Are you a Valentine’s Day fan or are you someone who thinks it’s just a made-up holiday to boost flower and greeting card sales? I, for one, LOVE Valentine’s Day because I love love, and I love celebrating, so why wouldn’t I love to celebrate love?!

Before we reach Valentine’s Day, we start off the month learning about and celebrating Groundhog Day. We make fun crafts like this paper plate groundhog craft, and we work on counting with our groundhog first to twenty mats. We learn all about groundhogs with this collection of books and this science unit. The Groundhog Animal Study unit is packed full of engaging February pre-k activities that the students will love. 

After Groundhog Day, we jump right into everything Valentine’s related! I make different versions of this heart-matching puzzle activity that will help my students review both math and literacy skills. Using it for number recognition is one of my favorite heart-themed math activities! 

We also make this thumbprint craft to hang on a bulletin board or send home as decoration. It’s the easiest Valentine’s pre-k craft that works on fine motor skills too! 

After Valentine’s Day, we make sure to celebrate Dental Health Month by learning all about taking care of our teeth with this science unit. I told you there were SO many topics and themes to study during February!

Another way I love to use all of the themes and celebrations in February is to incorporate them into my math and literacy centers. That’s why we made these Math and Literacy Centers for Pre-k! 

These centers take all of the fun February themes and use them to help our little learners practice and review crucial math and literacy skills. Plus, they’re easy to use, and the students LOVE getting each new center. 

February Pre-k Math and Literacy Centers

The center bundle comes with 40 February pre-k activities for math and literacy for you to use with your students. That’s right, FORTY! That’s a lot of centers. 

You’ll have 20 math and 20 literacy centers to use during the month. Best of all, the centers are concentrated around early education February themes and can be used as more than just centers! 

These creative February learning activities for pre-k math and literacy will help make February fly by. Not to mention how much they’ll help your students review their skills in a FUN way on a daily basis.

Using the February Pre-k Centers

Once you purchase and download the center bundle, you can look through everything that you now own! You’ll notice how each subject is broken into five different categories of centers, and then there are four centers within each category. 

Once you have taken a peek at the centers, make a list of what needs to be printed, or better yet, print them out immediately! Once printed, you can organize your materials into piles of what needs to be copied, laminated, cut, etc. We always recommend laminating as much as possible so that you can reuse parts of the centers each and every year without re-printing everything. 

Next, you can decide how you want to use the centers. They are created to have one type of each center per week in the month, but some teachers enjoy using them all month long. Additionally, many teachers use some of the centers, like the poetry centers or write the rooms, as whole-class lessons and activities. 

No matter how or when you choose to use the materials with your students, our greatest piece of advice is to model, model, model! Show your students exactly how to use the materials and let them know your expectations. This will help your students become more independent with the centers over time.

Suggested Materials:

• Copy Paper
• Laminating Sheets
• Dice
• Dry Erase Markers
• Erasers
• Write the Room Clips

February Literacy Activities for Pre-k

Pocket Chart and Match-Up Activities

A pocket chart and match-up center is always fun! If you don’t have a pocket chart, just use a space big enough for your students to spread out the pieces, like on a table or the floor. The four February pocket chart and match-up centers include a beginning sound match-up, a letters-words-pictures sort, a sentence scramble activity, and a sequencing activity that students can use to practice retelling the steps of mailing a valentine. These Valentine’s literacy activities will surely make your students forget that they’re even learning! 

Poetry Center

Our poetry centers come with four poems, three original monthly-themed poems and one familiar nursery rhyme. The materials include notebooks and posters, plus pocket chart pieces for retelling. The poems for February are Humpty Dumpty, a poem about groundhogs, one about a polar bear, and one about Valentine’s Day. These pre-k February reading activities are perfect for whole group instruction, centers, or a mix of both! 

Writing Center

The February writing centers come with four sets of word cards that cover these topics: dental health, ice cream sundaes, pets, and Valentine’s Day. Additionally, the center includes differentiated writing pages for your students to use to draw and write all month long! 

