Kindergarten October-Themed Math and Literacy Centers

What do cooler weather, decorations, and excited children have in common? They are all a part of the month of October! October is a great time of year in the classroom. Both teachers and students are used to the routines of the school day, and things are running a little more smoothly than they were in August and September. The weather gets a little cooler, and we decorate our house (and maybe our classrooms too!) for fall and Halloween. To celebrate learning during the fall, we love our October-themed kindergarten math and literacy centers.

The children are excitedly bouncing off the walls with the first mention of candy, costumes, and October 31st. But while October is full of fun, there is also a lot of learning that must be done! We dive into pumpkins with our stacks of books all about pumpkins and “fill” our wheelbarrows with pumpkin CVC words and editable pumpkin sight words.

We can’t even think about this time of year without exploring Halloween themes. These October science experiments are spooktacular and entertaining. Our kindergarteners love rhyming with bats and working on numbers, letters, and their fine motor skills with these bats. We add in Halloween STEM activities throughout the month to get us excited and engaged.

I like to start off each school day of the month by giving my students a page to work on from our October Daily Literacy Review Journal, the perfect morning work! And on the same note, I use our October Daily Math Review Journal pages as a transition into our math block or as a way to end math. They are the perfect little grab-and-go activities! 

At this point in the year, we can better understand our students’ individual needs so we can meet them where they’re at. This means I am always looking to differentiate my materials and find the best ways to make learning fun and attainable for my students. This is why I use these Kindergarten October Math and Literacy Centers. This bundle is full of my favorite October kindergarten activities and will help you make the month even more exciting for your students!

Celebrate learning this fall season! Dive deep into our October-themed kindergarten math and literacy centers.

October Fun: Engaging Pre-K Math and Literacy Centers

October is a pretty exciting time of year. I get to decorate my house (and my classroom) with pumpkins and everything fall and Halloween. I get to eat and drink pumpkin spice-flavored treats. And I may even get to put on a sweater if this Texas weather cooperates and cools off a bit. The only people who love October more than me? My students! As we’re looking to nurture young minds throughout this month, I like to use these Pre-K Math and Literacy Centers. They combine the joy of the season with exciting learning.

I don’t know about you, but something about the anticipation of wearing costumes and getting candy keeps my kids at a level ten of excitement all month long. Instead of fighting it, I choose to play into it. I fill my classroom with October-themed games, fall crafts, and Halloween books to make our learning fun. 

I teach about pumpkins with this explore a pumpkin activity and use easy activities like this jack o’lantern memory game to practice whatever skills my kids need to review. I shelve my own fear of spiders to teach my kids all about them with this exciting spider science unit. I even use spaghetti to make this spider sensory bin. We decorate the classroom with these super fun bats to get my students really excited about learning in October! 

Another trick I have up my sleeve during October is making every learning activity we do either fall or Halloween-themed. That’s where these Pre-k Math and Literacy Centers for October come in. These centers give me so many options to make learning fun for my students while also fitting in with my theme for the month. These October learning activities will give your students a chance to show what they know this fall!

Using the Pre-k Math and Literacy Centers for October

After you purchase and download the October-focused math and literacy activities for pre-k, look through the digital folders to see everything that you now own! You’ll find that each subject has different categories, and each category has four different centers, or sets of materials. All of the centers come in both color and black & white, and we offer multiple options for many of the activities to make differentiating based on your students’ needs easier. 

We always suggest making lists and then piles of what needs to be printed, copied, laminated, and cut. We highly recommend laminating as much as possible so that you can reuse the materials next October, too. 

When it comes to using the pre-k math and literacy centers for October, there is no rule book. You can introduce one of each type to your students per week or show them a chunk of them at the beginning of the month. You can use some of the materials in centers, some in small groups, some as whole group activities, or you can even stash some away for sub plans. Many teachers use some of the categories as morning work or early finisher work too. 

No matter how you choose to utilize the centers in your classroom, just make sure to teach and model each center to your students as explicitly as possible to ensure they can eventually complete them independently. Setting clear and concise expectations around each type of center will make it easier for students to understand and give you more of a chance to work with small groups, or whatever it is you choose to do while your students are busy in their centers.

September Kindergarten Math and Literacy Centers

The start of the school year is hard to describe to anyone who hasn’t experienced it before. The only people who truly understand what we go through during August and September are other teachers. In Texas, we start school in early August, so by September, we’re already cruising along. I like to use our Kindergarten Math and Literacy Centers to support my teaching throughout the month. I find it helpful to have curated centers that coincide with the season!

Since we spend so much of August practicing routines and learning procedures, we’re ready to kick things up a notch by September. One of my favorite things about September is that I get to teach while using adorable fall themes. In science, we explore apples with this science unit and become little scientists with these September science experiments.

I put apple activities like this editable sight word game and this number match in my centers or morning work bins. Students enjoy building their names in an apple bucket and playing this fun apple pick and color activity. And we work on fine motor and scissor-cutting skills with this apple craft.

Now that the kids are back into a routine at school, we really want to encourage learning as much as possible. So I’m always looking for creative ideas for math and literacy centers that will find my students having fun while learning. This is why we created our September Kindergarten Math and Literacy Centers. These centers are a must-have for any kindergarten classroom this fall. You’ll love how easy the centers are to use, and your students will love how much fun they have while using them!

Kindergarten Math and Literacy Centers designed to spark curiosity this September. Turn every lesson into a memorable learning journey.

September Kindergarten Math and Literacy Centers

The September learning centers for kindergarten include 20 math and 20 literacy centers to use with your students. There are five categories of literacy centers and five categories of math centers. In each category, there are four centers to choose from. The centers are easy to explain to your students, giving you the chance to work with small groups or with students one-on-one while the rest of the class works on the centers. 

Now I may be a bit biased, but I’d say that these are the best math and literacy centers for kindergarten in September! Where else would you get 40 centers, all decorated with adorable clipart and themes perfect for fall, that are also engaging and exciting for your students? 

Included in the September Kindergarten Math & Literacy Activities

20 Kindergarten Math Activities:

  • Write & Wipe Activities
  • Dice Games
  • Write the Room Activities
  • Math Match-Ups
  • Math Puzzles

20 September Literacy Centers:

Kindergarten Skills Covered in the September Literacy Activities

  • Writing, Poetry, Sequencing, Sight Words, Beginning Sounds, Rhyming, Letter ID, Alliteration, Color Words, Syllables, and more!
Kindergarten Math and Literacy Centers designed to spark curiosity this September. Turn every lesson into a memorable learning journey.

Using the September Learning Centers for Kindergarten

Once you purchase and download your centers, it’s time to get started! You’ll be able to look through all five categories for each subject of centers. From there, you can make a list of which centers you need to print, copy, laminate, cut, etc. If you don’t think you’ll use all of the centers, you can always print a copy and put them in your sub folder! 

One thing that makes these centers great is that there is no one “right” way to use them! Maybe you do math centers and literacy centers at different times of the day, and you can use all of the centers during those times. Maybe you have one center time that includes both subjects, so you might pick and choose which centers to use. Or maybe you’ll put some of the activities in centers and use some of them, like the poetry and write the room activities, as whole class instruction and activities. Make these kindergarten resources work for you and your classroom!

