Literacy Center Activities for Kindergarten

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Victoria Day. A nice long weekend.....

{My children have said to me several times that it feels like we're on summer holidays. Nope, 4 1/2 weeks left to go!}

Here is our latest round of Literacy Work Stations in my classroom. Several work with May's theme: God's Gift of Food.

MAY I TAKE YOUR ORDER?

In Math we have been practicing our addition skills, so this activity combines both addition and writing.

Students take turns ordering from the menu, while the other writes down their order and tallies up their bill.

Here's what my menu looks like.

{The prices were all in dollars, for easy addition.}

Here's the order form.

SIGHT WORD BOOK

Our newest sight word book is all about our theme...FOOD.

We added the words on and my to our

high-five chart and Word Wall.

Students highlighted the words on and my in their sight word books.

The sight word book is from Hubbards Cupboard, and is called

 Thanksgiving Dinner.

WRITE-STAMP-DECORATE

Students write, stamp, and decorate the newest sight words that we've learned.

The Write-Stamp-Decorate page is from Mrs. I.

SECRET CODE SPELLING

Using the Secret Codes page I found from Mrs. Gilchrist's Class, I created some secret codes for my students to figure out.

So fun!

LISTENING CENTER

During our Guided Reading lessons, we've looked at several versions of The Little Red Hen and did some comparing/contrasting.

The students listened to a version of the story at the listening center, then filled in this reader's response sheet from Mrs. Jump.
