Can you believe January is almost over!? Where is time going? I feel like I've barely worked since returning from winter break. Here is the view from outside my back door:
We are supposed to get hit again this weekend, with another several inches and very frigid temperatures. Things are not looking good for school next week. I am all about a snow day but not when it interferes with my time doing this:
Anyhow, today's post is all about that little rodent, the groundhog! I wanted to make some fun center and literacy activities that tie into Groundhog Day. I finished up this super pack during my snow day Tuesday. I had it all printed out and laminated today. I am so excited to use these activities next week! Bellow are some of the fun activities!
Fact Family: Select a card and write the fact family! This is a good skill to keep practicing, esp. those darn subtraction facts!
Sentence Scramble: Match the pictures then order the words to form sentences. Learning sentence structure is so important. This activity also helps build youngsters' vocabulary!
Number Patterns: This CCSS skill is a tricky one, but not for my kids! We've been practicing these like crazy and they are excelling! They are going to love the little groundhogs/suns! Shh! Don't tell them they're learning!
Fact Sort: Another CCSS that is so VITAL for young children-Math facts! My kids are doing fantastic with addition, but I've noticed they still need additional practice with subtraction. Thus, this sort!
Prior Knowledge Pieces: Build that prior knowledge and continue to think about learning throughout your whole unit of study!
Mini-Books: I love a good mini-book reader! I've included two in this pack-"Groundhog Day," which is all about the actual day and "Groundhogs," which is all about those cute little creatures! My kids have so much fun reading their mini-books, coloring them with markers, and searching for sight words!
These activities and lots more are included in my "Hooray for Groundhog Day" pack. I hope that you will take a look! It's on sale for a few days but the sale won't last forever!
