Write pairs of rhyming words on cards. (Rhyming Kit)
Have your little learners stretch the slinky to connect the two rhyming words.
For example, for “cat” and “hat,” your students can stretch the slinky to connect the two words that rhyme. (For more about rhyming see “Rhyming Activities For Little Learners)
If you are looking for a way to organize all of those Sight Words/HFWs you teach, then this kit is for you!???? P.S. I have 2 different options: one option uses the terminology sight words and one option is totally editable, so you can use your own terminology; ie: heart words, flash words, etc. ???? Who wants to check out this organizational kit? ???? #kindergartenchaos#teachertok#teachertips
Have you started building sentences with your little learners?! Wait, no more! This MUST HAVE resource is an interactive way to practice building those sentences whole-group, small-group, independently or even in the writing station. First, use the pocket chart cards to model building a sentence. Next, have students practice building a sentence and reading it to their peers. And finally have little writers show what they know with the accompanying cut, build and write practice pages. Included are (2) different options for differentiation, as well as a color-coded option and black/white. Who needs this for their little writers? #kindergartenchaos#handsonlearning#kindergarten#kindergartenwriting#morningbins
