| I See Colors |
 |
| The students had to find the backpack (or other objects) and write the color word on the line. They could use the colored crayon to copy the color word. |
 |
| Pete The Cat The students at this center will read the book with me. The students will have 10 minutes to color in some of the pictures (to work on their fine motor skills). Then the students can take their book home to read to their parents and put in their treasure box. By the way.... I got this book from Fran's (Kindergarten Crayons) Pete The Cat unit on Teachers Pay Teachers. |
 |
| Shape Toss The students like to see which shape is going to make it to the top first! |
 |
| M&M Graph The students had to sort and graph their M&M's. Then the students had to write how many M&M's in each column. Finally...you gotta love a center when you get to eat the manipulative at the end! |
 |
| The Shape Song In the pocket chart I have Dr. Jean's song, The Shape Song, displayed for the students to see. |
 |
| This is an example of the book the students look at while we listen to the song on CD. |
 |
| The students will color in a shape on each page by copying the colors in the pocket chart. On the last page, I will ask the students each shape. If the student gets a shape wrong, I will circle it to let the parents know which shapes to work on at home. |
 |
| Shape Monster Glyph I got this idea from Mrs. Lee's Blog, and of course I took the idea and made it cuter. JOKING! No...really....I look forward to all her great ideas that she shares to use with my students. |
 |
| Shape Monster Glyph Favorite Shape = Body Favorite Color = Color of my Monster Triangle/Rectangle Body = 1 Eye Square/Circle Body = 3 Eyes Rectangle Mouth = I am a boy Semi Circle Mouth = I am a girl Hair Pieces = How many letters in your name |
 |
| Rainbow Hair Click on the words "Rainbow Hair" below and you can get a copy of the poem. You might have to change it a bit because of the different fonts I have on my computer. Rainbow Hair |
By the way...I will add copies of my centers to my teacher website at www.luv2teachk.shutterfly.com soon. Look under the "THEME" link on the top of the website. Thanks!
Do your students do the Rainbow hair on white paper or is it wax paper? It's hard to tell in the photo. Thanks so much! LOVE the ideas!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Russell...We do it on white bulletin board paper. I think it would be a slipping and a sliding on wax paper. HE HE HE
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! Yes! I think you're right about the slipping and sliding! I didn't think it was regular construction paper that you used since the paper has a bit of a glossier look in the photo. I did the Rainbow hair with my preschoolers (on construction paper), and they LOVED it! I'll have to try bulletin board paper next time. I never thought of doing that! Thanks again for the great idea!
