Kindergarten RTI Sneak Peak: A Kindergarten Teacher's Survival Guide to RTI

I've been working with my struggling readers quite a bit to build foundational reading skills to begin deciding books on their own. To make life easier I made a no pep RTI notebook which makes pulling students individually a breeze!

 I printed each section on colored paper and placed them in plastic sleeves. Then I hot glued pom poms to the end of a dry erase marker (skinny markets are easier for the kids). I attached the pens to Velcro and stuck them in the inside of the binder. Pesto!

Here is a quick peek inside of my new product!

EGG-citing Math! Interactive and FUN Math Center for all Levels!

A teacher can never have enough math centers up her sleeve! Here are the steps for a never ending math center!

You can use empty egg cartons or the clear cupcake containers. If your class is like mine, you'll have a bunch tucked away from the many birthdays! I prefer the clear 12-cupcake containers. 

What you'll need:

egg carton or cupcake container

glue

colored circles

marker

pomp poms (I like the glittery ones best!)

recording sheet (Click here to download for FREE)

This center can be used to reinforce multiplication, addition, subtraction and number identification skills.

Letters Galore! Fun & Interactive Ways to Teach Letters!

Let's ditch those worksheets people! I started using this activity during my literacy centers last week and the students LOVE it!

What you'll need:

Baking sheets (I found mine at the dollar store!) 
Spray paint
Magnet letters (get them here)
Magnet Letter Mats (click here to download)

I painted each baking sheet with spray paint. Then I taped the work mats on the baking sheets. I place letters on each pan for students to sort.

Boo Crew! Halloween Centers for Little Learners!

 

Growing up, Halloween was always my favorite holiday. Honestly, it might still be (Christmas is a close second). As a teacher I love making our learning experiences fun for my students so incorporating holidays is always a no-brainer. I've been working on my Halloween packet and I'm SO excited that I've finished. I have to admit that I might have gone a little crazy with this packet. There are A LOT of activities in here including 14 hands-on activities. Just a little warning. 

Here's a little preview of my new packet. Hope you all enjoy!
