October Morning Work

I have this product.  I chose some for each month.

In my assessment binder, I have all of my monthly sheets:

reading homework, monthly portrait, and scissors skills.

 

We used this spider web from HERE.

Kids write their names, one letter on each square.

I write in yellow if they can't write it themselves.

Someone made a polar bear one and I loved it so much,

Paper from Winter Activities from Pocket of Preschool

you could add a dice and have them add that many beads 

to the pipe cleaner.

 Stacking puzzles from Target

Pumpkin patterns

I used real pumpkin seeds, 

pumpkins and candy corn mini erasers.

End of the month scissor skills. Found HERE.

Halloween Counting Mats

When I use these counting mats 

(which come in a TON of themes!!)

I put dots by the numbers to help

 children who need help. :) 

We are loving the spiders!

It is still early in the year, so I put little dots so they 

can count them to add that many spiders.

Morning Bins

 

Puzzles from Tara West.

I punched them at the top and for storage on a ring.

I put different puzzles in each container.

Containers from Naeir see the haul here.

Monthly cutting sheets

Target felt lacers

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.

There is NO name on these!

I can't find it anywhere. :(

January Winter Morning Work

 Wiki Sticks

I didn't want to reinvent the wheel, 

so I brought out these shape cards,

but I only had two sets and I need three.

So I went to find the shape Arctic cards.

Grab this AMAZING mat for easy storage plus it's free!!!

Next up we have these counting cards with mini erasers.

Next up we have our monthly portrait and scissor skills.

They get a highlighter and a box of Color Me World crayons.

When they drew themselves and highlighted the lines,

they turned the drawing in and I gave them the scissors so there was 

no chance that they would cut the self-portraits.

 During our nursery rhymes unit, we also celebrated a birthday. 

So we drew rectangles and added a flame.

make on our cakes to decorate them :)

I ask if they want a