Puzzles and Write & Wipe Activities

The February literacy activities come with two puzzles and two write and wipe centers. The activities cover skills including letter ID, initial sounds, ending sounds, and rhyming. The puzzles are great to use in a center or as early finisher work, and the write and wipes come with a black and white version in case you want to use them as February and Valentine’s Day worksheets instead. 

Write the Room

If you are looking to encourage movement around the classroom this February, the write the room centers that come inside this bundle are perfect for you! Write the rooms are an innovative way to teach pre-k math and literacy in February, and this bundle comes with EIGHT of them. The four literacy write the room centers cover these skills: alliteration, beginning sounds, compound words, and syllables.

February Math Centers for Pre-k

Dice Games 

I love dice games because they are so easy and simple to prep! All you need is the game and some dice. The February centers come with four fun Valentine’s Day pre-k games including a “Build a Love Bug” game, a color-by-code activity, a roll and cover or color game, and a roll and graph game. 

Partner Games

If you’re looking for more simple pre-k math games for February, then the four partner games that come in this center bundle are going to be your favorite! Your students can review math skills while working with a partner and playing a card game, board game, race to 10 game, and a spin and cover game.

Puzzles and Match-Ups

If you haven’t noticed yet, I’m pretty excited to tell you all about these centers. I truly think that exploring math and literacy fundamentals with these pre-k February centers makes learning and teaching so much more fun! And that doesn’t stop with the math puzzles and match-ups that are in the bundle. The puzzles will help your students practice counting and sorting by color. The match-ups include an activity to practice patterns and a shapes match-up that will fit in perfectly with your February shape lessons for pre-k. There are so many different ways you can incorporate these centers into your daily schedule!

Write and Wipe Centers

One of my favorite center types in the bundle is the write and wipe activities. I love that I can laminate them, or put them in page protectors, and have the kids reuse them again and again. I also love that I can print out the black & white versions and send them home for extra practice or use them as consumable worksheets. The four math write and wipe centers will help your pre-k students practice adding, number sense, sorting, and subtracting. 

Write the Room

Remember when I told you that you would have EIGHT write the rooms when you download this bundle? Well, the first four were for literacy but now we’re talking math! These February pre-k math centers will have your students moving around while practicing measuring length, working with ordinal numbers, identifying and building patterns, and subtracting.

Make February a month of discovery with Pre-K math and literacy centers. Engage young minds with playful and hands-on learning!

The post February Learning with Pre-K Math and Literacy Centers appeared first on A Dab of Glue Will Do.

We start off the month by recovering from Halloween. Then, we begin to discuss and learn about Veteran’s Day. We talk about and explore the importance of the day with this Veteran’s Day Emergent Reader.

After Veteran’s Day, we start to prepare for Thanksgiving! I just love this holiday. There is something about taking the time to think about and discuss everything that we’re grateful for that just fills my heart with so much joy. Our littlest learners share their gratitude with this I Am Thankful turkey activity and our thankful turkey craft. Books from this collection of Thanksgiving stories are a great way to start the conversation!

My favorite November learning themes include turkeys, hayrides, pumpkins, scarecrows, and football! But I especially like focusing on turkeys. In science, we learn all about wild turkeys in this animal study. We enjoy our turkey pre-k centers with activities like this turkey name building. And of course we have to make something adorable to send home before Thanksgiving break. This paper bag turkey craft is always a hit! 

When it comes to reviewing math and literacy skills with my students during this time of year, I never use anything other than these November Pre-k Math and Literacy Centers. The centers come with everything I need to make learning fun during November. The activities are truly the best math and literacy centers for pre-k in November, and your lesson plans for the month will be so easy to fill up!

November Pre-k Math and Literacy Centers

You will be well equipped to explore pre-k math and literacy in November with this center bundle. The bundle comes with 40 November pre-k learning activities, all ready to print and prep to use with your students. 