Whichever way you choose to use them, make sure to explicitly teach and model the activities for your students so that they can learn to be independent with them. Set yourself up for success by laminating the reusable pieces, so that you will have them ready for the following September as well!

September always comes around way too fast. One minute, I’m enjoying a hot summer day by the pool in July; the next, it’s September, and we’ve been in the classroom for almost a month.  I really enjoy September in the classroom. The chaos of August and the back-to-school season has begun to subside, and I feel that my students and I know each other a little bit better. One way we get ready for the month is with these 1st Grade Math & Literacy Centers. They’re filled with engaging activities that are easy to prep.

Another perk of September is that we get to welcome the season of fall! We love celebrating the start of fall with some of these read-alouds and this exciting fall bingo game. We dive into language arts with our apple writing center and apple blends match-up. Maintaining the apple theme, we work on addition and subtraction with this editable activity. The month wouldn’t be complete without some seasonal science added in. My students have a blast with these four September science experiments and this apple boats STEM experiment.

I start and end the day with daily literacy and math journals to ensure my students keep their math and literacy skills sharp. I pull out the September Daily Literacy Journal each morning for a quick morning work/check-in activity. The September Daily Math Journal is perfect for either an exit ticket at the end of the day or to end my math block. The ease of using journals like these is so helpful. If you haven’t tried them, I would highly suggest giving them a shot!

And speaking of things that we love using in the classroom, we are really big on hands-on learning over here, which is why we spent so long creating these engaging 1st grade math and  literacy centers for September. These centers are full of fun, fall-themed math and literacy activities that will transform your classroom into the best place to be this fall.

Using the September 1st Grade Math and Literacy Centers

After you purchase and download the September math and literacy bundle of centers, you’ll now own 40 centers to use with your students. Because 40 centers can be a lot, we’re here to offer some guidance on how to best use, and how to set up, the 1st grade math and literacy centers in September. 

First, you’ll want to look through each center that’s included. If you’re not by your printer, make a list of the centers that you want to print. Look through the different variations of each center and decide if you’ll use the color or black and white version, and which recording sheet, or level of activity, you’ll use with your students for the centers that have multiple options for differentiation.

Once printed, organize your centers in piles or folders of what needs to be copied, laminated, cut, etc. We highly recommend prepping these centers the month ahead of time so that you’re not rushed. When you look through the centers, you’ll see lots of adorable fall themes that are perfect for September. But some of the centers could definitely fit in other months as well, so feel free to store something away for sub plans, etc., if you don’t plan to use all 40 centers during this month. 

There are two more pieces of advice that I can offer. Number one: laminate as much as possible to make them last so you can reuse them next year. Number two: explicitly and clearly model the centers for your students before letting them go. Trust me, they will do great once they understand the directions and your expectations. 

Last but not least, don’t forget to be excited about these centers for your students and to have fun with them! The best part about integrating math and literacy centers into 1st grade September curriculum is that it makes every day a little more fresh and exciting.

Hands-On September Math and Literacy Centers for Pre-K

I love September in the classroom! We start school in August, so by the time September rolls around, everyone is finally in the swing of things, and my classroom is running smoothly. Well…as smoothly as possible! I boost my pre-k curriculum with these Hands-On September Math and Literacy Centers. Curated, engaging, and perfect for the start of the school year.

We spend a lot of time studying apples, fall, and other fun themes during the month of September. We enjoy decorating our classroom with apple-themed activities. Our room looks so cute with these paper plate apples and paper bag apple crafts. We use apple alphabet puzzles as a hands-on way to practice identifying letters, and we build our names with apples using this editable name activity. Plus, my students love to do this apples science unit, especially the taste test part! 

As we get further into September, I introduce the season of fall with this fall season science unit. It helps everyone get excited and curious about the new season. This interactive reader is also great to throw into your lesson plans, or to leave with a substitute too! 

And while I could study apples and fall all day long, we do have to squeeze in some math and literacy somewhere during the day. That’s where these hands-on September Math and Literacy Centers come in! This resource will take your center rotations to the next level where everyone will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize they’re learning.

How to Use the September Pre-K Math and Literacy Centers

Enhancing pre-k learning with these September Math and Literacy Centers is a guaranteed way to get your students learning, all while having fun. But how does one prep, manage, and store 40 centers for one single month? Let me share some of my favorite tips!

After you purchase and download the September centers, take a look at every center. Send the ones you know you’ll use for sure to the printer, or write down the file names to easily locate them at another time. Make piles of what needs to be copied, laminated, cut, etc. My greatest suggestion is to make sure you prep the centers ahead of time; don’t wait until the night before! Another great idea is to print off whatever you don’t think you’ll be able to fit in and put into your substitute folder/bin. 

All of this prep work may sound intimidating at first, but trust me, putting in the work now, especially printing on cardstock and/or laminating anything that can be reused, will make your future self SO grateful.

Most importantly, always make sure to model the centers and give your students clear examples of what’s expected of them. After the first few times, your students will be pros. And this will be even more helpful if you decide to do this every month by grabbing the full year of pre-k centers!

These centers work great in a pocket chart center, a rug center, or any table where the pieces can be spread out. 

Elevate your Pre-K teaching toolkit with Hands-On September Math and Literacy Centers. Fresh approaches that captivate and educate budding scholars.

Write & Wipe Centers and Puzzles

Puzzles and write and wipe centers are so easy to set up and fun for the kids to do. I definitely suggest making these sturdy with cardstock and lamination, but the write and wipe activities could also be put in a page protector. As always, we’ve given you black and white options in case you want them to be consumable. The September write and wipe activities for pre-k literacy are focused on writing skills. One activity will have the students tracing lines and working on grip, control, and other pre-writing skills. The other write and wipe activity is focused on tracing uppercase and lowercase letters. Your pre-k students will be ready to write after working on these two activities! The two September literacy puzzles were made to practice upper and lowercase letters and rhyming words. 

Write the Room 

Have you used write the room activities with your students before? The first time is a little crazy, something about giving them all that freedom makes the classroom a bit hectic, but after a few times, they get into the routine of the activity and love the independence of it. The four literacy write the room activities for September cover skills like identifying letters versus numbers, beginning sounds, matching uppercase and lowercase letters, and counting syllables. These fun fall pre-k literacy activities will be a great addition to your classroom this September! 

Experience the difference of Hands-On September Math and Literacy Centers for Pre-K. Fostering early skills through interactive learning adventures.

Writing

We can’t get enough literacy around here, so of course, we made sure our September centers are packed with autumn-themed pre-k literacy ideas. Our writing centers for September come with four sets of word cards, each covering one of the following themes: feelings, fall, community helpers, and apples. You’ll also receive writing center materials to use with your students this September (and any other time of year) that include writing and drawing papers, alphabet charts, and more. Even if your students are just drawing, scribbling, and/or dictating stories, it’s never too early to create a productive writing center in your classroom! 

