Lovin' the Kindergarten Chaos in the Classroom

I have included a large, standard font for each upper and lowercase letter. Each page also includes the beginning sound picture, which is also imperative for mastering letter names and sounds.
I included 2 different versions for the letters g and s. The reason for this is that it is recommended that students have beginning sound picture that don’t have a blend, so they can hear the beginning sound more clearly.
G= grapes or girl
S = star or sun
“Amazing resource! Perfect for kindergarten!” – Valerie
“I love this! I wish it could be made smaller on half pages so that all of my students can use it during reading groups!” – Tamera
“I just read how important this way of practice is for Pre-A readers, and now you’ve provided it. Thank you!” – Jo Marie
“I am looking forward to using this with my PreA readers!” – Justine
According to research, having students use their finger to trace letters (without writing materials) is imperative for building muscle memory trace for each letter. This helps students to make the proper formation, which will then translate into their actual writing (with writing tools) of each letter. (Read Jan Richardson’s book, The Next Step Forward in Guided Reading for more information on this concept.)

YES!D E P E R S O N A L I Z E // Let’s chat about inappropriate behavior for a sec. Depersonalizing is an EMPOWERING way to work thru behavior for both you and the student.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s imagine a child has misbehaved in your class. When this happens, it’s a natural response to take this personally and assume the child is being defiant on purpose. This often leads us (the teacher) to respond emotionally with the intent to exert our control and/or punish the child.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Taking behavior personally and being punishment-minded intensifies the situation by immediately propelling us into a power-struggle. It also damages the relationship we have built and rarely results in a learning opportunity for the student.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s flip that reaction to something that doesn’t usually come quite as naturally to us. When we assume kids need PRACTICE, not PUNISHMENT, it reminds us to focus on what we can control in the situation - ourselves. We can’t force anyone to do anything, but we CAN make it safe for the child to learn and grow by reteaching and modeling the expectations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s commit this year to depersonalizing misbehavior and looking at it as an opportunity to reteach and model our expectations so all students can experience success. Who’s with me? 🙋🏼♀️
