My Kinders were busy not only with holiday activities, they were hard at work last week practicing important skills with our Literacy Stations and Skill Spots.
 |
| Our Independent CD Books Skill Spot is a favorite for listening to reading. |
 |
| All of our Skill Spots, Skill Tubs, and Centers have books. The kids love to practice reading books - which they read to me during our "Book Club" time so that they can contribute a dollar to our Heifer International Read to Feed program. **Update** In response to our Day of Giving Challenge (click on this link to watch our AWESOME video), our wonderful middle/high school students, spectators at the 2/2/13 basketball game, two local businesses, and an anonymous donor we greatly surpassed our goal of raising $1000 dollars... In one day our little community raised $6426.72!! |
 |
| Looking for letters. I have several of these write on - wipe off pockets with poems in them available for the Kinders. This little boy is looking for the letter r. |
 |
| Popcorn Word Wall. This bulletin board features all of the sight words from our reading series written on popcorn shaped note paper. |
 |
| Sight word spelling in a table top pocket chart. |
 |
| Pocket Chart Skill Spot. I have several pocket charts hanging on clothing racks (much cheaper than the real ones) in this Skill Spot. These boys are working on making numbers with the smiley face counters. |
 |
| "This" Writing Station. In this station, the kids practiced writing the word this and wrote sentences using the word. I think by now everyone can spell this! |
 |
| Word Work Station. In this station, from The Mailbox, the students sorted -an and -ap word family picture and word cards. They also did a worksheet featuring the word families (not pictured). |
 |
| Kinders love to write with dry erase markers! I laminated the cards from the above station to make them wipe-off for reuse. |
 |
| A file folder center from Lakeshore Learning gives additional CVC word practice. |
My listening center just broke and I was looking into getting individual CD players for that center! Where did you get all your players from? I am your newest follower!:)

Live, Laugh, I love Kindergarten
Thanks for following! I'll check out your blog as soon as I'm done with this reply. :) I got the CD players from Classroom Direct(school.specialty.com) They have help up pretty well - I've had them for about four years. To make using them easier for the kids, I colored the play button with a green Sharpie, and the stop button with a red marker. I don't give them the original CDs - I burn a copy of each book's CD. I can always make another copy if one gets scratched.
