Nocturnal Animals

New unit calls for new pointers:
either from Dollar Tree or Bullseye's Playground

I have two bookshelves, one in my loft and one on my main level. I have nocturnal books along with books on shapes as part of our calendar.


 As I do with most units, I read a letter.





Grab some word cards here.


Using all the stars mini erasers.
Printables from HERE.








Cover the letter with more star mini erasers


I added blue markers and some spiders because I can't find my bats lol







Here is what's going on in our science center:
printables here.


In one lesson we talk about the cards:


We did this as a transition activity and then
it goes into the science center.


In another lesson, we labeled a bat.
We use that blue sticky tac.





We sorted these cards on diurnal/ nocturnal animals like this:


we did it as a science lesson and then into the science center.



After we talk about them, they go into our science center.

In one of our sensory bins, we made Shape Stew from here.



I couldn't find any nocturnal animals for the block center, 
so I printed these from HERE.


In our fine motor journals, we made spiders one day.



The following day we made spider webs:
I draw mine first and then the children trace mine.
It was also octagon day too lol





This is our writing center



Night Stew from HERE



Here are our morning bins:

We are reviewing shapes and working on fine motor with the clothespins.




The following cards are from here.




We used this spider web from HERE.
Kids write their names, one letter on each square.


One must put the whipped cream on top of my pumpkin pie from HERE.


Here we are adding play dough for the feathers.


We are tracing letters form to build muscle memory to form letters.


These are colorful head-scratchers.
I think I used Model Magic for the pot part.
I added the number cube for added fun.
Roll the number cube and place that many beads on the wires.

Morning Work Bins

 Morning work bins:




They trace the lines and then write in the picture frame.  
On the back, they draw themselves.
 I pop it into a binder/folder and into our classbooks bin!




Next up are pattern cards from Pocket of Preschool.
These are mini erasers and some cards have pumpkin seeds too.
I used these pumpkin seeds. I bought the 3-pound bag.
I added tongs if they want to use them.
Works fine motor :)


These are from Mrs. Wills' kindergarten.
Just pop your email at the bottom and 
*BOOM* sent to you for FREE


Here are the Target trays that I didn't buy the first time, 
and I am so glad that they came out again!

I used 4 different sets of erasers.

Here are 3 different gameboards from POP.
Here they counted the number of seeds.
They could cover with the card or pumpkin erasers.


Here were dice pumpkin gameboard.


Regular numeral card match.
