January Centers {literacy}

January 2, 2014 misskindergarten 7 Comments

As promised, I’m back with pictures of the literacy portion of my January Math and Literacy Centers! These centers cover skills from beginning sounds, CVC words, sight words, short vowel sounds and sentence building! I put these out in our literacy tubs and the kiddos choose which centers they want to do. You can read more about how I run my literacy centers {here}.
Marshmallow Match:
In this center, the students will practice reading their CVC words by matching the words on the marshmallows with the pictures on the hot chocolate.
I also made some beginning sound marshmallows for the kiddos who aren’t quite ready for CVC words yet.
Then they complete the corresponding recording sheet {which I stick in write and wipe pockets or sheet protectors}.
 Colorful Mittens:
This is a fun way to practice sentence structure using sight words and color words. The kiddos build a sentence and then match the correct color mitten to the sentence.
To differentiate, I leave out several recording sheets to meet my students’ needs. One of them requires the students to trace the sight words and color the mittens the correct color, another one has them write the sight words and color the mittens, while the last one has them write the whole sentence on their own.
Slippery Sight Words:
This center is to practice reading and matching sight words. They will match the penguins with the correct ice block, then write the words on the recording sheet.
Snowball Sort:
We’re really working on identifying medial sounds in our CVC words! Vowel sounds sure are tough!! The kiddos will sort the snowballs into the right pail by listening to the middle sound.
The recording sheet has them write the correct vowel in each box. My fast finishers will use the words and write sentences on a whiteboard when they’re done.
Roll, Read and Cover:
Roll the sight word dice, read the word on your mat and cover it up!
I used to make sight word dice from these templates…
but they never last long enough! I’m so glad I found kiddocubes! They make making dice games SO much easier!
So there you have it! You can pick up these centers and the math centers in my TpT shop!

I’m working really hard to learn as much as I ca I’m working really hard to learn as much as I can about discrimination and racism and how to help teach my own daughters and my students how to continue making a change and moving in the right direction. I’m still learning. I make mistakes, and I learn more and more every single day. @misselgendy shared this post from @halpey1 and it really resonated with me. I thought it showed a great way to get your students involved in how they can help, not just on MLK day, or during Black History Month, but every day. Sometimes as a teacher and as an “influencer”, I feel pressured to do and say things that I’m not 100% confident with, but I’m learning. Just like I tell my students, continue to learn and continue to try your best. ❤️❤️❤️