Poetry Centers 

Last but not least is my FAVORITE part of the literacy centers: the four poetry centers! It can be difficult to find poetry that is appropriate for our littlest learners, which is why we’ve created 3 original poems and taken one familiar nursery rhyme for you to use with your students. This month’s poems are all about September, ice cream, and school, and your students will have a blast reading and listening to these simple poems. Each poem comes with pocket chart materials, a poetry notebook to work on, and a poetry journal. A lot of teachers choose to use these resources as whole-class lessons and activities, but putting them in a center works too, especially if you read them to your students first and get them familiar with the poetry. You and your students will love using these pre-k September poetry centers. 

From counting to reading, Hands-On September Math and Literacy Centers for Pre-K offer a fun learning approach. A September to remember for young learners.

August 1st Grade Math and Literacy Centers

For most of us, August brings with it the end of summer vacation and the start of the new school year. I get so excited to set up my classroom and meet my new students, and it’s a fun, fresh start. To boost our students learning and to make education fun, we’ve created these easy-prep August 1st Grade Math and Literacy Centers.

As soon as my new crop of first graders comes through the door, the fun (and the learning) begins! We ease our way back into the classroom and work on fostering kindness and making great choices. We dive into reading some of my favorite back-to-school read-alouds from this list. Then I introduce enticing and engaging activities, such as this back-to-school bingo game and these first grade back-to-school digital games.

When the new school year begins, I immediately help my students turn their “school brains” back on after a long summer break. I use review materials like these August math journals and August literacy journals as morning work and daily review practice to get the kids back into the swing of things. 

As soon as my students are comfortable in the classroom, I introduce my small group and centers routines. I find it works well to pull my students into small groups as soon as possible. It helps us all get to know each other better and to build comfort levels and confidence in the classroom. In order to be able to pull small groups, I must have something for the rest of the kids to be working on. That’s why we use the August Math and Literacy Centers for First Grade. These August-themed math and literacy centers for first graders are a must-have in the classroom for the back-to-school season!

Discover engaging August Math and Literacy Centers for 1st Grade. Boost learning and make education fun with our easy prep centers.

With so much to choose from, you can keep your centers engaging and fresh so that your students stay focused on their tasks. You can use all of the centers in your center/station rotations, or you can use some of them as whole-class activities as well.

Using the First Grade Math and Literacy Centers for August

After you purchase and download the first grade centers for August, you’ll immediately be able to look at all 40 centers and make a plan for using them. I always recommend making note of which ones you want to use and when you’ll use them. Then you can figure out which resources you need to print, copy, cut, laminate, etc. For example, there are four literacy write the room activities and four math write the room activities. I would grab my planner and map out where I would fit each one in over the month and jot it down. 

My greatest prep suggestion? It might seem like a lot of work, but print as much as possible on cardstock and or laminate after printing so that you can save and reuse the centers for many Augusts to come! You will be super grateful next year when you already have so much prepped! 

When it comes to introducing the centers to my students, I always make sure to set clear and concise expectations for how to use each type of center. 

With August being the first month of the school year, I spend extra time teaching the procedures of each center, modeling the activities, and explaining my expectations. I even give the kids a few “practice rounds” where I am not working with anyone while they’re in their centers, just observing and helping with reminders and instructions. Putting in the effort now will help your centers run smoothly for the rest of the school year. Because, of course, I’m using the full year of first grade centers, not just August!

Math Puzzles and Match-Ups

These August-themed math centers for first grade come with two puzzles and two match-up activities. These activities are great for a center, morning work, or even work for early finishers. Once I laminate my puzzles, I make them self-checking by putting colored dots or numbers on the back. The puzzles and match-up activities for August cover skills like addition and subtraction to 12, skip counting, and representing numbers to 20.

Write & Wipe Activities

Write and wipe activities couldn’t be any simpler. Just print and laminate, or stick in a dry-erase sleeve/page protector, and you’re good to go. Give your students dry-erase markers and erasers (or put those old socks that have lost their match to good use) and send them on their way. This is one of those centers where setting expectations beforehand is crucial so that you don’t end up with a bunch of dry-erase scribbling on all of the write and wipe activities. I try to give my students the opportunity to “play” or “free draw” on whiteboards at other times during the week so that the temptation is lessened during center time. The August first grade write and wipe activities will help your students practice graphing, 1 more/1 less, subtraction, and number order. Developing math skills in August has never been easier than with these centers!

Back-to-School with August Math & Literacy Centers for Pre-K

August is almost here! And with August comes the first day of school! No matter how long I do this, I always get so excited each year to set up my classroom and meet my new crop of students. But before then, explore these engaging August Math & Literacy Centers for your Pre-K students. They are perfect for back-to-school preparation and fun end-of-summer learning.

To start off the school year, I enjoy sending home these welcome notes to get my students excited for the year to come. We start our first few days of school with this Kissing Hand cookie activity. We review all of our new school supplies with these cute clip cards and have tons of laughter and fun with back-to-school bingo. While August is exciting and fun, the learning starts ASAP when the kids get into my classroom! We work on foundational skills with hands-on activities like this pencil name building project and this simple shape pencil craft.

I introduce the letters of the alphabet using all sorts of great resources, including these uppercase alphabet posters. And since I love to get my students learning the routines that we’ll be using all year long as soon as they start school in August, I don’t waste any time teaching digital learning stations with these August back-to-school digital games. 

Speaking of routines, one of the most important routines I teach my students immediately is our centers routine! I use centers all year long to help my students practice their skills in a more independent way, while giving me the freedom to work with students one-on-one or in small groups. These August Math and Literacy Centers for Pre-k are the perfect centers to start with!

Kickstart August: Kindergarten Math & Literacy Centers

For us, August means it’s time to go BACK TO SCHOOL! We start the school year during the first week or two of the month. It might still be hot out, but we’ve had a few months off to do all of the summertime things, so when August rolls around we’re ready to jump back into the classroom! Well…maybe not “ready”, but it is what it is, so we make the best of it! These August Kindergarten Math & Literacy Centers are the perfect way to end summer and start the new school year.

I love the excitement of setting up my classroom and meeting my new students. Before my students arrive for their first day, I pass out, or send, this back-to-school confetti to ease those first day jitters. Once they come to the classroom, I do fun activities with them like this back-to-school bingo. We read The Kissing Hand and make these adorable Chester the Raccoon envelope puppets. To ensure we start the year off on the right foot, we play this fun school supplies sort game. And I throw some math with our back-to-school First to 20 activity and review numbers with these School Supply Clip Cards. Our students are having so much fun, they’re learning without realizing they’re learning!

I always start the most important routines right away so that the kids have plenty of time to get used to them. I introduce daily journal practice with these August math and August literacy journals. I also make sure to do one science experiment a week using these August Science Experiments. And one of the most important routines that I incorporate right away is our center routines. These August Kindergarten Math & Literacy Centers are the best way to kickstart the school year and to introduce centers to your new class!

I use centers to keep my students busy and learning while allowing them a bit of independence. Using centers gives me the chance to pull students into small groups and it makes me feel good to know that the rest of my students are learning and having fun with these back-to-school activities. These August centers are my favorite since they are the first ones I introduce to my new class of students. You’ll definitely want to use these centers right off the bat this school year to create a functional centers routine with your class.

