Jack and the Beanstalk contains literacy and math learning centers based on the classic fairytale. There are 4 literacy centers, 4 math centers, 4 graphic organizers and 3 games. Activities are appropriate for late kindergarten and early first grade students. Each learning center comes with a worksheet to enhance learning or record answers. Classroom learning time is approximately 2 weeks.
Literacy Centers

This was very well put together. I enjoyed sharing this with my class. All came in handy and I'm still using the bean pattern even after we finished our Jack and the Beanstalk theme.
Thank you...glad you and your students enjoyed it. Jack has been my best seller to date! I am thinking of creating Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs! Stay tuned! :)

This pack of literacy and math centers fits perfectly in with my Jack and The Beanstalk unit for Grade 1. I students have really enjoyed the Building the Castle game and the True or False questions were great for comprehension. I would like to have seen some more writing activities but the math ones overall are good and I really like the word wall cards as well. Thanks!
I loved the Jack and the Beanstalk downloads. The children especially loved the True/ False game. I was able to use the download and create add ons to go with the unit. This is worth buying!
