Literacy Center Activities for Kindergarten

Here is the latest five day rotation of literacy activities:

WRITE THE ROOM

My students have been using my Valentine's Day freebie set to Write the Room.

Using Valentine pointers, students read the sight word hearts that are posted around the classroom.

Wearing heart-shaped sunglasses while reading-the-room makes this activity even more fun!

At this center, students practice printing their friends' names, then trace over them using different colored markers.

When they finish their page, they write words on the chalkboard, rainbow writing over top of their words using different colors of chalk.

I initially had Franklin's Valentines as our book selection, however my tape recorder ate the tape :(

So now it's Pete the Cat!

{in non-machine-edible CD format}

The kids are rockin' out to Pete's song, air guitars and all.

You can grab a copy of the reading response sheet from Mrs. Jump.

Our Valentine book is called The Hearts.

It can be found at Hubbard's Cupboard.

For those interested, the book is available in English, French, German, and Spanish!

This month I need to assess my students in their ability to identify the initial sounds in words, so I created this sheet for them to work on:

They cut out the letters and glue them beside the picture that begins with that letter.
