I will be permanently switching over to that blog full time and no longer updating this Kindergarten Corps blog from now on. My new blog is on Word Press and has way more cool features that I am so excited to expand on in the next few years. Please book mark it because there will be lots more great things happening over there soon.<br />

<br />
I've been learning about Counting Collections for the last 4 years. However, I never had the time or money to invest in really giving it a go with my Kindergarten students. Finally, I was able to start creating my collections this school year. At the beginning of the school year, I knew I wanted to wait until the 100th day of school was over to introduce it. So I took my time building the collections months ahead of time. It began with perusing Office Depot's website and coming across this deal on <a href="http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/452423/Really-Useful-Box-Plastic-Storage-Box/" target="_blank">storage containers</a>.
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
For $1.29 each plus free shipping on orders over $35 I told myself, "It's now or never, Janine." I went ahead and ordered 34 containers for my class of 24 kids in order to have some boxes left over to differentiate for those kids that struggle with numbers up until the end of the school year.
One way, I saved money was by collecting "trinkets" from all over my house and classroom. Seven years in the same classroom will naturally create pockets of "stuff" tiny enough for little fingers to count. So it was surprisingly easy to fill a whopping 20 containers with cute, small, colorful things! For the other 14 boxes, I headed out to Michael's craft store and used my 15% off teacher discount by showing my teachers' union ID card at the checkout counter.<br />
<br />
Here are my 34 boxes!! I am so proud of them. <br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
They were all ready just before our 50th day of school and I was a tiny bit heartbroken to have to store them in a closet until the 100th day of school passed. But it was for the best considering my students come in with little to no foundation skills the first day of school. So they weren't ready for this kind of skip counting at the 50th day.<br />
<br />
In order to keep track of which child has counted which box, I made a grid checklist for each child. Each page has 6 grids. I printed it out 4 times for my class of 24 kids. Each page is for each number sense skill group.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WOn7jkKkNLo/WK-YzLNyEKI/AAAAAAAABV0/g__vzeNjXcwL6c3FGbzhKGUrcdsVrHneACLcB/s1600/CC2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="counting collections, skip counting" border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WOn7jkKkNLo/WK-YzLNyEKI/AAAAAAAABV0/g__vzeNjXcwL6c3FGbzhKGUrcdsVrHneACLcB/s400/CC2.png" title="counting collections, skip counting" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Counting Collections Checklist Grid</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
I noticed 4 boxes contained very small objects that totaled way over 120 so I chose to keep those last 4 OFF the checklist. I will unofficially bring them out for the kids who are ready when needed. I will probably just hand write the number behind the child's grid to keep track of which of the four they've used already.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also laminated ten frames with five frames on the reverse side for future use. I knew that when I introduced this activity, I would do it in small group and I'd start with my two highest number sense skill groups. This way, I could work out the kinks for the next day when I introduced it to my two lower number sense groups.<br />
<br />
I randomly selected containers for the kids on the first day and we filled out our paper together EXCEPT the picture portion. I told them they were going to do that part AFTER they counted their collections on the mats. In the future, I do want the kids to count with a partner but for these first two introduction sessions at my small group table, I told the kids to cross that part out as they were going to each count their own collection today.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<br />
If I don't see an improvement with each small group after two sessions with me, I will probably keep this activity restricted to small group for another two or more sessions before trying this activity with the whole class. In that case I'll "white out" that partner name row completely because if they're doing it in small group with me I am basically "the partner" that helps them figure it out so they wont need a child to help them.<br />
<br />
After two rotations I was tired but the joy on the kids faces was worth it! Today's two groups went pretty well. I knew they would as I selected my two top groups to work with. Here are some shots of the kids placing their objects in the ten frames:<br />

The kids did really well at counting their totals and writing the number. However, tomorrow's two groups may need a number line or 100s chart. This day's two groups did need me to count how many FULL ten frames they had in order to draw that quantity of circles with the number ten written inside. As well as how many single items were left over in the UNFILLED ten frames and drawing that many circles with a number one written in them.<br />
<br />
Before wrapping up today's sessions completely, I held up each child's page to the group and verbally went over all the parts of the sheet out loud for the rest of the group to hear. We clapped for each child and I reminded them that at some point they will have to count those other collections too! Then I asked the kids to put away their collections and snap the locks on the lid into place. It was a lot of fun!<br />

