Apple Carton Trees

I wish I would of thought of this years ago, because they turned out beautifully.  We cut apple cartons in the shape of a tree and let the children paint to their hearts content.  Once they had painted their tree shape we had them sprinkle glitter on top of the wet paint.  These beautiful trees are now hanging around our classroom and bringing us some holiday cheer.






Bring in Some Holiday Cheer!

Building More Math Skills with Pocket Charts for the Holiday


 When teaching about math at circle time I find that it is helpful if I use a pocket chart so that the children can be more involved in the process. Children are able to come up and move the number cards around until they are able to have them in the proper order and as they place the cards in proper order they will discover that the numbers have also created a math pattern.
I also use the same number as my calendar pieces so that as children explore the numbers at center time in a pocket chart they can refer back to the calendar in the group area.

Writers Work Station

There is no better way to get your preschool children writing than setting up a writers work station.  Providing writing opportunities with children everyday will give children the experience to move through the writing stages with ease. 

Providing mini lessons on writing topics through a shared writing experience will be the most effective method in guiding children toward writing on a specific topic.



Have a writing word wall were children are able to physically go and get words to write, will empower them to write their own words to their story.


To help with your writing work station you can go to Teachers Pay Teachers Teachers Pay Teachers or Teachers Notebook and get the December Writers Work Station Packet.


or
 What can be found in the packet.

This is a writer’s work station packet filled with holiday themed papers and prompts that included, book making prompts, story writing prompt sheets, I can draw work sheets and 24 vocabulary and word writing cards and don’t forget a Dear Santa letter writing sheet.
