Community Helpers

Well…..I guess I am not the best at teaching and keeping up with blogging!  I just get so distracted looking at all the other fabulous blogs and ideas that I don’t get back to posting my stuff!  Plus we have been dealing with an empty  rental house that needed remodeling, a new school to get accustomed too, and so much more craziness. Hopefully I can start doing a little better…now that things are calming down…I think! 

     We have been very busy in the world of kindergarten!  Here are a few things we have been doing:

Community Helpers:

We learned all about the world of community helpers!  Because we must INTEGRATE everything to get it all in we created several math books!

·       The first one is pretty simple…its titled Fire Numbers.  They start by writing the number one and the word one. They draw one tally mark and then they put Fire house on the first page…then they do the same for pages 1-10, a different pic for each number.  They love it and we discuss why the fire fighters need each tool. We talk about fire fighters practicing on the page with the brick on fire

o   Click here for the word document…you have to print how many you need for each page one at a time!

·       FireTruck Numbers:  In this activity kids just cut out and put fire trucks in order 1-15. My kids love to put them on sentence strips and then wear them as hats!

Doctor Match: In this game the kids have to match the correct Doctor bag to the correct Letter Doctor. Each doctor has a different letter and they must sort the bags to match the right doctor. 

·       Community Helpers Teen numbers…

o   In order to help my kids better understand the teen numbers, I created this book with the chance to practice counting, drawing, writing, and understanding ten frames.
