    First up are these two sets of  Veteran's Day Magnifying Glass Centers that incorporates short vowel blends and CVC Words.  Students love using magnifying glasses and finding the teeny tiny words embedded in the pictures.  My Kinders have always loved these type of centers.  They are hands on and engaging.  

    Your class NEEDS this set of Veteran's Day / Military themed Short Vowel Blends magnifying glass literacy activities.






This set includes 6 pages with short vowel blends a,e,i,o, and u. Students look at each page with a magnifying glass to search for the 10 hidden words. Students then, write each word they see and read it 3 times. Students can then color the pictures. Your students will thank you for this great activity that can be used during literacy centers or as an independent activity.

This works perfectly during literacy center in my kindergarten class, but could also be used for first grade. The students LOVE using the magnifying glasses!

What Does the Fox Say?

Image
Who knows what the fox actually says? Maybe you can ask him while making this adorable fox craftivity!  I came up with the idea to create the best bulletin board collaboration!  I had to get rid of my winter bulletin boards because  I was sick of snow and cold and very ready for spring and warm weather.   With warmer weather and spring come baby animals, which includes one of my favorite animals... the fox!  Baby foxes are the cutest ever!   Since March is all about Reading, I mashed a bunch of idea together and came up with some pretty cool bulletin boards. First, I drew Fox in Socks!  Then I had my class create foxes and thought of two rhyming words to put on the fox! I also created a clothesline that is hanging pairs of rhyming socks!  Result = the best bulletin board ever! My kids love this craft year after year! This year I created a different bulletin board!  I have also been moved to 3rd grade and have adapted these foxes

Safari / Jungle Theme

This year I will be using a Jungle/Safari theme in my classroom!  I cannot wait!  Last year, I was a maternity leave replacement in Kindergarten and did a rainforest theme!  The room came out extremely cute!  I cant wait to even make it better this year, since this will be my own classroom! Che ck out my other post on a J ungle theme classro om HERE . Last year in my rainforest classroom, I had some really great touches which added character to the room!  I really went over the top and the parents and students loved it!  My welcome board The Jungle / Safari bodies can now be found  HERE due to popular demand. I found the large safari hat at AC Moore.  It is made of foam and is easy to staple up. The tree was made from a large carpet tube and brown paper bags.  I went to Home Depot and asked if they had any carpet tubes.  They are usually glad to give you any they have! Then i just slid the brown paper bags over it one by one in an overlapping pattern.  My Job