The final product comes out quite nicely! I just love the hand print and I chose white because I happened to have a reel of white ribbon and white chalkboard marker on hand. Also, I was running short on time and not giving kids a choice to pick their favorite color and just use white for the hand prints made the process so much quicker!<div>

Inside the paper bag is the actual present. I have the kids paint popsicle stick frames for their mom. I add their picture inside holding a bouquet of flowers in the matching frame color. To date I only have two colors: pink for girls and blue for boys. They NEVER complain and love the choices. I allow two colors only mostly to cut down on cost since I shoulder the finances of the entire project. </div>

For the mother's day card, I had the kids create from scratch with markers and paper. I wanted to keep everything as simple and inexpensive as possible without losing any cuteness points. I added the frames and the card into the brown paper bag and sent it home with the kids on Friday. They were so happy! I hope their mom's enjoyed their gift. </div>

I rely on the sight words 'and' & 'is' to help with this concept. Kids are used to reading pattern sentences with sight words in reading and writing so the following number sentence frame is a natural bridging step.<br />

Here is a free download for a 12 Days of Christmas Reader. I am so excited that my Teachers Pay Teachers store has reached 3,000 followers that I have celebrated by creating two freebies.<br />

I read the book, "<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_qZ3A5IOsbwVWo1XzdxMkpsbnM/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">The Twelve Days of Christmas</a>" to my class. Actually I sang it to them! They loved it and then we filled out a little reader to go along with it. The Rebus style reader was a big hit. It is perfect for retelling skills. Download it by clicking <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_qZ3A5IOsbwVWo1XzdxMkpsbnM/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

They worked with a partner since I only had enough shapes to prep 12 bags for 24 students to share. I would have had enough for 24 bags but those pesky little, green triangles ran out. Ah Well! It turned out great anyway. I'd say the hardest part was angling the triangles correctly enough to form half a hexagon. Once they cleared that hurdle it was easy. </div>

</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This meant that kids had to memorize how to build hexagons using the three other ways we found to fill in their favorite puzzles. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<br />
I heard a few gasps and then a little girl said, "but their not yellow!" I said, "That's okay. You can still replace the missing hexagons even if the shapes are different colors than what's on the mat."<br />
<br />
The next day they did fine and I felt really proud of them. We wrapped up the next day by bring out the super fun pattern block stickers! We built hexagons in as many different ways as we could.<br />
<br />
Here is another way we practice the characteristics of shapes. We used popsicle sticks on the rug.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Pe9JAovI8sU/VeKT2lB9--I/AAAAAAAAA8c/xoH8b6rc6ZU/s1600/IMG_8621.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Pe9JAovI8sU/VeKT2lB9--I/AAAAAAAAA8c/xoH8b6rc6ZU/s320/IMG_8621.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I modeled how to make a few shapes on the rug and challenged the kids to name my shape. Then I projected shape clip art on my class' Promethean Board and passed out bundles of popsicle sticks in different colors. Each bundle had six sticks since we have been studying 2D shapes with no more than six sides. Once we all had out bundles we created the shapes I projected on the board one after the other. It was loads of fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_5XJ455vWgA/VeKUrG3Ya_I/AAAAAAAAA8k/ZyBMvo9arqw/s1600/IMG_8623.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_5XJ455vWgA/VeKUrG3Ya_I/AAAAAAAAA8k/ZyBMvo9arqw/s320/IMG_8623.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some kids had a hard time with the rhombus and hexagon. Rightfully so since those shapes are pretty tricky. The kids were very helpful when their neighbor was struggling to make a shape. We talked about the number of sides and vertices as well. We made different size triangles using either just three popsicle sticks or up to 6 to make each side longer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The only hard part was cleaning up the popsicle sticks. Most kids did not have the fine motor skills to tie the bunches back up. I recruited the help of girls with long hair to help me and the rest of the class tie up the bunhes. They usually know how to tie up their pony tails so tying up a small bunch of popsicle sticks was a piece of cake! </div>

The phone outline was printed on cardstock and colored in with marker by the kids. I added the photo to the center and laminated them together. We put a magnet on the back so it would be ready for displaying on Dad's file cabinet at work, mini fridge, main fridge, or office furniture, etc. </div>

Like last year (<a href="http://www.kindergartencorps.blogspot.com/2014/05/fathers-day-projects.html" target="_blank">2014 project</a>), I had the kids use a technology/gadget theme to the father's day crafts. I sell the templates in my TPT store.<br />