You’ll have 20 math centers and 20 literacy centers at your disposal, with five different categories of centers to choose from within each subject. A great thing about these centers is that so many of them can also be used as whole group lessons and activities if you run a smaller center rotation and don’t have room to put so many activities out. These November resources for pre-k math and literacy will have your students reviewing skills all November long without realizing how much they’re learning!

Included in the November Pre-k Centers

4 weeks of November Literacy Centers for Pre-k:

Using the November Pre-k Math and Literacy Centers

Once you purchase and download the bundle of November pre-k centers, you’ll be able to look through everything that you now own! 

I always suggest starting off by looking through and familiarizing yourself with everything and taking notes of what you plan to use right away. There are so many options within each resource, including both color and black & white versions, so it’s a good idea to look through and decide which option you’re going to print and use. 

Once you make a list and start printing, separate the activities into piles of what needs to be copied, laminated, cut, etc. Remember that the more activities you laminate to reuse, the less prep the centers will be next year! 

Probably the best piece of advice I can give you when using these centers to review your pre-kindergarten November lessons is to model, model, model. Model how to use each type of center for your students, and set clear and concise expectations for using them. This will help your littlest learners be more independent while they are working and playing.

Pre-k Literacy Centers for November

Literacy Write the Room Centers

The four literacy write the room centers that come inside the pre-k literacy centers for November cover these skills: alliteration, beginning sounds, uppercase letters, and compound words. These fun autumn pre-k literacy activities will have your students out of their seats and learning! 

Literacy Puzzles and Write & Wipe Activities

The November literacy centers for pre-k come with two puzzles and two write and wipe activities. The two puzzles will help your students review alliteration and letters. The two write and wipe activities will help them review letter sounds and rhyming. These centers are great to laminate and reuse year after year. 

Writing Center Materials

The center bundle comes with four sets of writing cards to keep your November writing center fresh and engaging all month long! The topics of the cards include Family and Friends words, Thanksgiving Food words, Then and Now words, and Woodland Animal words. You can put these word cards in your writing center with the differentiated writing paper options that we provide to you, and then let your students use their imagination to create incredible November-themed drawings and writing!

The November poetry centers come with four complete poetry sets. Three of the poems are original poems written about Veteran’s Day, turkeys, and gratitude, while the last poem is a familiar nursery rhyme. Each poetry set comes with a poetry journal and notebook full of age-appropriate activities and materials, as well as a pocket chart activity to go along with the poem. 

Pocket Chart Activities and Match-Up Activities

Pocket chart and match-up activities are fun hands-on learning activities for kids of all ages, but especially for our pre-k little ones! The November activities include a sequencing activity where students can practice retelling the steps of cooking a turkey, a sentence scramble activity, an editable sight word hide and seek game, and an initial sound match-up game. 

Pre-k Math Activities for November

Math Write the Room Centers

There is no such thing as too much turkey math for pre-k, right? Right! The four November write the room math activities are way more exciting than just having your students remain seated to do a couple of November math worksheets. The write the room activities will help your students review comparing size, sorting same or different, ten frames, and writing numbers.

Math Write & Wipe Activities

Write and wipe activities are perfect for math because the kids can practice the skill over and over again which helps them better retain their new knowledge. The four November math write and wipe activities review these skills: drawing a picture to match a number, numbers to 10, shapes, and sorting what doesn’t belong. 

Math Puzzles and Match-Up Activities

The two math puzzles and two math match-up activities are going to be your new favorite hands-on math centers for pre-k in November. You’ll love how much fun your students will have while they’re reviewing equal groups, numbers, counting, shapes, and patterns. 

Dice Games

I love to use simple games in the classroom that help my students review their math skills. These dice games are perfect for that! The center bundle includes a Build a Turkey game, a Color by Code game, a Roll and Cover/Color game, and a Roll and Graph game. Many of these games can be made reusable so that you don’t have to prep each year!

The post Explore November with Pre-K Math & Literacy Centers appeared first on A Dab of Glue Will Do.