Using the August Kindergarten Math & Literacy Centers

With 40 math and literacy centers to use in August with your kindergarteners, it is totally understandable to feel overwhelmed. We have some suggestions to make things easier for you! The first year of prep takes the longest, but prep smart, and next August you’ll have almost everything already ready to go! 

  • Prep the centers ahead of the first day of school! After purchasing and downloading the centers, decide which ones you’re going to use as centers, which ones you might save for whole group instruction, etc. 
  • Once you check out the available centers, plan out your prep work. Make a list of what needs to be printed, copied, laminated, cut, etc. We always suggest printing things like the write and wipe activities, the puzzles and match-ups, the writing cards, and the write the room cards onto cardstock and/or laminating so that you can reuse them each August. 
  • Remember that there is no right way to use these! Teachers use these August kindergarten activities in several different ways. Some teachers use the puzzles and match-ups for morning work, some use the poetry materials as whole group lessons, and some only use the black & white copies to make them consumables. Make the centers work for you! 
  • Most importantly, make sure to model the centers explicitly and set clear expectations for all of the different types of centers you will use.This is so important, especially in August, since you’ll be setting the expectation for the entire school year!

Pre-K Ocean Habitat Science Unit

The ocean is such a magical place! I travel to the beach at least a few times a year to soak up some of that ocean magic for myself. Luckily, I can also bring this magic into the classroom with all the wonderful resources available to discover the ocean. Exploring the ocean can be so fun for our littlest learners! That’s why I created this Pre-K Ocean Habitat Science Unit.

We can start off by introducing the topic of the ocean with this collection of ocean read-alouds and these I See Ocean Animals Interactive Readers. Then we add in some math with our Ocean Count and Clip Cards. My students are thrilled with any activity that is hands-on, so I like to engage them in learning about the ocean with this ocean sensory bin sort activity. We enjoy crafts like this J is for Jellyfish activity and we fit in as many of these ocean animal crafts as possible. 

But to really make my students understand the ocean habitat and marine life, I use this Pre-k Ocean Habitat Science Unit. This unit is full of interesting and engaging materials that peak my students’ interest and make the magic of the ocean come alive inside the classroom. Our Pre-K Habitats Mega Bundle will give you 9 different habitats. If you’re looking for a more advanced ocean unit or wanting to differentiate take a look at our Kindergarten Ocean Habitat Unit.

Dive into an exciting Pre-K Ocean Habitat Science Unit, exploring marine life and the wonders of the ocean. Engage young learners with hands-on activities and educational experiences.

Dive into an exciting Pre-K Ocean Habitat Science Unit, exploring marine life and the wonders of the ocean. Engage young learners with hands-on activities and educational experiences.

Using the Pre-K Ocean Habitat Science Unit

After you purchase and download the Pre-k Ocean Habitat Science Unit, you can look at all the available materials and begin to make plans for implementing the activities into your own classroom. You can use our provided lesson plans as a starting point, or pick and choose the materials that work best for you. Once you decide what pre-k ocean materials you’ll be using, make a plan or begin to print, prep, and copy the materials. We always suggest printing things that can be reused, like the writing center, definition posters, centers,  etc., on cardstock and/or laminating them so that they last longer. To help you understand all that is included in this unit, let’s take a deeper look at the ocean science materials!

Ocean Unit Overview

All of our science units come with a unit overview that gives you a glimpse of everything that is included in the unit and suggestions on how to use the materials. The pre-k ocean overview features six pages of unit information to help you when planning your unit study.

Lesson Plans

In all of our science units, we provide week-long lesson plans to help guide you in structuring the unit. In this pre-k ocean life science unit, you’ll receive a week of ideas for teaching. You can use the lesson plans as written, or you can take inspiration and ideas from the plans and make it work for your own science time.

At-Home Letter

We are always looking for ways to get families involved in their child’s learning. That’s why we provide a half-page at-home letter that gives families a quick overview of what their child is currently learning about in science and one or two ways that they can connect to the topic at home. I send these letters home either the first day of the unit or at the end of the week prior.

Teacher Guide

Since we don’t expect you to be an ocean habitat expert, we’ve put together some interesting facts and information that will help you when you’re teaching this unit. I like to read through the teacher guide before starting the unit, so I’m prepared when little hands shoot up to ask me things I may not know about the ocean habitat!

Science Center and Science Questions

Use our provided science center suggestions and science questions list to engage your students in hands-on learning and discussions about the ocean habitat. These are great for getting your students to use their critical thinking skills.

Sensory Bin

Who doesn’t love a good sensory bin? My pre-k kids go crazy for anything that is put into a bin – or a bucket, or a box – that I tell them they can play with. This unit includes directions for making a sensory bin that will have your students excited to explore the ocean habitat and sea creatures.

Book, Video, and Song Lists

I don’t know about you but when I’m teaching a new topic, I am always searching for songs, books, and videos related to the subject that I can play or read in transition times or as the “hook” in our daily science lesson. That’s why we’ve created lists of some excellent ocean habitat books, videos, and songs for you to refer to while teaching. 

Discover the magic of the underwater world with our Pre-K Ocean Habitat Science Unit. Engaging lessons and fun-filled adventures await as children explore the ocean and its diverse ecosystem.

Ocean Science Lesson Content:

Ocean PowerPoint and Posters

To introduce the ocean habitat, we’ve created a PowerPoint with matching printable posters that includes age-appropriate facts about the ocean habitat. Students will be drawn in with these real-life pictures and being able to see ocean life up close! 

Anchor Chart Materials

Throughout the unit, your students will be learning more and more. We’ve provided an anchor chart header and seashell template for you to make an anchor chart to add facts to all week long. Have students help you write new pieces of information onto seashells and add it to the chart. This can also be used before the unit to assess what students already know.

Ocean habitat animal match center

Animal Match Center

After using the Ocean PowerPoint and posters to learn about the ocean habitat and the animals that live there, we’ve created an animal match activity that can be used in a center to have students practice identifying animals that live in the ocean.

Ocean Emergent Reader

The ocean emergent reader in this unit includes real-life pictures and some of the facts from the PowerPoint and posters so that your students can review what kinds of things they would see “under the sea!” This reader is great to put in your reading, or library, center.

My Habitat Book for prek students

My Habitat Book

After spending a few days learning about the different plants and animals that reside in the ocean habitat, students can complete a habitat book to show what they’ve learned.

Habitat Slider

I love using visuals to review information, which is why we created habitat sliders for all of our habitat units. With these sliders, students can remember which plants and animals call the ocean habitat home.

Animal & Plant Cards

And since you can never have too many visuals, we’ve added picture cards of the ocean animals and plants to be displayed on the board, in your writing center, science center, or on each table for students to refer to during the week.

Prek ocean habitat hat

Ocean Habitat Hat

We are suckers for educational hats! After students explore the ocean habitat, they can show what they’ve learned (to everyone they pass!) by making and wearing an adorable ocean habitat hat. 

Ocean Habitat Craft

No matter what I’m teaching, I always find a way to fit a craft in! The ocean habitat craft is a great way to culminate the unit or to use anytime “just because.” We provide directions and templates, and there are even options to add writing to the activity.