This meant I would get access to helping kids improve their literacy in Spanish every day in addition to my own students.<br />
<br />
I quickly realized that there is a SERIOUS lack of Spanish resources out there and decided to do something about it. This Summer, I began making resources in Spanish to use with the bilingual classes at my school.<br />
<br />

Once I finished this awesome (I think so) RHYMING unit in Spanish I got VERY JEALOUS and decided to make the English version right after.<br />

A lot of these words are found in my class' favorite rhyming song book, A Hunting We Will Go. They love to sing, "A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go, we'll catch a bear and put him in underwear and then we'll let him go. Oh!" They get pretty hysterical with their nonsense rhymes as well.<br />
<br />
The packs include the same format to a RHYMING memory match game.<br />

The second feature each pack includes are pocket chart cards. Pocket chart cards are new to me as a teaching tool since my district has had Promethean boards for so many years. This is the kind of activity that got relegated to technology and the poor little pocket chart was wheeled to the back of the room. However, I can dust it off now and use these cool pocket chart cards to practice rhyming with my class.<br />

This was the teacher meme that started it all for me tonight.

Speaking of bears. I read my class a bear book this week in preparation for Spring. The bear had been asleep and hibernating and he awoke to flowers and birds everywhere. Even though he was a kind bear I went ahead and read his voice in a growly voice ... as it should be! I teach Kindergarten after all.<br />

Needless to say my audience was enthralled. Growly voice tends to do that to five year olds. The next meme came from the 15 minutes it took me to scrub glitter and dried glue off my students' desks before leaving on Friday. It's all worth it, right?<br />

It is my number one pet peeve. Just because a child is small doesn't mean they can't learn some responsibility for their actions. But considering how crazy households can be in the morning I guess I can be more lenient from time to time. This leads to my next pet peeve. Parents in Pajamas! It's 8 am not 5 am. Please put on real pants. You have time. Treat yourself to a cute outfit in the morning. You deserve it.</div>

Speaking of treats, in my district we are lucky enough to have instructional aides who help pull out and tutor our kids who are behind. Every year around Spring time, I get my class of ELLs to a point where they are ALL meeting benchmark before Spring Quarter.<br />
<br />
Little do they know, I rely on the aide to help in this process and ... then they take her time from me. Don't they know its because of her help that I was able to accomplish this feat? There goes the ability to maintain it. Womp Womp Womp. </div>

We celebrated all week long by reading non fiction books on Indians, Pilgrims and even turkeys. Now comes our culminating activities... pilgrim hats and indian crowns to wear home at dismissal.<br />
<br />
Here is the pattern I used for pilgrim hats for boys. I used a standard manila folder as the material so that the template is thick enough to last for years. I got the pattern from a past teaching partner and have used it ever since. It is too large to trace and scan on a 8.5 by 11 paper so I don't have a link for it. However, through the pictures you can see it takes up the entire size of the manila folder and traces nicely onto a large 18 X 13 construction paper without having too much excess to trim off.<br />

One of my coworkers bought doilies from the dollar store and cut them in half. Then she glued one half to the top of each bonnet. I choose not to embellish my bonnets this way because I think pilgrims would have had simple bonnets in "real life." </div>

We also made Indian crowns the day before. We had each color symbolize a part of the Indian life style we read about earlier in the week. The kids related it to camping as we were discussing the colors. Red was fire for keeping warm and cooking meat. Yellow was the sun for growing plants. Blue was for water. Brown was for soil.<br />

(For a total of 3 weeks on Community)<br />
<br />
This week, I started by reading the class a book on maps I got on Amazon. The book was chunked over a period of 2 days to ensure understanding.<br />
<br />

After the story, the students were shown real maps that I had saved from going on little road trips. We sat in a circle and talked about what we noticed on them. I had a few kids share out about a time they used a map with their family.<br />

I also had some maps from the San Diego Zoo and and some play maps for kids from a teacher supply store. We watched a video on maps and models from the United Streaming's website. Our district purchased user licenses for all teachers to access their videos on our Promethean Boards.<br />
<br />
I pulled out our old ELD song for communities from Rigby. The red car is on velcro and sticks to the different places in the community. So we fill in the sentence frames depending on where the car lands.<br />

On Tuesday, I read the last chunk of the Map book. Then, I pulled out our Writing Web for the power word "go." (The laminated web is from a district purchased program called Learning Headquarters). I taught the sight words "go" under my own structure however as a part of this writing unit in my TPT Store called <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rebus-Writing-using-Sight-Words-8-Week-Unit-1321079" target="_blank">Rebus Writing using Sight Words</a>. The word "go" is week 5 of the 8 week unit. With a pointer I pointed to the word web and we orally filled out each sentence frame from the word bank.<br />

