Use this to track your pre-school, kindergarten, or first grade student progress. Space at the bottom of each page is included for teacher anecdotal notes. I have my kinders start with capitals and when they master that, they move on to lowercase, sounds, and numbers. I send each page home with a sticker when they complete it. Kids and parents love to see the progress before conference time!

Use this recording sheet to track how your students are progressing with their letter name and sound recognition. It's a quick snapshot that can include your entire class. Add additional rows for more students :)
Sight words that go with Journey's kindergarten reading curriculum. The colors indicate when I assess my kiddos on each set (after second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter)
Edit this kindergarten schedule to fit your own! I put a copy in parent folders at the beginning of the year and also send a copy to secretary and any specialists who may pull kiddos out of the room.
I believe in play based learning! I teach to common core standards and try to incorporate play and hands on learning whenever possible.
