This is a look into Ireland. There are activities that include math, reading, science, and social studies. There are games, writing exercises, math story problems, and many more activities.
This is a math center activity. Children match the ant sum to the pants equation. This is a great activity to put inside of a picnic basket or inside a purse made out of denim jeans. What a fun way to practice addition!
This is a packet of word problems. I use this in the classroom. We do one problem a day. I give each student the slip with the problem on it and the students glue it to their paper. I then read the story problem and students determine what they need to do first to solve the problem. My students love to do these problems because they incorporate art and math. The students learn that through the use of drawing they are able to visualize the problem and find the answer.
This activity is a great cooperative learning center. Students work together to measure one another. Students then determine who is taller, shorter, or are they the same size. Students then graph their height on the recording sheet.
This activity can be set up for a math center that helps children to use non standard items to measure the length and width of a horse and record their findings on the recording sheet.
This is a math center to reinforce concepts of measuring done with a spring theme. Children measure the width and hieght of the bunny using non standard measuring devices.
This is a 28 pg packet that has large cute penguins as the vowel sort mats and beautiful snowflakes with words in a font that is large and easy enough for students to read. I like to use this particular game for morning bell work at a table with 4-6 students or during Guided Reading. I laminate the vowel recording sheet and allow students to use the Vis a Vi markers during Guided Reading. Just be sure to print enough for your group. This activity meets CCCS for kindergarten ELA.

This is a game that is similar to the game BANG. Students play the game by reading a card. If the student gets the word right they are able to keep the card, and if the student cannot read the card it goes back at the bottom of the pile or the next student may try to read it.
This is a great activity to build sight word recognition and speed.
This is a math center that helps students learn and understand sums and differences from 0-5 for fluency. I use this center with snowflakes that are plastic purchased from Wal-mart to help children solve the equations. This could easily be set up as a playdough center to help students understand addition and subtraction.This center meets Kindergarten Math CCCS and is also good for struggling first graders.
This is game that can be used to help students learn their sight words. The game can be used as a center activity or whole group. This could also be used with parents as a way to help their child learn and memorize sight words.
This is an activity to help students use skills they have learned to tell which is greater or lesser than. This can also be used for assessment or observation.
This is a literacy activity to help students learn to visualize and solve problems. This is a puzzle students try to find as many 2 letter, 3 letter, 4 letter, and 5 letter words as they can.
