Counting Workstation

How is this for a Math Workstation...

I bought these cardboard letters at the teacher store. There were 3 of each number. On one set I put stickers to help those who are not identifying numbers yet. The other sets I left blank. The kids will match clothespins to the corresponding number. Again, I love this station because it builds in a fine motor component which is so important early in the year.

Paperclip Workstation

Here is another Pinterest inspired lit/math station. 

I wrote the number and number word on a large index card. I plan on laminating these. The kids just match the paperclips to the card. I love this because it builds in some fine motor as well.


 Here the kids match the colored paperclip to the color word. To add it some difficultly, I also did the color words written in black.

Back to School- My Pinterest Inspiration

Awhile back I posted about Pinterest. This has been my new summer addiction and has given me many ideas for my classroom! Yesterday I was busy creating some Pinterest inspired supplies. For just a few bucks I created all of these fun things for my kindergarten kiddos! Check them out!

Fine motor/color words- 
Kids string beads on pipe cleaners with tape flags


Fine motor/Counting-
Kids string beads on pipe cleaners with numbers


Fine motor-
I bought this colander at Target (dollar spot). Kids string pipe cleaners though the holes.



Letter Finders-
I used paint chips (free from Lowes) and wrote letters on them. I envision the kids looking through books and using these to find letters. I plan on hooking them all together with a flashcard ring.


Number Finders-
Same thing as above but with numbers. Won't this make a great math station?


Word Families-
Again, I used paint chips from Lowes. The kids can make words with the word family card and the initial letter card.

Happy Creating!