Ocean habitat writing unit for prek students

Bonus Materials:

Writing Center

So much learning occurs when we give our students a little guidance and then send them on their way. I do this with my writing center. I’ll put up word and picture cards on a certain topic and provide paper for writing and drawing and let the kids create! This pre-k ocean habitat unit comes with word and picture cards, plus different paper options for you to offer to your students.

Definition Posters

With any new topic comes a lot of new vocabulary, which is why we offer definition posters in all of our science units. Use the ocean habitat definition posters to hang up in your classroom and refer to them as you encounter new vocabulary throughout the unit. 

Word Wall

With both lowercase and uppercase options, you can add our ocean habitat vocab words to your word wall as you introduce new words. 

Prek ocean unit circle map

Circle Maps

Circle maps are a fun type of graphic organizer that can be used in whole group, as individual work, or in small groups. You can use our ocean habitat circle maps at the beginning of the unit to see what your students already know about ocean life science, or as you go through the unit to display your students’ knowledge. Of course, if you don’t have writers yet, students can draw on the maps or you can complete it as a class.

The Ocean Habitat song

Habitat Song

The unit comes with posters and lyrics of an ocean habitat song, perfect for you to use as your transition throughout the unit and the week. I like to put a copy in my reading or library center for students to practice with.

Hands-On Dinosaur Science Unit for Kindergarten

I love incorporating science into my curriculum as much as possible. But with the demands put on us teachers to cover all of the math and literacy standards, it can be hard to find the time to fit science into the school day. And often times our school districts don’t supply us with a science curriculum to follow, or the one that they do provide is quite dull and not engaging enough for our young learners. Our Hands-On Dinosaur Science Unit for Kindergarten is one my students always get excited about!

We are constantly creating and updating our vast collection of science units for pre-k, kindergarten, and first grade. We enjoy designing units that can be used as a whole unit or can be split up and used as supplemental activities to your own curriculum. 

When it comes to teaching science to my kindergarteners, I always start the year with this I am a Scientist science unit. It encourages my students to think like scientists and get excited about the topics that they’ll be studying throughout the school year. My students look forward to fun science experiments such as this M&M rainbow experiment and this magic milk science experiment. They enjoy these experiments so much that I try to do at least four a month with this science experiment pack. 

I’m sure your kindergarteners love animals as much as mine do, so I always incorporate plenty of animal studies throughout the year. This bats animal study is a hit around Halloween and who wouldn’t want to study reindeer in December with this unit? 

And if reindeer and bats sound intriguing to you, wait until you hear about the number one fan-favorite unit of every class I’ve ever taught…

Dinosaurs!

Want to know the secret to getting all of your students, even the ones who are rarely interested, engaged and excited about learning? Teach this hands-on dinosaur science unit!

Teacher Guide

Since we know that you might not already be a dinosaur expert, we’ve done some digging for you and wrapped up a bunch of cool dinosaur facts in this teacher guide. Use this guide to give yourself some background knowledge on dinosaurs and to pull out fun facts when students want to know even more about these prehistoric creatures.

Science Center and Science Questions

Use the science center guide to help you set up an engaging science center that encourages dinosaur exploration, and use the provided dinosaur and science questions to engage your students’ critical thinking skills.

Book, Video, and Song Lists

When I’m teaching a certain topic, I love to fit in as many books, videos, and songs about the topic as possible. That’s why we’ve created these clickable book, video, and song lists, full of some great dinosaur resources to use during the unit.

Kindergarten Dinosaur posters

Use this simple reader to help students review the dinosaur facts they are learning. This reader is great to use in small groups, to put in the reading center, or to send home with each child.

Types of Dinosaurs Posters

Chances are, the second you start teaching about dinosaurs, some of your students are going to want to share their favorites. We’ve equipped you with this set of posters detailing some of the most popular types of dinosaurs and their stats. 

Dive into a prehistoric adventure with our Hands-on Dinosaur Science Unit for Kindergarten. Engaging activities and fascinating dinosaur facts will captivate your young learners.

Dinosaur Research Writing

After teaching students about the different types of dinosaurs, use these research writing pages to have them share facts about what they’ve learned.

What Do Dinosaurs Eat Sort

Learning about dinosaurs is a great time to discuss herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Use this sort to discuss the differences between plant-eating and meat-eating dinosaurs.

Paleontologist PowerPoint and Posters

I can pretty much guarantee that after this unit you’ll have some little ones who will want to become paleontologists someday. Use this PowerPoint and a matching set of posters to teach your young students about paleontologists and what their job entails.

Cookie Excavation Activity

After reading “Digging Up Dinosaurs”, engage your students in one of my favorite dinosaur activities for kids: the Cookie Excavation Activity. This hands-on dinosaur science activity is an easy prep. All you need is a pack of cookies and some toothpicks to give your students a “real-life” excavating experience!

If Dinosaurs Came Back Writing

After reading the story “If the Dinosaurs Came Back”, have a discussion with your students about what the world would be like if dinosaurs were still alive. Use the writing response sheets for students to write and draw what they imagine life would be like.

Dinosaur Writing Center

Another way to fit dinosaur-themed classroom activities into the day is with this dinosaur writing center. With both word and picture cards and differentiated writing pages, your students can write and draw fiction and non-fiction sentences and stories about dinosaurs.

Dinosaur Skeleton Posters

Your students will love doing fossil activities during this unit, and these posters are the perfect way to make your students really understand what the bodies of the dinosaurs looked like. My students are always amazed when I pull up a picture of a dog or cat skeleton to compare with the dinosaur ones.

Dinosaur Hook Decor

Including a poster for your door and a footprint template to use on the floor, use this decor to kick off your hands-on dinosaur science unit and to get your students excited to start learning!

Definition Posters

Throughout the unit, there will be a lot of words that might be new to our littlest learners. Use these definition posters to explain the meaning of some of the dinosaur vocabulary words that you’ll be using throughout the unit.

Types of Dinosaurs Emergent Reader

This simple reader goes through the names and pictures of the most popular types of dinosaurs. Your students will be itching to color their own and take the reader home to share with their families.

Word Wall

As you teach new dinosaur vocabulary throughout the week, use our provided word wall cards to display the words that you’re learning. You can keep them in a pocket chart or put them on your word wall. 

What am I? Emergent Reader

This fun reader asks the students questions to see if they can figure out the dinosaur being described in the book! Your students will surely love trying to guess. I put this reader in my reading center for the students to read over and over again.

Dinosaur Bingo

Y’all know by now that we can’t get enough of a good bingo game. So of course we had to make a dinosaur bingo game to go along with this unit. Dinosaur bingo is the perfect way to culminate the unit, or store it away and pull it out on a random rainy day or any day that you need a bit of excitement! 

Label a Triceratops for kindergarten

Label a Dinosaur Activity

After learning about different types of dinosaurs, we’ve created labeling sheets for students to practice showing what they’ve learned about the giant creatures. This activity can be done as a whole group or individually.

