Week 2: Morning Bins

 

Last week, we just had the "toys."

This week, I added the cards.

I still can't find a link to these :( 

Was I supposed to use these??? No, and it messed 

up my whole schedule grrrrr

A bonus, though, I made cards!!

I will get them posted soon! 

They are definitely from Tara West, but I am unable to locate them :(

I 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.

Morning Work and Centers

 

How I do morning work:

Each child has their own labeled drawer.  Each drawer has a number on it (guess I need to find an updated photo). The number edge is color-coded. I drew the number and color on the sides.)

Hop back next week, and I will try to have an updated photo of the drawers, along with something new to share as well.  I have to test it out this week.

Sept/October Morning Bins

Pumpkin Patch Count

I added the dots next to the numerals 

for my students still needing that extra support :) 

Pumpkins

Apples

Spider web from Pocket of Preschool. 

Children cut out their names and glue on the web :)

Trace Letters

Math Board: Number of the Day

 I lost most of my wall space between my linear calendar and my smartboard screen. As part of our calendar routine, we do color of the day, shape of the day, name of the day, and letter of the day.   We also do number of the day.

In my Google Classroom, I have a Numberblock video and a Jack Hartman video for each number.

I use some NumberBlock figures that I display each day.  I also have a magnetic train car. I wait until I have all 11 train cars, then I add them to our centers.  I also have number transformers.

The blue dominoes and dice came from here. 

The different ways to make the number came from HERE.

The items in the middle are all from HERE.

The path of motion cards are from here.

I got the number blocks from here.

Pig from HERE.

Tally Marks from HERE.

The number two card came from the toys.

The towers came from HERE.

I made the frog 20 frames and added Velcro.

In the bag (which is just folded in half)

holds all the frogs.

I use real 10's and 1's cubes to attach to the printable.

Before and After from HERE.

They get a marker to do all of the work.

They add the dots to the dominoes and dice.

They trace number with their finger, then trace with a marker, 

then write on the board. 

They circle the number on the number line.

They add a frog.

They add a cube.

I write the number after they tell me.

They write the number before and after.

They also try to do the light lime green card.

It is a geo-board.  It's a real one, so it doesn't 

stay on the board :)

We compare the NumberBlocks to the real one I have.

Read about my letter board here.

Read about my color of the day board.

A Little Spot: Mix & Match

We use all the little Spots in our room.    

When I intro a new Spot, we use this activity 

to make what they look like.

We pick the color of the circle, their eyes and how their mouth looks.

Then we display them on the included stand.

Hop over to Amazon to check it out.

One thing that wasn't on there was my email address.