I allowed the kids to draw their own interpretation of a map on a half sheet of drawing paper as a pre-assessment to see where they are. Most kids drew standard pictures of places but some surprised me and had some streets and people walking in the map to different places.<br />
<br />
On Wednesday, I read them a book on map keys/legends.<br />

</tbody></table>
I put up a class legend on the Promethean board that had four requirements. The sample legend was pre filled and colored and drawn and labeled. I asked the kids to draw a map on a full sized drawing page that had a: school, police station, neighborhood of homes, and a park. The symbol for each was a: building with flag next to it, building with a car next to it, triangles to symbolize a neighborhood, and a slide to symbolize the park. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I set the kids to work and could see them looking up and referencing the sample key as they drew their maps. I noticed an improvement in their pictures from the day before. Once all the required components from the class key were on their maps I passed out markers and let them fill in the blanks and put more detail in the map. I cut out small legends that were identical to the one I had on the board and had kids glue it on the corner of their map. They were allowed to take it home. </div>

By Thursday, I brought out the colorful construction paper!</div>

The neat piles of color coded paper soon got a little messy! I had pre cut them into squares or rectangles. The first to go was blue because everyone was required to put a body of water on their map somewhere. It could be a river, lake, ocean or backyard pool. Also, the black strips I precut were the first to go because those were the streets and kids were allowed to use up to four. </div>

I had them glue the legends on the back of their maps. I made them a word bank so they could copy. However, some were ready for inventive spelling and didn't need to reference it. If this were done at the end of Kindergarten I would not even offer a word bank on the board. I would ask all kids to use inventive spelling to fill out their legend.<br />
<br />
If you'd like the free blackline master for the legend see the link at the bottom of this post. </div>

<div>
IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER AGAIN... I would not have them glue the legends on the back of the maps. I would display it next to the maps because once I mounted them all on the wall I realized they were hidden. LOL! Oh well. Next year I'll have learned my lesson. </div>

When my kinders came to me this Monday, July 28, I was excited because last year I taught a kinder first grade split class which meant I had to go fast sooner. I missed the full "kindie" experience a lot. This week, I started establishing routines and procedures as well as practicing those preschool academics like tracing, circling, coloring, Xing out the wrong answer and circling the correct answer. Most importantly, I am working on teaching good classroom behavior... starting with walking in line.</div>

At the end of the day today, I tried giving them this handout. It utilizes the same adorable clip art from the posters. ( made by Educasong on TPT ) they did very well with it since they had to color to mark their answer and it's a skill we've been covering all week long. </div>

I have written an original parody song to the tune of "Let it Go" from FROZEN by Disney. My class has been practicing three times a day for the last two weeks. We have finally memorized the song well enough to be recorded. Go ahead and take a listen. You'll notice they get pretty loud for the chorus!<br />

Here are the steps I took to make the Father's day gifts my students will get to take home next week.<br />
<br />
First I took their pictures holding up a toy phone to their ear. Then I glued the pictures into the outline of a smartphone and let them decorate the phone with markers. I used card stock to give the phones some weight.<br />

The phone's caption says, "Daughter (son) calling .... to say Happy Father's Day!" I put a magnet on the back of each so that Fathers would be able to mount them on the good ol' refrigerator or to their file cabinet at work. </div>

The kids had such a great time coloring their phones. They even let their imagination take over and started taking SELFIES and play calling each other as they colored!<br />
<br />
The next step was to print out the Google Search Fathers' Day cards (also printed on card stock). The children were given a sample of a real google page logo so they could color accurately. Then I wrote their father's name on a post it note and instructed them to write it on the blue line. They were to write a description of why their father is so great and draw his picture. This little guy has the cutest description of his Dad.<br />

This card was laminated as well to ensure it will remain a time capsule. Last, the children were given ties cut out of construction paper. I showed them images of men's ties and asked them to use a combination of markers and crayons to make the kind of tie their Dad would wear to a fancy event.<br />

I placed the Google card and the Smartphone Card inside a paper bag cut and folded to resemble a man's dress shirt.<br />

As emergent readers kids must keep track of so much at once. My students definitely need an anchor chart to help their memory along. Vowels have two sounds, C and G have a soft and hard sound, and then when kids start to learn vowel pairs they quickly need to realize that THEY too can have a second sound. Here is a freebie anchor chart I have created to print and laminate. It will help my kids along and I hope that it will help yours too.<br />
<br />

