Help Your Little One Prepare for Pre-K and Kindergarten Series (Part 1: Largest and Smallest Practice)

As summer arrives, our little ones will be heading to Kindergarten in just a few short months. So this series was born! We all want our little one to be prepared and successful in Kindergarten. So for each week in June, July, and August, you'll find a quick activity to do with your little one to help get them ready. This practice is also beneficial for parents with three years and four years to prepare for Pre-K or help them in Pre-K.

Gingerbread Roll-a-Letter (Free Download)

 I hope this post finds you well! I have a free classroom resource for you to download and use with your students or share with your families to practice at home. All you need to do is print and find some dice. A student rolls the die and identifies the lower case letter in the row of the die they roll. The set has two different versions of the Gingerbread Roll-a-Letter. I have more sets listed under the picture that are also free for download! If you have a request, please let me know in the comments.

December Themed "Would You Rather" Roll Call Questions

Get to know your students with a quick and easy "Would You Rather" daily roll call question. Simply post the question of the day and as you take the roll, students answer the "Would You Rather question. You can take it a step further and ask a few students to explain their reasoning. I kept a checklist, so I knew all students had the opportunity to explain their reason further several times a month. 

Another reason I love the "Would You Rather" roll call question is because every student starts the class with a question they can answer and there is no pressure. It breaks the ice and gets the class going.
