"I Have, Who Has?" Alphabet Game: A deck of cards to play this classic chain game. "I have A, who has M? I have M, who has S?"
Rhyming Name Game: Match each student from Miss B's class with a picture that rhymes with his or her name. Great for use in a pocket chart or Literacy Station.
Miss B's Class Pictures: Pair the lowercase alphabet cards with the class photo of the student whose name begins with the same uppercase letter. Great to use in a pocket chart or Literacy Center.
"The Letters in My Name" Letter Sort: Students cut, paste and sort colorful letter tiles and glue them onto a student graph indicating which letters are in their names.
Getting Ready for Kindergarten: An original book with four versions; a large, full color shared reading book, a small, full-color guided reader, a small b&w emergent reader with one word on each page left out for the students to write and a large b&w version for students to copy the text. Great for differentiating. All four versions have a cover and eight pages.
How Many Friends? - Number Match: Match the Miss B numeral cards with the class photo cards that show the correct number of students. Great for use in a Math Station.
Making Patterns with Coco: Student's use pattern strips with Miss B's beloved pet, Coco, to extend AB, ABC, AABB, ABB and AAB patterns. Great for use in a Math Station. Student worksheet included.
Getting Ready for Kindergarten Class Book: Full color cover and reproducible student page.
Story Recall Activities: Two student activity sheets that foster comprehension and story recall.
Miss B Character Web: Brainstorm descriptive words that describe everyone's favorite kindergarten teacher.
If I were in Miss Bindergarten's Class: Creative writing prompt - students pair their names with an animal that starts with the same letter to creat their "animal name." "If I were in Miss Bindergarten's class, my animal name would be Billy Bear."
Great materials and activities. I plan to use most of the activities during the first week of school with my kindergarteners. The only activity that I do not believe the majority of my students will be able to do is the activity where they copy the sentences, but this will be a great assessment regardless. Thanks!
