Kindergarten Word Wall Wall of Fame!



We try really hard to get our students to learn 100 words in kindergarten! This is a bulletin board that we put up after Christmas in one of the main hallways of our schools. When a student learns 100, 200, or even 300+ words, their picture goes on the Word Wall Wall of Fame and they love it! They try really hard to get their picture on this wall and the staff enjoys looking at it as well!

Snowman Name Graph



My kids really enjoy doing the "Snowman Name Graph" activity. I think I found this activity from a Mailbox Magazine. We try to see who has the longest or the shortest name and my kids love it! This is an example of this years Snowman Name Graph. I had to add some blue to our poster because I have 24 kids this year!

Word Builders!!









I use POST IT Word Builder Notes to help my kids create words. I pasted the word builder notes on index cards and laminated them. I also wrote consonant and vowel names on separate cards for the beginning of the words. They put the two cards together and make words. They love it!

I think you can purchase the POST IT notes at Target, Walmart, or any Office store!




Math Centers



My kiddos love math centers. The picture above shows my kids rolling dice and recording their answers. They use the dice to create and solve addition problems.



The above picture is an example of one of our math centers, focusing on more/less. I created math mats and the students use different manipulatives to compare more and less. The students use whiteboard markers to count and write the numbers of the manipulatives.
