Bringing School Back in Style

Hey friends! It's Keri from Enchanted Kinder Garden. I'm here for Win it Wednesday to bring you some back to school resources. I'm giving away one of my favorite back to school resources.




This resource includes three sets of cards. The kids will either match uppercase to uppercase, lowercase to lowercase, or uppercase to lowercase. They can use a dry erase marker to practice writing the letter on the card and use a clip, counter or some type of manipulative to show their chosen answer.

There is an optional recording sheet for each set of cards. Students will write the letter that they are working on. After they finish, you also have an optional QR code to check answers. Super easy! The kids will be engaged will you are working with your small groups.



Alpha Finders includes 52 letter mats. 26 are with the same letters (upper and lowercase). The other 26 has more than just the letter that they are looking for. This will help to differentiate for your students.  Allow them to either use counters or a dry erase marker to circle the letter that they are searching for. You can switch it up and tell them which letter to look for on the mats that have the same letters in each star. This is going to be one of my really quick getting started activities during guided reading. After they get the hang of it, I know they'll be able to quickly search for letters if given just one mat.

If you place this in a center, you can place more than one mat.



Kiddie ABC's involves matching lowercase letters to the uppercase letter. Students will match the boy to the girl. After matching all cards, there is an optional recording sheet. They will write the missing letter which can be either an uppercase or lowercase letter.

The optional QR code will take students to the answer key to check their work.




Puzzled Alphas is just that! PUZZLED. This game should be reproduced on colored paper or card stock and laminated. After you cut the puzzle apart, it will be a game that can be used OVER and over again.


Case of the Alphabets is a letter sorting game. You can place the uppercase and lowercase signs on a bucket or students can sort on the floor. They will sort the uppercase letters to the uppercase bucket and do the same for lowercase letters.




Match it uses the same cards from Case of the Alphabets. Students have a mat to sort their cards on. The recording sheets allows students to cut and glue letters into the correct column. The recording sheet has an option QR code to scan to check for correct answers.





Alpha-bear-tize has two sets of cards that are both available in b/w or in color. The two sets includes a missing letter before and the other set works on missing letters after. There are two recording sheets to match each set of cards. The student can use a dry erase marker to write in the missing letters. The recording sheet can be used to write either the uppercase, lowercase or both letters in the blank. There is an optional QR code to check answers.




Sticks and Curves is a game that I think is always so important at the beginning of the year. Students have a hard time realizing that everything isn't a curve. This game allows students to sort letter based upon their formation. There are three mats included: straight lines, curves, and straight lines & curves. You can print the letter cards on white or colored paper to fancy it up.


This is something that I will use during small groups at the beginning of the year.


Choose Me is the last of the bundle. It may be my favorite! This game includes 52 mats for identifying lowercase and uppercase letters. A dry erase marker can be used to circle the correct answers. You could also use counters to cover up the correct letters.



Two optional recording sheets are included. Uppercase letters can be colored, circled or daubed blue. All lowercase letters should be marked with red. An option QR code is included for students to check their answers.

All you have to do is fill out the rafflecopter to win! I'll choose a winner on Saturday. :-)

Math Centers Giveaway

Hi friends, it's Jessica from Mrs. Plemons' Kindergarten. Thanks for stopping by today to check out what I'm giving away for our weekly "Win It Wednesday."
If you are busy prepping for next year I have a great set of math centers to get your kids working on those number sense skills.  All 20 centers have themes that can be used year round so you don't have to switch them out every week! Here are a few pictures to give you an idea of what's included and how this set is organized.

First up there is a teacher info sheet and an "I Can" student sheet for every center.
Next up, the centers each have 2-3 differentiation options. These may be different sets of cards, game boards, dice, response sets etc.  I find this SUPER important so all kids in my class can get the most out of each center. Not every child is working at the same level, but with these centers you don't have to think about having separate centers for students above or below grade level.
 Lastly, there are math talk cards to help prompt students to talk about their learning, and rotation cards to post as a visual for your math block.

This pack features the following centers: 

• Mousey Memory Match (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.B.4, K.CC.B.5)
• Here Fishy Fishy (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.B.4, K.CC.B.5)
• Super Sticker Number Lines (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.3, K.CC.B.4, K.CC.B.5)
• Roaring Roll & Write (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.3)
• Sundae Sorting (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.3, K.CC.B.4, K.CC.B.5)
• Climb to the Top (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.B.4, K.CC.B.5)
• Race to Trace (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.3)
• Animal Actions (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.B.4, K.CC.B.5)
• Carnival Counting (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.3, K.CC.B.4, K.CC.B.5)
• Buzzing Before & After (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.2, K.CC.A.3)
• Picnic Puzzles (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.2, K.CC.A.3)
• Order Up! (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.3, K.CC.C.7)
• Monkey Mysteries (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.2, K.CC.A.3)
• Clever Comparisons (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.3, K.CC.C.6, K.CC.C.7)
• Surfing Sort & Compare (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.3, K.CC.C.7)
• Spiders Spin to Win (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.C.6, K.CC.C.7)
• Royal Numberland (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.B.4, K.CC.B.5)
• Dragon Dump (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.3, K.CC.B.4, K.CC.B.5)
• Ninja Number Toss (K.CC.A.1, K.CC.A.3, K.CC.C.7)

Stories and Comprehension for Early Readers

Hi friends, it's Alex from The Kindergarten Connection! Today is my first post here with iteach Kinder, and I am super excited to have a "Win it Wednesday" in store for you!

