We got a head start on our November packet this week because we are headed to the Grand Canyon!
Here are a few printables in action…
Roll a dice and trace a shape! So fun!!
This little Moffatt Girl was excited to see which shape would reach it to the top first!
Learning is at its BEST when it becomes a GAME!
As you can see, we probably need some practice with our circle, which look a bit like ovals ;)
SPINNERS!
Make a paperclip spinner and spin a number.
Color the ten frame by the color code that matches the turkey!
I was wondering if she was ready for a spinner…
YES…she was!!! She wanted to "play" this game again and again!
This was perfect for practice with quickly recognizing ten frames.
If the number was greater than five, she had to count and find the correct ten frame.
SO EFFECTIVE for her!
Roll a die and color the turkey!
I LOVE this because it helps kids to see a number on a die and automatically recognize it.
Perfect number sense "game" and coloring practice for fine motor skills!
Turkeys Count to TEN!
I found a use for all those little stickers I have! We used them on our Ten Frame page and it was a HUGE hit! This made this simple printable HIGHLY effective, more engaging and helped master this concept!
Roll a die and count a ten frame!
Again, I love that this game can help with automatically "seeing" the number on the ten frame. Obviously she had to count numbers beyond 5, but she us getting better and better at this!
Learning becomes a GAME!
I pulled out our markers (washable of course) and let her use those to write the number.
I find that using a variety of materials really helps maintain high interest!
What Comes Next?
Working with the cut and paste number turkeys was fun!
Since the second line didn't go in number order from the first, this activity really made her stop and thing about counting on from any given number.
So focused…so engaged!
Count and Graph PUMPKINS!
We used dot markers instead of crayons and it made it SO much fun!!
For our Color by Sight Word Page, we used paints!
I am pretty sure she thought we were doing an art project!
She worked on sight word recognition and building a simple sentence with this page.
Using the watercolor paints made her really focus on doing her BEST work! She wanted to paint it perfectly so she paid careful attention to each sight word!
Cutting out the words, unscrambling and building a sentence!
Turkey Addition to 5!
We used those cute little turkeys at the top to help add!
I wanted to make it even more concrete and hands-on, so I used some bug math manipulatives!
Another Color by Sight Word page with watercolor pencils!
I am not sure if she would have done as nice of a job if we just used crayons!
LOVE it!!
Building the sentence...
Writing the sentence…
This was a simple introduction for counting by 5's and tracing the numbers...
We used our markers with this FUN page!
Roll a die, trace a repetitive sentence with sight word and a CVC word that you rolled!
As you can see, she rolled a 2 in the first sentence and traced:
Look for the _____. She filled in the blank with hen.
For the second sentence, she rolled a 4 and will write:
Look for the bed.
She was pretty proud of herself!
