Even Monsters Need Haircuts Activity

After the students listen to the story "Even Monsters Need Haircuts", they will color in a monster.

The students will choose which hair color he/she would like and the teacher tapes it on.

The students HAVE FUN cutting their monsters hair! 

The students had SO MUCH FUN!

Monsterous Sight Words

We are going to be doing Monster Centers at the end of October.  Most of our math & reading activities are from Julie Lee's Monster Unit.  Click {here} to go to her blog and check them out!  My bestie, Miss Neuenschwander, sure comes up with the most creative centers for our little kiddos in kindergarten.  (She was meant to be in Kinderland!)  Here are some pictures of our sight word center ~ How Many Monsterous Sight Words in the Closet? 

The top closet is a picture of it shut.  I used a little piece of velcro to keep it closed.  The bottom closet is the closet open.  (I bet you are thinikng...no kidding!?! but for some reason I feel I should explain this picture.) We used the same sight word in the closet with different fonts.  We also used the word "the" as upper-case and lower-case. 

The students will open the closet door, write the sight word they see, count how many times it is written, and record their answer.

Click {right here}  to go to our Teachers Notebook for the worksheet.  Making the creepy & cute closets are all on your own fun~time!  

Thank you,

Havin' a "MONSTER" of a good time in centers this week!

Ghosts
The students get to make a ghost in the art center.  They have to tear around the edges of a 11*7 sheet of construction paper and cut out 2 circles and 1 oval. 
I love to see how each ghost is so different!   

 

Shape Toss
The students will roll a dice, say the shape, and dot it with the bingo dabber until each monster is colored in. 



Monster Measurement
The students had to measure each monster with cubes.  When they were finished, he/she had to tell me which monster was the tallest and which monster was the shortest.
I got this idea from Mrs. Lee's Monster Madness packet on TPT.  Check it out! 

Monster Counting
The students had to find a monster and count how many dots on the monster.  Then he/she had to write the number in the box.   

Listening Center
The students listen to the story, Even Monsters Need Haircuts and told me orally their favorite part (event) that happened in the story.  Then the students had to find "monster words" on a worksheet.  This you will find also in Mrs. Lee's Monster Madness Packet.   

Haunted House
The students had to complete the Monster Stomps Worksheet (working on syllables in words - Mrs. Lee AGAIN).  Then the students got to dress up in costumes while they read Halloween stories, wrote about Halloween, and guessed how many eyeballs in the jar. 

Ten Little Monster
The students had to trace the words "I" "see" and the "color word" on each page.  Then the students had to draw 1, 2, 3, up to 10 colored monsters on each page.
