Freebie Friday!

Today's freebie is all about APPLES! 3 different Play-doh activies: Measure and make worms; Roll the correct number of apples for the tree; Make the number mats.  A literacy center where students pick a sight word apple and record.  Lastly, a letter Aa sort.

I do have one request from you though!! :)  If you download this freebie, will you help me out by clicking on this link and voting for my project for my classroom? Thanks!! https://www.limeadesforlearning.com/projects/1282650

Freebie Friday

My advice to new Kinder teachers - allow your students time to grow and mature before trying to present a 20-30 minute lesson where they do nothing but sit on the rug.  They simply can not do it and IF they actually stay sitting the whole time, I promise you lost their focus at least half way through it.  :)  Something that I've heard year after year, but helps remind me - a child can only keep true attention for about 1 minute for each year of age. Therefore, my 5 year-olds can handle just around 5 minutes before needing to get up, move, sing, dance, etc.

My freebie for you today is a Smart board file that provides links to many great Brain Break videos and also some good classroom management videos. The links can easily be changed to YOUR favorites by right-clicking on the record or note and unlocking it. Then, right-click again and go down to "link". Remove the current link that I've attached and paste in your own link. Just delete the picture of the old video and take a pic of your new one.  I hope these come in handy for you. Have a great Friday!
