Hi friends! I wanted to show you all some little Christmas-y activities we have been working on this week so far. First up, we read one of my all time fave holiday books…Moosletoe! After reading the story, each kiddo wrote a story about what makes their holiday so “perfectly perfect”! I LOVE how these turned out! 
Everything about this writing melts my heart….especially the last sentence 🙂 
Next up, we summarized our weekly story by recalling the beginning, middle, and end with Mr. Rudolph himself. Although our story had NOTHING to do with Rudolph or even Christmas….this little activity got them SUPER excited to summarize their story this week. 
We are learning all about proper nouns this week, so I made this little craftivity to spruse things up a bit! 
This tree is one that I made for the kiddos to have as a visual. Under each ornament is an example of a proper noun for a person, place, or a thing. {Slate is our dog’s name}!! You can find these craftivities/activities above in my newest unit that I am pretty darn excited about {here}….or by clicking and of the pictures below 🙂 
The first 2 to comment will get this little unit sent their way. Be sure to leave your email address. See you soon 🙂

While I’m sitting at OT for little P, I thought I’d share a fine motor activity with y’all! 😬 I’ll be doing preschool with him at home next year (his daycare got torn up by a storm🌪) and fine motor + alphabet are two things we’ll be hitting all year. So, I wanted to incorporate as much of both into one activity as I could. 💪 These lacing cards are going to work his little fingers all while learning the alphabet and letter sounds. 🍎 These (+ several other fine motor mats) are available in my store! // Link below 💜💜 www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Alphabet-Activities-Lacing-Letter-Mats-Fine-Motor-Lacing-Card...
A few years ago I used this Friend-Diagram activity with my students to teach compare and contrast! I always love how they turn out! It’s FREE on the blog and I re-shared it in my Weekly Recap (several weeks ago) on the blog, too! Hope you can use it! Link here 👉 // smittenwithfirstblog.com/weekly-recap-3/
Sticky Tables was a class favorite years ago! It gets kiddos up and moving!! 🤩 It works with multiple subject areas/standards and can also be used for informal assessments! 👍 My last post showed how to use it with skip counting and here I show it used with subitizing/number sense, ABC order, and handwriting practice. See previous post for directions on how to play 💜💜
Re-sharing this skip counting number lines activity from years ago! 👉 Skip counting from any given number is such an important skill for our little ones - not just reciting 2,4,6,8,etc! Here's how we did it! Put sticky notes on the table, each student chooses one sticky note to start off with and then they just fill in the boxes using an expo marker on their desk! You could even use washi tape to create the number lines!
