Morning Work

 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 Work: October

 

Play dough cards from Tara West.

It's part of this BUNDLE

Family Counters and their houses

We are working on our tearing fine motor skills.

They can choose their own colors.

They need about half a sheet of construction 9x12 paper.

These are a staple for morning bins.

Just grab the bundle, you won't regret it!

Here are these though.

What it looks like when changing out morning bins.

An old box that holds most things we need.

The family counters and their homes don't stay in the box

 because I use them at other times.

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.

September Morning Work

 

Grab these fun bears here.

Target puzzles

Target blocks

🐸Here are some of the centers we are doing at the beginning of the year🐸

 🐸Here are some of the centers we are doing at the beginning of the year🐸

I picked things that would require little cleanup.

We were so busy, that we didn't

even use any during the first week of school.

During the first week of school, 

I use Jackie of Pocket of Preschool's

First Ten Days of school's plan.

I turn them into the first 11 because it 

covers the first few weeks of school.

We learn how to play in the pretend area 

after we read Pip Pretends.

We read Pip Builds and head to the block area.

Pip in the library and head to our library loft.

We try to get Pip certified for each area.

Since it is the beginning of the year,

it is more guided and the kids stay in one area for a time.

We play, I mean work in that area all together.

I split the class into half;

half went to blocks, and the other half went to the loft.

We play and then switch.

No time for our cube shelves.

I usually have small groups during this time.

It works out perfectly!

It was the end of the third week before we even used the cube shelves.

I added things that are big for easy pick-up.

After small groups and morning bins,

those items go into those shelves.