Dinosaurs could, has, was activity

Dinosaurs “Could, Had, Was” Activity

After learning about dinosaurs, have your students complete these Dinosaur Could-Had-Was papers with what they have learned about each dinosaur. This can be done independently, in a whole group, or as a brainstorming activity before the Dinosaur Research Writing activity mentioned above.  

Build your own dinosaur craft

Build Your Own Dinosaur Craft

Give your students the provided shape pieces and a blank piece of paper and send them on their way to create their own dinosaur using the shapes. They can even add a sentence to extend the activity and draw a background as well.

Kindergarten dinosaur circle maps

Circle Maps

I use circle maps as graphic organizers with my students, either in a whole group setting or as independent student work. Circle maps can be used before teaching about dinosaurs to see what students already know, or after teaching so that students can draw and write about what they’ve learned.

Salt Dough Dino Fossil Activity

As part of the STEM dinosaur activities for kindergarteners in this unit, we’ve provided you with a recipe for salt dough to use with your students. After making the dough, challenge students to create their own fossils that look like the real ones that have been shown throughout the unit.

Dinosaur Egg Experiment

There are a lot of hands-on dinosaur science experiments to use with kids out there, but this dinosaur egg experiment is one of my favorites. Your students can pretend to be paleontologists while taking part in this experiment that only needs basic, common materials to complete.

End-of-Year 1st Grade Math and Literacy Centers for June

The end of the school year is upon us! The kids are distracted with their excitement for summer and we teachers are, to put it mildly, busy. We’re trying to pack up our classrooms, finish assessments, and figure out plans for next school year, all while struggling to keep some semblance of learning happening in the classroom. Teaching at the end of the year is not for the weak. Head into summer prepared with our End-of-Year 1st Grade Math and Literacy Centers for June.

Luckily we’ve been here before and know all of the best tips and tricks for making it work. We give our students fun math activities to work on like these whale subtraction clip cards and kite addition puzzles. And to bring in some literacy with a summer theme, we work on our summer syllable sort and fill their “basket” with this strawberry long and short vowels activity.

We keep our students’ math and literacy skills sharp with these daily math and daily literacy review journals. We utilize our access to technology and have our students work on these June Google Slide activities. So we can keep the learning going throughout the summer, this first grade summer review is perfect for individual work in the classroom or to send home with students.

One of my favorite ways to keep my students busy and learning during the month of June is to continue centers and stations throughout the month. Keeping the same routines that they’ve followed all year long helps everyone stay focused and on task. I use these 1st Grade Math and Literacy Centers for June in the classroom whether I am in the regular classroom or the summer school classroom. 

Discover engaging activities in our End-of-Year 1st Grade Math and Literacy Centers for June. Tailored for student success and summertime readiness.

Discover engaging activities in our End-of-Year 1st Grade Math and Literacy Centers for June. Tailored for student success and summertime readiness.

Using the End-of-Year 1st Grade Math and Literacy Centers

The 1st Grade Math and Literacy Centers for June come with 40 centers to use with your students, which is a lot. We know that you’re super busy already and don’t have any time to waste, so we thought we’d offer our favorite tips and tricks for using these centers. 

  • Once you purchase and download the centers, look at everything that comes inside the zip file, especially the directions. Make a list of centers that you’ll definitely be using and any other thoughts or notes that come to mind at first glance.
  • Make a plan to prep the centers. Figure out what needs to be printed, copied, laminated, and cut. We highly suggest laminating as much as possible to make prep easier for the following year since a lot of materials can be reusable. 
  • Once you know the centers that you’ll be using, make a plan to roll them out to your students. If you have our other months of centers, your students will already be familiar with the format. All you’ll have to do is show them the new centers and remind them of the directions! If this is your first month using our centers, make sure to explicitly model and teach each type of center so that when you give them to your students, they can work as independently as possible. 
  • Remember that there is no right way to use these centers. You can use some of the activities as whole-class work or even in small groups. Make the centers work for you!
  • Don’t be afraid to differentiate as needed! Make the puzzles self-checking, use the different recording sheets for the write the room activities, etc. As much as we try to make the centers as well-rounded as possible to meet the needs of first grade teachers around the world, we know that every class of students is different and you may need to modify for your students to thrive.
  • Don’t forget to think ahead to next June! Print things that can be reused like the write and wipe activities, roll and cover game, writing cards, pocket charts and match ups, etc. on cardstock and laminate for future use.

These write the room centers are definitely some of my favorite summer literacy activities since they cater to my classroom full of kinesthetic learners! 

Writing

Our writing centers come with four sets of writing cards that cover seasonal topics and age-appropriate writing materials for your students to work with. Your students will love writing and drawing about construction, actions, camping, and summer with the June writing cards.

Jump into June with Kindergarten Math & Literacy Centers

Do you spend June in the classroom? For some, June is already summer break, but for many others, it’s just another month in the classroom. With June signifying the last month of school for a lot of people, it means that classrooms are being packed up, materials are being stored away, and assessments and paperwork are being completed. This means that it’s imperative to keep our kindergarten students learning and busy all month long. Explore these June Kindergarten Math & Literacy Centers, designed to engage young learners and make education fun!

Since we are welcoming in summer this month, we get ready for the new season with these June-themed science experiments and summer STEM activities. We work on our literacy with summer blend puzzles and an ice cream CVCE word building activity. And while we’re having a blast with ice cream themes, we can add in some math with this number match-up.

Since June falls at the end of the school year, I love to use these daily literacy and daily math journals to review the skills my students have worked hard on all year long. And for those times when you just need a moment of peace and quiet but want your students to still be working on something meaningful, these June Google Slides are the perfect digital activity.

And since we are trying to keep a class full of students, who are more focused on summer than anything else, engaged in their learning, it’s super important that we keep our centers and stations fun and exciting. That’s why we use these June Kindergarten Math and Literacy Centers. They have everything you need to ensure learning and fun are happening in the classroom all month long!

But trust me, these June kindergarten learning centers are worth the work. Plus, once you prep them for this year, next year will be a whole lot easier. 

To start, after you purchase and download the centers, make sure you look through everything you have at your disposal. Some teachers like to make a list of the skills and centers and which ones they definitely want to use. These end-of-year centers can be used in centers or stations, or even as whole-group or small-group activities. 

After you decide which centers you want to use and for what, start printing or make a list of what needs to be printed. Separate printables into piles of what needs to be laminated, copied, cut, etc. As you do this, make a note of what could be printed on cardstock and laminated to save for future years. This will cut down prep time in the future and your future self will greatly appreciate it!

Exploring the Dino World: Pre-K Dinosaur Science Unit

I love teaching science! Now don’t get me wrong, teaching literacy will always have my heart and math can be pretty great too, but there’s just something about science. I think it’s the way the kids’ faces light up when they explore something new and exciting. Or how we can engage even the trickiest of learners in hands-on science activities. This Pre-K Dinosaur Science Unit is packed full of engaging lessons to inspire our youngest learners.

Most pre-k teachers don’t have a school-provided science curriculum, so we’re left to find and plan our own materials. If you are a teacher that does have a provided science curriculum, chances are it might not be the most intriguing, so you’re looking to supplement anyway. 