I love to engage my students in exciting activities from this collection of Halloween STEM ideas. With all the excitement that comes with October, STEM activities are perfect for giving the students a chance to work together to complete festive challenges. We dive more into science with our apples and pumpkins science units.

To celebrate everyone’s favorite October holiday, we play several rounds of this Halloween bingo game. It gives my students a chance to practice their listening skills, and it is great to play when you have parent volunteers come in! To keep with the Halloween theme, we engage in some gross and spooky fun with this blood cell model science activity and read as many ghost and goblin Halloween books as we can.

Like every other month, we work on our literacy skills with this review journal. I also love to use the October math journal as a way to transition to the next subject of the day. The October worksheets that come in this journal are an excellent way to help my first graders practice the math concepts that we’ve been busy learning. 

I’m always looking for new and exciting ways to help my students review their math and literacy skills, and I’ve found that the best way to revisit the skills taught during my October first grade lessons is through centers and stations. But not just any October math and reading stations. No, I use the best bundle of centers there is! Our October Math and Literacy Centers for First Grade are a must have during this busy, pumpkin-filled month!

October Math and Literacy Centers for 1st Grade 

This center bundle comes with 40 first grade center activities. With 20 literacy centers and 20 math centers to use with your students, you won’t have to go searching for learning activities at all this month. Best of all, each center has adorable, October-themed clipart to make each activity more exciting and enticing for your young students. 

The centers are split into five categories for each subject, and each category has four different centers in it. The centers can be used as station activities, small group materials, or even as part of your whole-group instruction. There really is no wrong way to use them. And trust me, you’ll be grateful to have so many incredible, age-appropriate, monthly-themed activities to use with your students!

The post 1st Grade Adventures with October Math and Literacy Centers appeared first on A Dab of Glue Will Do.

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!

The center bundle is separated into neat and tidy digital folders for each subject and center category. You can look through each center and either print or make a list of what needs to be printed, copied, laminated, and cut.

Kindergarten October Math Centers

So you’re following your school’s curriculum and all the best practices on how to teach math to kindergarteners in October, but how do you make those lessons stick? One word…centers! These 20 October and fall-themed math activities will help your students review and practice their math skills. 

Write the Room Centers

If you don’t use write the room activities in your classroom, now is the time to change! Write the room centers allow students to move around the classroom and answer questions or solve problems. Sometimes, the change in scenery is exactly what your learners need to make a concept “stick.” The October write the room math centers cover these skills: 2D shapes, counting and writing numbers to 12, counting on, and ten frames. 

Write & Wipe Centers

I always tell anyone who will listen that write and wipe activities are a must in the classroom! Made reusable by laminating or putting in a page protector, write and wipe centers help kids practice math and literacy skills by giving them a chance to complete a task over and over again. The four math write and wipe activities for October will help your students review making and recognizing equal groups, putting numbers in order, measuring height, counting, and comparing numbers. 

Puzzles and Match-Ups

The two math match-ups and two math puzzles that come in this bundle will make your October math centers more exciting. The puzzles will allow your students to practice matching numerals to number words and counting and matching numbers to make equal pairs. The two match-ups review sorting and counting on. 

Dice Games

If you’re looking for fun and interactive October math centers for your young learners, these dice games are perfect!

Your students will love learning with these activities, and you’ll love how easy they are to prep!

These math games for October are a must-have for your math centers!

The post Kindergarten October-Themed Math and Literacy Centers appeared first on A Dab of Glue Will Do.

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! 

Pre-k Math and Literacy Centers for October

These Pre-k Math and Literacy Centers for October come with 40 pre-k math and literacy centers to use with your students. You’ll get 20 literacy centers and 20 math centers, all themed with fall and Halloween clipart. There are a lot of centers to choose from, but luckily, many of them work as whole-class activities as well in case your centers fill up quickly. With easy-to-understand directions, your pre-k students will be having so much fun with these centers that they won’t even realize they’re learning.

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. 

