Letter Board and More

 I lost most of my wall space that I used for our letter of the day when I got my smartboard.



On the front of our easel:


On the back:
environmental print cards these are the closest that I can find to these. 
I give clues about the cards and then place them in the chart.
During centers, the children can read the cards.







We start with color of the day
The sideways sheet- is the color songs that hang on a stikki clips.

shape poems here.


I put two kids letters together on the lower left 








This is hit or miss for me. I have done it maybe once or twice in recent years.

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!

 We brainstormed all the things we knew about spring. 

The snails at the bottom were from our fine motor journals.




playdough mats

Letter find and trace.*


Flower Chains*

Sorting color letters and shapes


As part of our letter of the day.


On the front of our easel:


On the back:
These environmental print cards are the closest that I can find to mine. 
I give clues about the cards and then place them in the chart.
During centers, the children can read the cards.


Here is the colors science unit. 



This puzzle is from Target.


I had to copy the puzzle- it was a little difficult to put the colors together.



These cards are for our scavenger hunt.


The scavenger hunt success!


We planed this game in small groups.*


Over at Play To Learn, Jamie used duck tape.
I only have blue tape but I really wanted to use the
bottles right away.  I started this project this summer lol
So I just cut strips from colored paper and used clear
packing tape to the outside.

They loved it. 
I dumped a bag of random pom poms in
then they told me I needed more color bottles lol


I added a white, brown, and black ones later.








Most of the printables from here.
