This is a year long scope and sequence of the Kindergarten Wonders program. Plan at a glance using this teacher friendly chart which maps out all of the literacy skills broken down by unit. Each unit is then broken down into categories of the weekly concept, essential question, comprehension strategy, comprehension skill, phonic skill, high frequency words, big book story, category words, and oral vocabulary words.

I put this onto the back of my students reading logs each week. They have to complete each activity to show they are reading their books. It helps me to maintain accountability both for parents and students.

This is an activity I do the first week of school. The order of the poem goes like this: First name: Kate Three words to describe: happy silly smart Your role: Second grade student Who loves: puppies Who feels: sleepy Who needs: chocolate Who fears: spiders Who lives in: Coatesville Last name: Fahnestock The kids really love it and I have them draw a self portrait to go with it.

I send these home at our Open house. I staple the poem to a baggie of star confetti which I buy at a party store (just a pinch). I put the labels on the baggies. The kids love putting their magic dust under their pillow and I'm told it eases a lot of first day jitters!

These coversheets are for use with the Kindergarten Wonders end of unit and benchmark assessments. I did not feel that the grading rubric/chart provided in the assessment manual was nice enough to send home to parents - so I have been using these instead.

I have my students complete this printable, then I take their pictures and have them glue them below. We laminate it, and its a great first day of school momento.

This is great for the first week of school. Students can illustrate their memory in the top section and write about it on the lines below. We cut these out and hang them around the room.

Students complete this form after reading a new story. They think about what they know from their schema as well as clues from the text to determine if a story is real or make-believe.

I had my class make snowmen from construction paper and then write about what they would do if they were a snowman sneaking out at night after we read the story.

This can be used in a variety of ways. I usually have students earn a certain amount of stickers on a chart, then we use this to report back to parents each day.

I use this chart for displaying learning outcomes in my classroom each day. I laminate it and write on it each day with dry-erase marker. The content areas can be altered to suit your needs.

I created a chart from the assessment booklet for use in grading the end of unit writing assessments in the Kindergarten Wonders program in units 6-10. Data recording sheets are also included.

I used this with a student who needed a check in after each section of our day. The subject area can be written into each section and then I would reward him with a sticker for good behavior during each block.

These bookmarks can be used after conferring with a student. I write what we discussed they are doing well, as well as what to work on. I also write a recommendation for a particular series or book I want them to try. They keep them in their book boxes until we meet again.
