chips
to the shirts. Check out her post here for the shirts.


They are 50% off now!!! This is a better deal!!


Target puzzles from our morning bins.


Counting bears 
with sorting cups and a color dice


large buttons- I just let them explore.
You could have them sort by color or shape though!


These centers last about two weeks of school.

Spring has Sprung!

 Well not so much here... we just has sn*w the other day lol


I rely heavily on my public library.

I reserve books about every other week.

This was waiting for me on the last day of my spring break!


We added this to our calendar time.

This is a tri-fold board. I have literally no wall space to use.

The letter of the day sign, the letter find underneath, the Hh and road h,

Each day we get a letter in our mailbox.

The kids get to open the letters.


Detailed post coming ASAP!!


I used smelly markers to make our rainbow.
Children will sort letters and foam shapes according to color.


Build the number*


Number count*
lay out the cards and add that many chain links at the bottom


The children will find and trace the letter in that color.
There is a missing sheet.*






Color puzzles


I made a color copy of the puzzle below- it is a little tricky!

March Morning Work Week 2

 Trace, trace, (write) and erase here $

I like when things rhyme lol so we leave out the write part lol
We chant "trace, trace, and erase"


I have searched, unsuccessfully for what these looked like when I bought them from Target, 
but alas, no luck finding them  :(

They will take the "floam" and roll it into snakes to form letters, numbers, or shapes.


These "puzzles" are from Bright Blocks.



I sent for the free puzzles and they sent in these :)

I got these on clearance at Target
I just wanted to let them play with them since they are new,
but I plan to add them to my February morning work bins.
