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!

Practicing Skills with Literacy Stations

Exploration Station-

Blending colors with color paddles and write color word on a white board.

Fine Motor Station-

Use tweezers to put beads in an egg carton. Have the students read the number word.

  

Handwriting Station-

I made these sheets for free on Lakeshore learning. I then laminated them. The kids use dry erase markers on these.

 

ABC Station-

I stocked up my ABC station with lots of ABC books.

Name Station-

Stamp classmates names on paper strips.

The students try to figure out whose name is in the bottle. You can't see it very well but it is Evan.

White board Station-

The students are allowed to only write words or sentences. I provide word rings for them and they can also use the word wall.

Making Words Station-

The kids used a magnifying glass to read the tiny words.