<br />
I enjoy using this pdf chart in a small group guided reading setting but what I LOVE is to use a large sheet of anchor chart paper, my scented markers, glue, scissors, some time after school and these same images to create a large ANCHOR CHART to hang up on my classroom walls.<br />
<br />
I use the images from <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_qZ3A5IOsbwWDZaYnNVTWE0S0E/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">this pdf file</a> and glue them on to the anchor chart.<br />

That skill combined with temporal words like : First, Next, Then, Later, After, Last, or Finally, and kids can really do some amazing writing pieces. I'm created a little poster to help introduce Narrative Writing to my class. I project it on the class' Promethean Board and start a discussion about it. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_qZ3A5IOsbwZ3I1clJaMktCdU0/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Here</a> is the poster link.<br>

For this reason, many of my <a href="http://www.kindergartencorps.blogspot.com/2013/06/once-i-have-my-class-separated-into-4.html" target="_blank">Literacy Centers</a> are centered around sight words. A few weeks ago, I noticed <a href="http://www.dollartree.com/household/kitchen-dining/cookware-bakeware/Cooking-Concepts-Steel-Cookie-Pans-9x13-/500c526c529p302751/index.pro?method=search" target="_blank">The Dollar Tree Store</a> had cookie sheets for one dollar each so I grabbed a stack of them and headed for the register.

One year, I had a student who would write about the Red Power Ranger every single chance he got. Last year, I had a student who would write about her puppy no matter how much I encouraged her to branch out. This is why writing prompts are so important. I typically give my class a "free-write" day once every two weeks. Otherwise, there is always, always, always a writing prompt for the day! This helps to establish that writing is just like talking. The prompt (or question of the day) helps kids to feel like they're having a conversation instead of doing a chore.<br>
<br>
Here are some easy prompts to establish the concept of Opinion Writing<br>

Immediately after, I establish that students must give 3 reasons for their opinion to be taken seriously by whoever they are trying to convince. This is the very simple graphic organizer I give to students to help them see their thoughts on paper. They can decorate the profile to resemble them and use each thought bubble to write out one reason for their opinion to total three.<br>

Little ones either get it or they don't. Every year there is always one student (or more) that writes a string of every sight word they know in that day's journal entry, draws a picture of their puppy, and when prompted to read their "sentence" says " I love my puppy!" Unfortunately this child has not yet had his or her writing epiphany. Their limited concept of what writing is surrounds letters and words but not the necessarily the connection not that what we say has a written form and it is always spelled the same way. <div><br></div><div>The next series of posts will tackle these issues and will be titled "Kindergarten Writing."</div>Miss Camposhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02896955172777511052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563968248241202665.post-37381792251510492402013-10-06T13:22:00.001-07:002017-02-23T19:14:32.278-08:00Posting a Class ScheduleI always post my class schedule front and center for my students.

Students learn so much and there is no time to waste. Having excellent classroom management during this time is key. One of the best strategies to accomplish this goal to think of classroom zones for each of your student groups to physically encompass, think of what the theme of each center is going to be ( what skills each center will focus on consistently), think of what each group is allowed to do when they're done with their assignment.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are my four centers, their themes:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Guided Reading in Kindergarten</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
At the teacher's Table, I am there to guide the children through the rigorous activities. At the Listening Center the children listen to a story for 10-15 minutes before they complete their assignment at their seat or use a Literacy Puzzle. At the computer station, each of the six children has a computer game to do. 10 minutes of Reading Readiness game and 10 minutes of a Math game. However, one center is completely independent for the full 25 minute rotation. The independent table is by far the neediest table for teacher-organization!</div>

</tbody></table>
At this table I usually have <a href="http://pinterest.com/jancam82/cut-and-paste-class-work/">cut and paste</a> phonics activities for the kids to do because I like how it slooows them down and makes them think before they commit to gluing down a picture. Also, it is great fine motor practice. I only place four trash bins on each table because the children are expected to share with their neighbor. Each child has their own pencil box with supplies ( the boxes stay at the Independent Table). I like placing trash bins at the table because this keeps the kids from standing up and chatting with other kids. They have to stay in their zone. To keep them in their zone ... and keep them from getting up and distracting other kids I have an activity prepared for them to do when they are done with their phonics sort page. </div>
