Alphabet Link Up

Happy Saturday friends! Since the fabulous Abby is having her Alpha-BOOM week, we thought we'd link up and share a new idea for introducing the alphabet to your kiddos! Since Erin is now going to be teaching kindergarten, this will be the first thing she does in her new classroom. We've spent the last few weeks creating our biggest product yet, our new ABC Bootcamp pack! It's 200 pages full of activities and resources to help you introduce the letters to your students, in the first 26 days of school.
Just click the pics below or go {HERE} to check it out!

Here's a little preview of what's inside!
We've also added a little freebie of a few items that can be found in our ABC Bootcamp pack.
If you'd like to check out our Bootcamp freebie, stop by {HERE} to download!


We are currently LOVING Show and Tell Aprons!  If you're not sure what they are just look on Pinterest or Google.  Since we'll be using them in our classrooms next year, we're creating card sets that can easily fit the aprons.  If you don't have an apron, these can easily work with pocket charts too, or can be used at a table for a center activity! 

Here's our first set!
 You can check out our Alphabet Show and Tell Apron Cards {HERE}
And here's our numbers 1-20 set!  You can go {HERE} to check it out!



Another new item added to our store is our
 Read the Rainbow Sight Word Pack.  
This is a unit to help teach and master the first 220 sight words based on the Dolch Word List. Each list has a color, and as the students master reading their list, they move through the colors of the rainbow. This is set up so that you can easily make this work for you!  We created it in March, and used it toward the end of last school year.  
Our kids just loved it! 
Look for a post in September about how we incorporate this into our reading instruction.

Just click the title or picture below to check it out!

Here's a freebie to use with our Rainbow Sight Words pack.  This sheet could be used for kiddos to track the list that they are currently on.  You could use this sheet several ways.  One idea would be to  place a sticker on the number of the corresponding list that they've mastered.
Read the Rainbow Freebie can be found {HERE}!

And since we're on the topic of Dolch words, below is a preview of some new Dolch sight word worksheet sets that we've recently added to our store.  These worksheets incorporate the first 220 Dolch sight words.  We use these during our morning literacy centers and our kiddos an easily complete them independently.
You can find these {HERE}
You can also click below for separate links:
Two more sets are in the works and we'll be adding them to our store soon!  

We're updating our numbers, colors, and shapes posters in our classrooms so we added our new designs to our store!  They are full size, but can easily be printed 2 or even 4 to a sheet if you want to make them into flash cards.  On a mac when you select print, just go to layout and change how many pages per sheet.

Here's a little preview of what's inside!


We've also created a few worksheets for 
number, shape, and color recognition.

Alphabet Freebie

Well, we've finally gotten into the swing of things and have ventured back into our classrooms. We don't officially go back until Monday, but we just had to get started on our rooms. They are coming along, and we are looking forward to sharing pics with ya'll next week. But for now... One (of the MANY) major changes to our curriculum this year is in handwriting. For the past 10 years that we've been in the building, we have taught with D'Nealian handwriting. But now it's time for a change. Our building has gone to Handwriting Without Tears, school-wide. We've heard good things, so our fingers are crossed! We know that just about everyone out there has their own alphabet, but we haven't found one that is really perfect for us. So of course, we had to create our own. We included both long and short vowel sounds, as well as digraphs. We may add to it as the year goes on, adding some other vowel sounds, but we'll see. This is as close as we could come to fitting with our new handwriting program. We both have several alphabets up in our room, so although we are keeping up one D'Nealian, we are replacing our others. But, the best thing is... it's FREE!!! So, click on the picture below and grab yourself a copy!


Here's a preview of our alphabet.

Everyone have a great weekend! We will be busy working on getting things ready to go back to school.

All About the Alphabet Freebie!


As we start to think about thinking (not ready to say we're thinking yet, we still have another month!) about heading back to school, we've been thinking about how to review some kinder skills with our little first graders fresh out of kindergarten. Word work in the beginning of the year will look way different than it did at the end of the year of course, so we need to freshen up our activities. We've created a little "All About the Alphabet" pack over at TpT that we'd love for you to take a look at. There are some great Alphabet posters for your classroom, some fun matching games, and games to help reinforce sounds. So head on over and take a look! Here's a little preview of what you'll see!


As a little bonus we've also created a few alphabet worksheets to go along with this pack and we'd like to share them with you all! So click below to download your copy! Have a great Thursday!
