Snowflake Decoding Practice for Short Vowel Word Activities

These letter cards are used daily for the first few minutes of reading instruction in January and February. Then, I print, laminate, and cut each card out for prep. I have used similar cards since August so that children will understand the activity by January. This month, we added blends to build CVC words and …

Color Explosion Book Activities 

We LOVE the book Fluffy McWhiskers Cuteness Explosion by Stephen W. Martin and Dan Tavis! My kids started asking me to read this to them nightly, and one night they came up with a plan to make an entire day devoted to color explosions like in the book. It was a great day for the …

We continued our study of the five senses today using the book What If You Had Animal Eyes!? By Sandra Markle and illustrated by Howard McWilliam.  Today’s read-aloud book inspired a lot of messy activities.

Read Aloud with What If You Had Animal Ears!? 

Today's book is called What If You Had Animal Ears!? Written by Sandra Markle and illustrated by Howard McWilliam.  I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but my kids were hooked on the image of a girl with koala ears and knew it would be a good book choice for today.  We …

Chameleon Food Craft 

I forgot about St. Patrick’s Day; let me reword that. I prepared, planned, and anticipated the holiday until the day it arrived and were busy with all the things life is filled with these days.  So we had pipe cleaners, fruit loops, and marshmallows to use and no ideas to think of. Until this morning, …

Ravi’s Roar Book Activities

We loved reading Ravi’s Roar by Tom Percival! My daughter told me she wants to grab this book the next time she gets upset to re-read it. And the next day, my son started screaming and crying, and she looked at me, threw up her arms, and said, “Ok, I’m getting the book.” She explained …

Space Sensory Play Activity

Learning about space has become a significant focus for my kids lately. They love finding the moon during the day and reading books all about planets. So we decided our space-themed inflatable tent would make for the perfect setting for our read-aloud and sensory play activity today.  Space Sensory Play Activity Materials  Inflatable tent/ square …
