Inspiration from the Dollar Tree
I have been shopping at some my favorite places this month and I wanted to share with you one of my fantastic finds.
I found these chip clips at Dollar Tree.
I found these chip clips at Dollar Tree.
And was inspired to create this product Which Number is Greater? Alligator!
If you are unable to find these clips at your local store, my product includes directions to create your own alligator clothespin. You will need to provide the clothespins, glue, and marker.
This product helps students understand the concept of comparing numbers, specifically which number is the larger one.
You can find Which Number is Greater? Alligator! in my TpT store.
A Walk on the Farm {Rosie's Walk style}
In 30 short days I will open the door to my Kindergarten classroom and welcome the newest class of 4 and 5 year olds.
One of the books I love to read the first few weeks of school is Rosie's Walk by Pat Hutchins.
Though this book was published in 1968, children today still love the story of Rosie the hen walking on the farm unaware that a fox is following her.

Though this book was published in 1968, children today still love the story of Rosie the hen walking on the farm unaware that a fox is following her.
I use this book to begin teaching about directional words such as across, over, through, and under. My students act out Rosie's movements in the classroom and then they work on a fun booklet that I created called A Walk on the Farm.
In the booklet, students become the main character and they are able to move the character and reenact the story. A student photo is glued on the farmer to create the main character. The figure is stapled or taped to a piece of yarn and then stapled into the spine of the book. This enables students to move the farmer character onto each page of the book.
My kids love this interactive lesson!