Suggested Materials

• Dry Erase Markers
• Erasers
• Write the Room Clips
• Laminating Sheets
• Dice

Write and wipe activities are fun for all ages! The four October math write and wipe activities will help your students practice subitizing, identifying what doesn’t belong, recognizing colors, writing numbers, and representing a number with a picture. These are meant to be laminated or put in a page protector but also come with black & white versions if you want to use them as consumable printables.

Partner Games

Autumn learning made captivating! Explore our October-themed math and literacy centers crafted especially for pre-k success.

The post October Fun: Engaging Pre-K Math and Literacy Centers appeared first on A Dab of Glue Will Do.

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!

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:

• Literacy Puzzles and Write & Wipe Activities
• Poetry Centers
• Pocket Chart and Match-Up Activities
• Writing Centers
• Write the Room Centers

That’s 40 must-have September educational activities for kindergarten, all wrapped up for you in one neat bundle!

Kindergarten Skills Covered in the September Math Activities 

• Graphing, Counting On, Numbers to 10, 2D Shapes, Subitizing, Patterns, Measuring, Positional Words, Comparing Numbers, Sorting, Number Order, and more!

Kindergarten Skills Covered in the September Literacy Activities

• Writing, Poetry, Sequencing, Sight Words, Beginning Sounds, Rhyming, Letter ID, Alliteration, Color Words, Syllables, and more!

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! 

Materials Needed for the September Kindergarten Math and Literacy Centers

• Dry Erase Markers
• Erasers
• Write the Room Clips
• Laminating Sheets
• Dice

Kindergarten Math Activities for September

Write the Room

Write the room activities can be used as a center or as a whole class activity! These activities are my students’ favorites because they love getting to use clipboards and roaming around the room. The four math write the room centers for September will help your students practice comparing numbers, putting numbers in order, completing patterns, and sorting and graphing. 

Write & Wipe Activities

The four September write and wipe math centers cover skills including 2D shapes, counting, writing numbers, measuring, and working with positional words. Our write and wipe activities are perfect for laminating or putting in a page protector and using a dry-erase marker, but they also come in black and white if you’d rather use them as a consumable. 

Partner Games 

Our partner games come with a board game, a card game, a spinner game, and a race to the top game. The four September math games will help your students practice adding, working with patterns, subitizing, and number order, all while having fun playing games with their classmates. 

Math Match-Ups and Puzzles 

Match-up activities and puzzles are great for repetitive practice for our little learners. You’ll get two math puzzles and two math match-up activities in the September centers. The two match-ups will help students review shapes and subitizing. The two puzzles review numbers to 10 and counting on. Your students will have a blast this fall with these math activities! 

Dice Games 

How fun does it sound to “build a scarecrow?” Your kindergarten students will have a great time using these September math games, and you’ll love how easy they are to prep. All you need are some dice! The dice games include a build a scarecrow activity, a color by code activity sheet, a roll and cover/color game, and a roll and graph activity. These games will help your students review color words, subitizing, and numbers 0-10. 

September Literacy Centers

Literacy Pocket Chart and Match-Up Activities

Looking for interactive September literacy centers for kids? Well, these centers have got you covered! In the September center bundle, you’ll get two literacy match-up activities that practice sight words and beginning sounds. You’ll also receive two pocket chart activities. The pocket chart activities include a sequencing activity where students can practice retelling the steps of raking leaves and a sentence scramble activity where students can unscramble September-themed sentences. Both pocket chart activities include a writing component as well. 

Poetry Centers

The September math and literacy centers for kindergarten come with four weeks’ worth of poetry centers. You’ll get posters for four different poems, three original poems written by us and one familiar nursery rhyme. Each poem comes with a poetry journal and notebook for your students to work with, plus pocket chart pieces. Don’t have a poetry center already? No problem! Use each poem together with your whole class, and pick and choose which activities to have your students do after reading. 

Write & Wipe Activities and Puzzles 

The two September write and wipe activities for literacy are covered in adorable fall clipart and review literacy skills, including counting words in sentences and identifying beginning sounds. The two literacy puzzles will help your students practice rhyming and matching uppercase and lowercase letters. 

