Kindergarten Poem

This is a really great Kindergarten poem. It can be used for any number of projects at the end of the year including a memory book, hand print art or poem book using the alphabet.
Enjoy!

This is so awesome! I found it on Pinterest of course! It is a great visual for K-1. The kids would want to make sure his "hair" doesn't get messed up! Enjoy!

Life Cycles

Every year we did a unit on the life cycle of Monarch butterflies. We read books on life cycles and how the Monarchs migrated like birds every year. I ordered the catepillars and we had a butterfly house. We released them after about 2 weeks. I ordered them around Easter so that it would be warm enough to release them in May. This is a great sequencing and hands-on learning activity to go along with the unit. Enjoy!

Center Activities

Magnetic craft sticks for counting or sequencing color patterns.

Paint strips with clothespins. Great for matching.

Sequencing cards - just cut, laminate and add velcro.