This is why we have spent so much time creating engaging and enriching science materials. We can dive into physical science with this Matter Science Unit and read our favorite books about matter. We explore earth science with our Space Science Unit and decorate our room with this foil-printed moon craft. We also have a whole year’s worth of science experiments that are perfect for fun Fridays or even for at-home activities with your own children. 

We have digital science games like this five senses activity or this apples digital activity. We also have created more than 50 animal study science units to engage our student in hands-on learning and exploration about their favorite animals, like this Polar Bear Animal Study or this Bats Animal Study. We even have a whole unit dedicated to teaching our young learners about science itself and being a scientist. 

When we create science units, we’re always brainstorming ideas that support your curriculum and meet the standards, all while being fun so your students are learning without even realizing they’re learning. That is why we created this Pre-K Dinosaur Science Unit that teachers and kids alike will adore.

Families love to be involved with what their child is learning at school. Send this letter home to engage families and help them continue the dino science at home!

Teacher Guide 

Since you may or may not be a dinosaur expert already, we’ve put together some basic and some not-so-basic facts and information about dinosaurs for you.

Science Center

Use this idea and instruction sheet for building an engaging science center for your students to participate in hands-on dinosaur science!

Help your pre-k students make some text-to-self connections with this writing activity. After reading the story “If the Dinosaurs Came Back”, discuss with your students what it would be like if dinosaurs were here today.

May-Themed Math and Literacy Centers for First Grade

Depending on where you teach, May might be your last month of school! Or it might be the long month leading up to your last month of school. Our last day of school is in May, so we spend the month packing up the classroom and celebrating the end of the year, all while continuing to make learning meaningful for our students. This can be done with our engaging May-themed Math and Literacy Centers for First Graders, designed to help them develop essential skills while enjoying seasonal activities.

During May, we help our students celebrate their mothers, or other important women in their lives, with activities such as this Mother’s Day flower gift. We read our stack of books all about Mother’s Day and even make a sweet I love Mom thumbprint craft.

We use spring-themed activities like these time clock puzzles to keep our students busy. To reinforce our math skills, we practice addition with these frog puzzles and work on both subtraction and addition with our sunflower math activity. We dive deeper into the month with our May science experiments and these spring books. 

Since it’s the end of the school year, we are always looking for ways to keep our students practicing and reviewing the skills that they’ve been learning all year. I use this May Literacy Journal and this May Math Journal, both made for first grade, to help my students show what they know. 

If you’re looking for a guaranteed way for your students to practice their previously learned skills, these May-Themed Math and Literacy Centers for First Grade are your best bet. These May centers will not only keep your students busy while you pack up your classroom, but they’ll also be having so much fun that they won’t even realize they’re learning.

Using the May Centers

This collection of spring math and literacy activities for first grade comes with 40 centers to use with your students this May. Forty centers might sound overwhelming at first, so let me share some of our favorite tips for using these spring educational resources with your students. 

  • After you purchase and download the centers, take inventory on what you have. Look at the different types of centers and the various centers of each type. Make a list, if not printing right away, of which centers you want to print out. 
  • Make a plan of what needs to be printed, copied, laminated, and cut. Figure out which centers can be made reusable so that they don’t need to be prepped again every year.
  • Decide how you’ll use and introduce the centers. Maybe you will show students one version of each type of center a week. Or maybe you’ll decide to use some centers as other types of activities. Remember, there is no “right” way to use these, make the first grade May learning centers work for you!
  • Remember to model each center for your students and to set clear and concise expectations for what you expect from them during center time. These activities are repetitive and your students will become more independent after doing them a few times.

Fun-Filled May Math and Literacy Centers for Pre-K

I love the month of May in the classroom, and no, it’s not only because it’s the last month of school for us! As spring blossoms, our Pre-K curriculum is enriched with seasonal themes that foster curiosity and collaboration. We like to dive into this wonderful time of year with our May Math and Literacy Centers for Pre-K. Designed to captivate the imagination of young learners, these interactive centers offer a range of engaging activities.

During the month of May we celebrate Mother’s Day by making this sweet thumbprint craft and reading some of these stories together. We engage in learning through flowers with this flower name-building activity and by identifying ending sounds with this flower match-up. 

To culminate this final month of spring, we practice counting with these insect mats and play our Spring Bingo game. And to connect science with the season, our little scientists create this water cycle in a bottle.

Our students are busy reviewing all of the skills they’ve learned throughout the school year. I love to use these May Google slides for a no-prep review station. Most of all, I love using these May Math and Literacy Centers for Pre-k with my students all month long. These pre-k seasonal centers will have your students having so much fun, they won’t even realize they’re learning!

Using the Pre-K Math and Literacy Activities for May

We understand that downloading 40 centers at one time can be a bit intimidating, so we’ve gathered some of our favorite tips to help you best utilize the May pre-k activities:

  • Once you purchase and download your centers, look through each center type and the different activities that you get for each one. Write down or make a note of the ones you want to use. 
  • Make a plan to print, copy, laminate, and cut the centers that you’ll be using. Doing it all at once might be time-consuming, so splitting the work up into chunks may be your best bet. Separate what needs to be copied, laminated, cut, etc. into piles.
  • Think ahead. What should be printed on cardstock and/or laminated so that you can make it reusable and save it for years to come? Deciding this ahead of time can help your future self greatly!
  • Decide how you’ll introduce the centers to your students. Will you do one center type at a time or one of each type every week? It is totally up to you! Make these May activities work for your instruction. 
  • Make sure to model each center for your students and to set clear and concise expectations for each center type. This will help things run more smoothly when students are utilizing the materials!

Writing Center Materials
Writing centers are great for sparking our students’ imaginations and seeing their creativity shine through. I love to put writing and drawing papers in my center with different themed word cards and encourage my students to draw anything they’d like. The writing center is great for pre-k skill development, since I encourage them to identify some beginning sounds to write when they draw or tell a story. I’ll even scribe stories for some of the students so they can bring their work home and remember their ideas. The May writing center materials come with four sets of writing cards covering these themes: dinosaurs, ocean, space, and the zoo.

Bloom & Learn: May Kindergarten Math and Literacy Centers

The month of May in the classroom can be both magical and mayhem. On one hand, May is the last month of school for many of us, and if it’s not, it’s at least close to the end of the year. This brings excitement, relief, joy, and all of the other feelings one may have when looking forward to the end of the year. But on the other hand, with May being the final weeks of school for so many of us, it brings with it absolute chaos. There are assessments to be done, class projects, shows to put on, parent conferences, and the list goes on and on. These May Kindergarten Math and Literacy Centers help turn chaos into learning fun!

During this hectic month, it’s important that we keep our young learners busy. So we make cute projects for Mother’s Day like this Mother’s Day flower craft or this Mother’s Day thumbprint art. We explore learning through flowers with activities like this sunflower addition and subtraction center or by building flowers with sight words. And there’s no better way to explore the month of May than reading some of these books from our bugs and insects collection.

Since we’re approaching the end of the year and we need as many engaging activities as we can get, I love to do at least one of these May science experiments a week to keep everyone interested and excited about learning. To show what they know, our students practice the math and literacy skills that they’ve learned all year with these Daily Math Journals and Spiral Literacy Journals. 