Write the Room Centers

One can never have too many engaging activities that get your kids up and out of their seats while learning, right? That’s why the September center bundle not only comes with four math write the room activities, but also four literacy write the room activities. Your kindergarten students will enjoy moving around and reviewing skills like beginning sounds, alliteration, uppercase and lowercase letters, syllables, and color words. 

Writing Center

The September literacy centers come with four sets of word cards to use with your students this fall. Each set of words is themed for a different topic. The four topics for September are apple words, community helper words, fall words, and feeling words.

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.

There are five different categories of math centers and five different categories of literacy centers included in the bundle. Each center is simple to explain to your students so they can be more independent after the first few times. These centers include games, puzzles, and so many more fun activities that will have your students so busy playing that they’ll forget they’re learning too!

Included in the September 1st Grade Math & Literacy Centers

20 September Math Centers for 1st Grade:

• 4 Write & Wipe Centers
• 4 Dice Games

• 4 Match-Ups
• 4 Puzzles

20 September Literacy Activities for 1st Grade:

• 2 Puzzles and 2 Write & Wipe Centers

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. 

Materials Needed for the 1st Grade Math and Literacy Centers for September

• Dry Erase Markers
• Erasers
• Write the Room Clips
• Laminating Sheets

The math skills focused on in these centers include telling time, identifying coins, comparing numbers, and finding the missing addend/completing a number bond. 

Write & Wipe Activities

Write and wipe activities are helpful for math skills because they allow students to repeat the activity over and over again to build fluency with the skills.

First Grade Literacy Activities for September

Kick off September with our comprehensive 1st Grade Math & Literacy Centers. Your students will thrive this fall with these exciting and engaging activities!

The post Explore September: 1st Grade Math & Literacy Centers appeared first on A Dab of Glue Will Do.

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. 

Pre-k Math and Literacy Activities for September

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!

Materials Needed for the Pre-K Math and Literacy Activities for September

• Dry Erase Markers
• Erasers
• Write the Room Clips
• Laminating Sheets
• Dice

Pre-k September Math Centers

Dice Games

The four dice games included in your pre-k fall math centers will find everyone having so much fun that they won’t even realize they’re practicing math skills. The four September dice games for pre-k include a roll-a-scarecrow activity, a roll and graph activity, a roll and cover/color activity that helps students practice colors, and a 2D shapes color by code worksheet. 

Partner Games

Partner games are not only great for working on math skills, but they also give your littlest learners the chance to work with their classmates and practice social skills. There are four fall-themed pre-k math partner games in the September centers, covering skills like counting, recognizing numbers on dice, 2D shapes, and number recognition. With a board game, memory game, spinner game, and race-to-the-top game, your pre-k kiddos will be begging to go to this center!

Puzzles and Match-Ups

The September pre-k math activities include two puzzles and two match-ups. The puzzles will help your students review 2D shapes, numbers, and counting. The match-up activities are focused on sorting objects by size and completing patterns. Remember that you can always make puzzles and match-ups self-checking by adding colored dots or numbers to the back of the pieces. 

Math Write the Room Activities

Want to know one great thing about the pre-k math and literacy activities for September? They come with EIGHT write the room activities. Four math and four literacy write the room activities to use with your students! I like to use these to break up our day in between lessons, but they can also be used as a center or even put at a center table to be used as task cards. The four September pre-k write the room centers cover skills including comparing size, counting objects to 5, identifying what doesn’t belong, and completing patterns. 

Write & Wipe Activities

We enjoy write and wipe activities for practicing math skills so much that we gave you four to use during September! The activities focus on these skills: identifying numbers versus letters, 2D shapes, counting, and identifying colors. Your students will definitely enjoy using dry-erase markers and erasers to practice math skills with these four autumn math centers for pre-k. 

