Fall Color Word Practice

It is finally starting to feel a little like Fall here in South Carolina.  My 4 year old is learning to read color words, so I made these Fall themed activities to help him practice.

The color mats are easy to print.  Simply print the mats and leaves and then laminate for durability.  They come in 2 different printing options.  The print comes in all black to be more challenging, or the print comes in color.  Add Velcro dots above the color words and to the right of the mats in the empty boxes.

Next, cut out the leaves and then add Velcro to the back of them and place on the empty squares.

Have students match the leaves to the corresponding color words.  These Velcro mats make great activities for centers, stations, small groups, morning work and more.

There are also printables included for additional practice.

These Color Word Mats include practice with falling leaves, acorns, owls and monster's eyes.  Click here to see everything that is included.

Free Fall Activity Bundle for Kindergarten

My favorite season is here!  Well, if it only felt like Fall outside!  In South Carolina, it is still hot!  I have been in short sleeves, shorts and flip flops everyday still!  Hopefully, it will start cooling down soon!  I have teamed up with 13 of my friends to share some Fall themed freebies with you.  First up, are my Free Alphabet Mats.  These Mats have real life Fall pictures in the background with alphabet letters on top.  The letters are big and white.  This allows students to practice the alphabet by coloring, tracing or building with playdough.   The mats can also be used as a letter match activity in which students match magnetic letters to the corresponding letters on the mats.

You can grab this free resource in my store by clicking here.

Be sure to grab 13 more freebies!  I'll list the links for you below.

Construction Sensory Bins

Do you use Sensory Bins in your classroom?  I love this set of Construction Themed Sensory Bins!  These activities are perfect for Preschool, Homeschool or Kindergarten and can be used for morning work, small group, or for Literacy and Math centers.  There are 3 Literacy and 3 Math centers included in my resource, which I will link here.  I will share a few of the activities included.  

Building Numbers 0-20

Just add your choice of manipulative and students can practice building the number.

Letter Trace:

Students can use dry erase markers to trace lowercase letters.  Students can also use beans, rocks or another manipulative to build the letters.

Letter Match:

Students practice matching the rock to the correct truck.  There are options included for students to match capital to capital, or lowercase to capital. 

 Sound Match:

Students match the pictures to the correct beginning sound.

Apple Craft and Bulletin Board

Are you looking for a fun and easy apple activity for young learners?  I designed this apple template to practice several different skills for little learners.  The craft comes with a leaf, a stem, skin and flesh that are easy for young children to cut out.  The seeds are a little smaller to give students more challenge as they practice scissor skills.  This lesson is great to use in the Fall.  Once students cut and paste the apple together, they can write one letter of their name onto each seed.

This craftivity can easily be turned into a Bulletin Board by printing, cutting and hanging the letters that read, Couldn't Have "Picked" a Sweeter Class.

Kindergarten Write the Room Bundle

Do you use Write the Room activities in your classroom?  My students always loved these centers!  Write the Room is such a great way to get students up and moving and engaged in learning.  I wanted to share some of the centers from my Kindergarten bundle with you.

This bundle will continue to grow, but here is what is included so far:

2D Shapes

3D Shapes

Beginning Sounds

Middle Sounds

Subitizing

Here is a look at a few of the centers:

2D Shapes Write the Room

 Subitize Write the Room

 Beginning Sounds Write the Room

These centers are so easy to prep!  Simply print, laminate for durability, cut and the cards are ready to be hung around the room for students to find.  Students can use clipboards to secure their recording sheet.  Students walk around the room, find the cards, and then record the answer on his/her sheet.  Or the cards can be placed in centers, stations, morning tubs, etc.

Fall Bulletin Board

I am so ready for Fall!  My husband has a few days off from work and my son does not have school tomorrow so we are planning on heading to the Apple Orchard.  I wanted to share this Name Practice activity with you that makes an adorable Bulletin Board display.  This packet includes a little blue truck template with pumpkins.  Students simply cut and paste the trucks together and then add a pumpkin for each letter in his/her name.  Students write 1 letter of his/her name onto each pumpkin to complete the craft.  This craft template is simple and perfect for students with beginning scissor skills.

Here are a few examples of the craft: 

This craft also comes with letters that read "Happy Fall" or "Happy Fall Y'all".  Just print, cut and hang.

All About Me Craft

I wanted to share my newest craft and writing activity with you.  I love this craft so much for Back to School or as an addition to an All About Me Unit.  The craft template is simple, providing practice to students that are just beginning to use scissors.  Students simply cut out the pieces and then glue to make a boy or girl that looks like them.  To prep this craft, just copy the patterns onto different colors of paper and have students select the type of skin and hair etc. that most closely looks like them.  There are 4 different writing options that can be seen here.  The templates range from fill in the blank to lined writing pages.  The fill in the blank can be answered by the student or the teacher can fill in what the students says (for younger students).  Two different styles of lined paper are included for students that are ready to write.  This project is a great activity to have students present to the class.  Students will have so much fun as they listen to their classmates tell all about themselves!