Here is a super quick "about me" so that you can get to know me a bit better! I am a Kindergarten teacher but I have also taught 1st, 2nd, and 1st-3rd multiage. I am a night owl (That's when I do my best thinking) coffee addict, and I could read books all day if that wouldn't be frowned upon!

Now - onto what you can WIN! 


Building fluency and comprehension in early readers takes time and practice. Exposure to sight words, spelling patterns and word families can help readers develop more confidence and gain fluency. Asking questions during and after reading can also help foster early comprehension.

Show and Tell passages for early readers contain short stories with either CVC words and sight words or CVCe words and sight words. They have a section for illustrating the story and also a question to help develop comprehension.


Depending on the level or needs of your students, you can have them write a response to the question, or you can orally ask the question and write their response as a quick assessment for you on their understanding or recall. 


The complete set of Show and Tell short stories and comprehension contains:
  • 20 CVC/sight word passages
  • 20 CVCe/and sight word passages

Kindergarten Common Core Exit Tickets for Math

Hi friends, it's Jessica from Mrs. Plemons' Kindergarten. Thanks for stopping by today to check out what I'm giving away for our weekly "Win It Wednesday."

If you are busy prepping for next year I have a great set of quick, easy to use exit tickets to help you assess and group students for math instruction.  If you've never used exit tickets or thought they were just for the older grades, don't worry these were made specifically for kindergarten so they only have a few questions on each one.  Here are a few pictures of some of the exit tickets that are included to give you an idea of how they work.
Each exit ticket has 4 options for differentiation. For this skill each ticket has fewer numbers filled in, making the task more difficult for the students.
 The directions are simple to explain to students and they can be done in about a minute or less.
These quick samples are so easy to check and use as a tool for assessing student understanding and guiding further instruction.
The whole bundle includes:
• 136 different exit tickets (with 4 of the same on each page for easy copying)
• Black and white print only to save on ink
• Common Core Standards listed on each ticket for quick reference/organization
• Exit tickets for all 22 Kindergarten Math Standards (Counting & Cardinality, Geometry, Operations & Algebraic Thinking, Measurement, and Numbers in Base Ten)

You can check the complete bundle out in my store here:

Kindergarten Task Cards

Hi there!  This is Katie from Resources by Mrs. Roltgen.  It’s Win-it Wednesday!  Hopefully you participated in our Teacher Appreciation Giveaway last week.  I have another fun giveaway for you today!

Have you used task cards in your kindergarten classroom?  I’m a stay-at-home mom now, but I loved using task cards when I taught kindergarten!  Today I’m going to show you some examples of task cards that I have used with kindergarteners, tell you some basic things that I love about task cards, and give you a chance to win my Task Card Bundle!





Task cards are great for kindergarten!  They are simple by design, having only one “task" per card.  Depending on how you use them, they can be a great way to get students up and moving.  They’re also extremely versatile and can be used in so many ways, including:

* Scoot-style games: Set the cards around the room (at student desks, on the floor in a circle, etc.) and have students move around the room with a recording sheet.  (Bonus:  Your students may get to use clip boards for their recording sheets!  What is it about kids and clip boards?  Mine always got so excited to use them!)
* Literacy and Math Centers – I liked to hole-punch my task cards and place them on a ring so they would stay in order and wouldn’t get lost.  I’ve also seen teachers put them into those cheap plastic photo albums that you can find almost anywhere!
* Fast-finishers – Have a task card basket with the so students can grab a set to complete if they have extra time.  You can place the cards on a ring and put the cards in a large Ziploc bag along with copies of the recording page.  
* Review games – There are so many possibilities with this!  My favorite quick game was to grab a set of task cards, divide my class into two lines, and hold up a card for the two students in front to answer.  Quick and easy!
* And so much more!




Task cards are convenient for teachers!  They're easy to prepare – simply print, cut, and laminate for durability.  They can be used over and over again in so many capacities.  When I taught, I always kept task cards in a basket by my guided reading table for quick review and practice, especially if I had a minute of time to fill! 




The bundle includes all five of my task card products.  There are task cards for phoneme blending, phoneme isolation, writing CVC words, addition 0-5, counting forward, and counting and cardinality.




If you use task cards in your classroom, feel free to leave a comment telling how they work for you!  If you’ve never used them, I would encourage you to give them a try!




I’m giving away a BUNDLE of the five task card products that I have in my store!  You can enter using the Rafflecopter.

$100 Teacher Appreciation Giveaway!


Give me a T! Give me an E! Give me an A! Give me a C! Give me an H! Give me an E! Give me an R! What’s that spell? TEACHER! Hooray! Hooray! Teacher Appreciation Week is almost here, and just when we all need it the most! Let’s face it, the end of the year can be exhausting as it’s often filled with extra activities, events, grading … and dare I mention the never ending testing?!? With all this on our plates, no wonder we sometimes start to feel overwhelmed and underappreciated. Here at iTeachKinder, we can relate because we’re in the same shoes as you. We know that Kindergarten teachers wear so many more hats than just their “teacher” hat, especially towards the end of the year. In fact, we wrote a silly poem about it to share with you. Here goes…


We hope our humor helped lighten your load and put a smile on your face. To show you even more appreciation, we want to continue celebrating by giving away $100 worth of gift cards to the places we love to shop at most. 

You can enter on the Rafflecopter below from April 26th to May 2nd. On Sunday, May 3rd we’ll announce and celebrate our four winners here on the blog and via email to kick off Teacher Appreciation Week!

As always, happy teaching!