PreK Literacy Activities for September

Pocket Chart Activities and Match-Ups

The four pocket chart activities and match-ups are a surefire way to enhance your fall pre-k literacy materials. Your students will have a blast sequencing the steps of how to rake leaves, unscrambling sentences about apples and colors, practicing sorting letters and words, and playing a fun, editable hide-and-seek game. These centers work great in a pocket chart center, a rug center, or any table where the pieces can be spread out. 

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! 

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.

The post Hands-On September Math and Literacy Centers for Pre-K appeared first on A Dab of Glue Will Do.

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!

First Grade Math and Literacy Centers for August

The August bundle comes with 40 centers to help you enhance your first-grade August lessons and start the school year off on the right foot! With 20 math centers and 20 literacy centers, you can have your students learning, reviewing, and keeping busy while you work with small groups. Some of the centers even work great for small group activities too! 

The August first grade centers are going to quickly become your new favorite resource. 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. 

You’ll fall in love with how fantastic these centers are, especially with the way that your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize they’re learning. 

Included in the August First Grade Centers

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! 

Materials Needed for the First Grade Math and Literacy Centers for August

• Write the Room Clips

First Grade August Math Centers

Dice and Partner Games

Kids LOVE to play games. And I love when I can provide them with games that are not only fun but also help them learn and review their skills. With four August dice games and four August partner games, your first graders will have a blast reviewing 3D shapes, addition, graphing, place value, comparing numbers, and 1 more/1 less. These August math games for first grade are easy to prep, and your students will thoroughly enjoy getting to play while learning with these hands-on math centers for August. Plus, with a card game, spinner games, and a board game, the partner games are such a great way to get your students working together with their new classmates. 

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!

Write the Room Centers

With four engaging write the room activities, your first graders will be up and moving while practicing comparing the weight of objects, comparing numbers, number order, and finding missing addends. Write the room centers can also be used as task cards at a center if you’d prefer. These fun math activities for first graders will keep your students busy and learning while you work with other students. 

First Grade Literacy Activities for August

Pocket Charts and Match-Ups

Literacy pocket chart and match-up activities are made to be used in a pocket chart center or anywhere that the students can spread the pieces out, like on the floor or a table. Your students will have fun with these hands-on literacy centers for August, which include a sight word hide-and-seek game, a sequencing activity, a sentence scramble writing activity, and a CVC word match-up activity. These innovative literacy centers for first grade will keep your students learning and having fun all August long! 

Write & Wipe Centers and Puzzles

These August-themed literacy centers for first grade come with two write and wipe centers and two literacy puzzles. These should definitely be added to your “to laminate” list! These first grade centers cover alliteration, S blends, decoding words, and vowels. 

Write the Room 

The four August literacy write the room activities cover skills like rhyming, ending blends, beginning blends, and CVC words. Use our recording sheet options to differentiate and choose the ones that work the best for your students. And if you haven’t yet, definitely invest in a great set of clipboards! I was lucky enough to grab mine from a retiring teacher, but these are some great ones too. Write the room activities are great literacy enhancement activities for August when you’re trying to engage a new group of students and get them excited about learning! 

Writing

With four themed sets of word cards and plenty of differentiated writing paper to choose from, you can create a back-to-school writing center that will have your students engaged and using their creativity. The word card topics for August are school supplies, class schedule, five senses, and yummy food. Stick these words in a pocket chart, on a word wall, or on a ring, and place them in your writing center!

Poetry Centers 

Use our three original poems, written specifically for August, and the familiar nursery rhyme of the month to engage your new class of students in learning about poetry. Each poem comes with pocket chart materials, a poetry notebook, and a poetry journal so that you have options on whether you want to put the materials in a center or use them with the whole class at once. I love that the students get reading practice but also work on other literacy components like comprehension and parts of speech with the poetry activities. You will truly have a blast with these August reading activities for first grade!

Dive into a world of learning with our 1st Grade August Math and Literacy Centers. Turn the end of summer into a fun educational journey!

The post August 1st Grade Math and Literacy Centers appeared first on A Dab of Glue Will Do.

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!
