Hand Writing Cards

My kids have been working hard on correct letter formation so I decided to make them some handwriting cards to help them practise this skill. I also wanted to introduce them to the concept of writing in red and blue lines as well as the concept of letters having a head, body or tail. I chose words that my kids use a lot in their writing - words that they are always asking me how to spell. I have the words on one side with the picture in a bubble font so they are able to trace over it, then on the reverse side, I have just the blank lines so they are able to have a go at it on their own. So far the kids are loving this activity and they are doing a great job with their letter formation and writing in the lines!

Mickey Mouse Basic Addition

Image
My kids are MAD about Disney at the moment. They have been painting all of the Disney characters and love the Disney music that I play in the room. My preps are starting to become much more confident when adding numbers together up to 10 but I wanted to push them a little bit more to see how they would go to 20. To keep with their Disney madness, I made this game up using their beloved Mickey Mouse ears. The head piece has a numeral on it and there are separate ear pieces which have white dots on it. Their job is to place Mickey's ears on the head with the correct number of dots. Hopefully they will really enjoy this activity. Click here to open

Number Pattern Cards to 100

Image
I made up a heap of laminated number pattern cards for my year 1s to practice counting forwards and backwards in 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s to and from 100. So far they have been a really popular activity in my classroom and some of my preppies are even beginning to have a go at some of them. The kids really enjoy the coloured cards and laminating them allows the kids to reuse them over and over. They are actually becoming much faster at filling them in - we even have races to see who can fill in the most cards in 2 minutes. Click here to go to my TPT Store

Alphabet Color by Letter

Image
These color by letter sheets are always popular in my classroom... I have them readily available as fast finisher activities and I offer them during "center" time. My kids love to color them in at the drawing table and since we don't do homework (we just do home reading and sight words), some of my keen students like taking them home to do while their older siblings do their homework.
