This is a printout use to make two shape houses (they are the same color) using different colored contact paper. This is used in the building study with the Creative Curriculum. I printed out on white paper and then stuck the colored contact paper wanted for each piece in copy machine one at a time to make sure each piece turned out the color I wanted. The picture you see for the thumbnail is when it is printed on different colored contact paper. In word it does not look like might much as it is

I don't know why the preview looks the way it does, but when I download it the lines and dots and everything is in the correct place. This is ordinal numbers 1-20. Each card has the ordinal number word, the ordinal number, stars ( to be colored for correct ordinal number), regular number, and dots to match number. I am using this in my pre-k classroom as floor pieces for the students to stand on when lining up. I have labeled the first one Line Leader, the next three Door Holder, and the last

This is small number 1-20 for lanyard use. Inch and half to two inches in size. During the school year I teach pre-k students the numbers slowly and only put 2 or 3 on my lanyard at a time. While they are lining up I am asking them questions about the numbers. What is this? Can you show me that number on your fingers? Can you count to that number with me? or other simple things. I also do this during the afternoon dismissal time that can take up to 15 minutes. I use them more as a transition

Teaching style

I believe in a more play based learning experienced. Students learning in centers guided by teacher. Teacher comes over to centers with students and teachers by using materials in centers along with students interest.