But the best tool of all for keeping our kids busy and learning during the month of May is to utilize these May Kindergarten Math and Literacy Centers. These centers have everything you need to keep your students engaged during May. They are a much-needed addition to your May lesson plans! 

Discover engaging May kindergarten math and literacy centers designed to help young learners bloom and grow. Explore fun, hands-on activities perfect for springtime learning.

Using the May Kindergarten Centers

This pack of spring kindergarten centers is full to the brim with engaging activities to keep your students learning all while having fun this May. After you purchase the May Kindergarten Centers, you’ll want to download and take inventory of all 40 centers. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

  • Look through the centers ahead of time. Make a list of the centers you intend to use and either print or add to a list of things to print. Next, you’ll have to make copies and laminate some of the materials, if that’s what you decide to do. We always suggest laminating anything that can be reused to help your future self! 
  • Plan out how you will use the centers. Will you put them in your stations all at once or introduce one of each type at a time every week? There is no “right way” to use these activities, so utilize them however they best fit into your classroom instruction.
  • Make sure to explicitly model each center for students to help eliminate questions and problems down the line. Set clear expectations for each center type and let students practice a few times with your guidance before setting them free!

Pre-K Earth Day Science Unit: Teaching Sustainability Early

Each year in April, we celebrate Earth Day. Teaching sustainability to young children in pre-k classrooms is not always the easiest, but we do our best to instill the importance of taking care of the earth at a young age. So we’ve created this Pre-K Earth Day Science Unit to give our students a head start.

Throughout the month of April we learn all about ways we can take care of our planet. We read Earth Day books and work on our literacy skills with this Earth Day emergent reader.

We find exciting activities to make learning fun. One of my students’ favorite games is Earth Day bingo, where the laughter is contagious. Our little learners play with these editable puzzles and complete this Earth Day print and craft activity. 

We know that teaching environmental awareness to pre-k students through hands-on activities will be the most successful strategy, just like with anything that we teach. This is exactly why I use this Pre-K Earth Day Science Unit with my students! Our youngest learners have so much fun while learning through these sustainability lessons for pre-k on Earth Day.

The start of spring is a magical time of year. Flowers are blooming, the weather is warming up, the sun is shining, and the end of the school year is creeping closer by the day. To kick off the season let’s celebrate with these Pre-K April Math and Literacy Centers!

During the spring, a lot of changes occur In the classroom, for both teachers and students. There are great things about spring in the classroom, like how connected the students are and seeing them grasp concepts and skills that they’ve been working on all year. But there are also tougher parts, like that everyone is a little *too* comfortable with each other, and tricky behaviors can show up out of nowhere. Plus, everyone, including me, is tired. 

The good news is this: there are so many wonderful themes and topics to cover in the spring that it’s easy to make the days a little more upbeat! To welcome spring we look at all the flowers around us beginning to blossom. We create our own flowers with this potato painting craft and build our names out of flowers.

As Easter nears, these Easter keepsake crafts are great projects for students to bring home to parents and family. We also make these bunny fingerprint crafts to display on a bulletin board for spring. Kids take so much pride in seeing their creations displayed!

We can also engage our students in some springtime science. To introduce the weather changes, our little scientists do the water cycle in a bottle experiment. We use this Rabbits Animal Study for Pre-K to connect animals with the season. It’s an exciting time learning about our fluffy little friends with this easy-prep unit.

Later on in April, we learn about and celebrate Earth Day. This Earth Day Science Unit for Pre-K is an age-appropriate way to teach our littlest learners about helping the earth. And we keep learning new things about our planet with our collection of Earth Day books.

And of course, all spring long we keep our centers and stations filled with Easter, Earth Day, and springtime fun. I like to have one digital station where I use these Pre-K digital games for Google Slides. The April pre-k centers are so adorable and the kids love reviewing skills this way. 

As for the rest of my centers, I never miss a month of using my math and literacy centers. These hands-on April Math and Literacy Centers for Pre-K ensure that your students will be so entertained they won’t even realize how much they’re learning.

Using the April Pre-K Centers

40 centers is a lot, I know. But, you don’t have to use them all at once! You can split them up in whichever way best works for you. You can use one variation of each type of center a week, or you can pick and choose your favorites. With these spring-themed pre-k math and literacy activities and games, your options really are endless. Here are some more tips to get you ready to use your Pre-K April Math and Literacy Printables: 

  • After purchasing the centers, look through the full month of centers for each subject and write down what you want and plan to use. Make a list of what needs to be printed, copied, laminated, cut, etc. Doing this the month ahead is always a good idea!
  • Think about what will help your future self the most. Printing on quality paper and laminating will help you have a lot less prep work to do next year. 
  • Decide how you will introduce the centers. Will you show all four weeks of each center at one time? Or will you show your students each center as you go through the month, maybe only a few a week? Whatever you decide, there is no wrong choice!
  • Most importantly, model and set expectations clearly for each type of center. Assist students during the first few rounds of using the materials before giving them more independence. You can even do centers as whole group activities the first time around before allowing students to use them in small groups. 

No matter how you implement these centers in your classroom, there is guaranteed to be a lot of learning and excitement going on all month long!

Spring into Learning: April Math and Literacy Centers for Kindergarten

The season of spring is like taking a breath of fresh air. The days are longer, the flowers are blooming, and the weather is improving with every day that passes. April is such an exciting time in the kindergarten classroom! With spring in full swing, my students are full of energy and enthusiasm for learning. That’s why I incorporate these April Math and Literacy Centers for Kindergarten throughout the month.

Do your students love storytime? My kids look forward to gathering on the carpet to listen to a story. I always keep a basket of themed books near the rug and this list of spring read-alouds has some of my favorites for this season. I like to follow up on our spring stories with nature-inspired activities. This easy spring fingerprint craft and our Spring Flower Potato Painting Activity are easy to prep and the final products make for the perfect spring bulletin board in the classroom. 

And while it is only April, the end of the school year is slowly creeping closer. I use spring activities for learning, like this April Literacy Journal, each day to help my students review their previously learned skills from earlier in the year. We can also practice and review skills with these editable puzzles when we celebrate Earth Day. Other Earth Day activities like this science unit help our young learners understand the importance of caring for the Earth. We always throw in some games with a seasonal theme; one of our student favorites is Spring Bingo. The giggles are contagious!

Keeping our kindergarten students learning while having fun this spring is made easy with these April Math and Literacy Centers for kindergarten.

Remember there is no “right way” to use the centers, you can pick and choose which ones to use with your students and go from there. Here are some tips to get you started: 

  • After you purchase the centers, take a look at each set and write down what you plan to use. Figure out what you need to print out, copy, laminate, and cut. It’s always best to do this the month ahead, if you can. 
  • Remember that the first year of using these April kindergarten centers will be the most time consuming, but you can help out your future self by printing some of the centers on cardstock and laminating them for repeat future use. 
  • Think about how you will introduce all the centers and activities to your students. Will you introduce one set a week? Or all at once? Remember, it’s whatever works best for you and your students! 
  • Make sure to model and set clear expectations for the centers. Model each math and literacy activity explicitly and assist students the first time in the centers.
