Gearing up for Apple Week in Kindergarten! 🍎 🍏

We are going to have an apple tasting this week and vote on our favorites! Each student will complete the writing page shown here. I display it as a bulletin board with the “We Like Apples” freebie you can find in my store. When I take the pages down, I will turn them into another class book for our library.

This set is sold separately and also as part of my Growing Bundle of Class Books. I’ll add the link to my stories!

Do you have any fun apple activities planned?

September Math Journals for the win! My monthly

September Math Journals for the win!

My monthly writing journals have been a life saver for me and so many others in the kindergarten classroom. I wanted to create a similar monthly resource of Math Journals.

I’m using the September Math Journal this month, and it’s the perfect introduction to number sense for my new students. It’s also great for working on number formation, which is something a lot of kids struggle with at the beginning of the year.

This growing bundle is almost complete. You can snag it at the current price and receive the updates for free when the last journals are added!

Have you tried Math Journals yet?

One of my favorite Fall activities… My students

One of my favorite Fall activities…

My students enjoy making these bushy tailed squirrels each year! I love how this craft integrates writing, fine motor skills, and art into one lesson.

You can purchase this resource separately or as part of a 30 set Mega Bundle of seasonal bulletin boards for the entire year.

What fun activities do you have planned for Fall?

Teacher Tip: Turn bulletin boards into class book

Teacher Tip: Turn bulletin boards into class books!

After reading the story Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, we did a directed coloring activity with the pages shown. I made the pages editable and created a page with each student’s name. They loved learning how to rainbow write their names!

I displayed the pages in the hallway with the lettering above. When I take it down, I’ll place the pages in sheet protectors in a binder to create a class book for our library.

My kinders love making class books more than anything! It gives them a sense of ownership because THEY are the author and illustrators.

You can purchase this resource in my TPT Store. I also added it to my growing bundle of Class Books. If you’ve already purchased the bundle, simply download the file again to receive the update.

Do you make class books with your students?

My kids have never been more excited to visit our classroom library before…

I wanted to make my classroom library more inviting, and the Kind Vibes collection by @carsondellosa was the perfect decor for my Book Nook. My Dad built these bookshelves with rain gutters, and I love how the kids can see the choices available to them. We are working on creating Class Books to add to the shelves soon!

Head to the blog for more details about this space and my entire classroom makeover!

I love having my classroom rug back this year!

We couldn’t have rugs in our rooms last year. It always felt like something was missing in kindergarten without it. I never realized what a gift it was to read to the kids on the carpet until that was taken away.

I was so excited to hear that we could have our rugs back. I have a big class this year. So while we can’t all gather on the carpet at once yet, I am rotating turns between the tables to maintain distance.

This rainbow rug was a gift from our PTA. I wanted to make it a focal point in my classroom makeover and design the rest of the room around it. You can read more about my latest makeover with @carsondellosa on the blog!

Do you have your rug back yet?

So thankful for a three-day weekend! #fableticspa
