So Lucky To Be A Teacher

Teachers are so lucky because they get to experience the joy of watching children learn!

Teachers come in many forms!

 

Teachers in a school classroom, a homeschool, a preschool, a daycare, a roadschool, worldschool, an afterschool program or other educational program will totally understand this!

 

If you are a parent, grandparent or relative that helps with the learning of a child you are also a teacher and will also understand this concept too!

 

I am sharing information about this activity!

Free Bingo Game!

Fall my most favorite season of the year!

 

My freebie is called

My First Number Bingo Game for Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving.

 

This colorful, fun math product will help to introduce students to the concept of playing Bingo, or provide practice for proficient players. It uses the concepts of left/right, top/middle/bottom, corners and even diagonal, if your students are able to understand that concept. Differentiated instruction allows for a variety of levels of abilities to play this activity, making it more difficult as needed.

 

This game includes 3 pumpkin board templates, a nine grid, a twelve grid and a sixteen grid. Also included are little pumpkin calling cards 0-15, plus directions and suggestions for playing. I've added little leaves, jacks and turkey pumpkins cards as an extra surprise to create some excitement. I used candy corn as my counters to mark the numbers and when a picture card is shown each student gets a piece of candy to eat!

You will need to write the numbers on the pumpkin boards. I had a parent volunteer (Gotta love them!) do that, and laminated them.

 

Another way to use this activity is to give each student a pumpkin and have them write the numbers in the various squares. For example, you assign the numbers 0-10 on the 9 space grid pumpkin. They use a pencil to write the numbers first in any spaces, to make sure they have written them correctly, and then trace over them with crayon or marker. Then play the game. Students can trade cards for each game because each board is different.

This product can also be printed in grayscale to save colored ink.

The children look forward to practicing their numbers and you get a good visual evaluation of their progress. Great to play during fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving.

 

Another number pumpkin product is

 Fall Pumpkins and Leaves Number Matching Color or Black & White.

What a great way to practice number matching with a fall theme of pumpkins and leaves! Just laminate and use over and over every year! 

Introduce or review the concepts of number matching. This activity can be used, even if only a few number concepts have been introduced. Then add the other pieces as they are learned.

Great center or group activity too! Download Preview to see the complete activity.

Some hands-on learning activities that I like to do during this time are: 

Easter Bunny Geometric Shape Rabbit

 It is used to introduce or review the four shapes, circle, square, triangle, rectangle,
 plus practice fine motor skills, cutting, gluing, and body awareness.

It has a variety of different activites and colors and creating the whole body or just the head!

For the little learners, it is best to just start with the head activity!

Here is a Preview of this product.

 I have two great interactive songs!

  Easter Song And Posters E-G-G-I-E Was His Name-O

 

Easter/Spring Song And Posters B-U-N-N-Y Was His Name-O

 What fun activities for the spring or Easter season. Sing to the tune "Bingo."
 It is a great way for tiny humans to learn some letters of the alphabet!

There is a song poster, an action poster and letter posters that spell the word, included is a cover sheet and directions. Each poster is 8 1/2 by 11 inches.

Introduce the song using the song poster. Pass the letter cards out and have the students participate with the singing. To make the activity harder sing the song with subtracting a letter for each verse and do a motion or sound instead. Laminate and use year after year!

 

This activity can be used even by a single child by having them point at the posters and do the motions.
