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!

Weather and St. Patrick's Day Math Centers

This is 2 weeks of math centers combined into 1 post. For the past few week we studied St. Patrick's Day, Weather, and Rainbows. Here are our math centers.

Ordering Pots of Gold By 5's
The kids cut out the pots of gold and have to glue them in order by 5's.


Pot of Gold Addition
The students used this work mat to add "gold." The gold pieces are actually just yellow construction paper circles that were cut on the Ellison press at school.



Rainbow Balloons Book
The kids had to read the words and then draw the pictures to match. 

Rainbow Order By Size Book
The kids have to write a sentence about something the color of the page. For example the yellow page would say, "The sun is yellow." Then, they had to cut out the pieces and put them in order to make the rainbow that you see below. 




Raindrop Addition
The students use this work mat to add raindrops (these are the glass decorative beads- I got them at the Dollar Tree).

Raindrop Subtraction
The students used this work mat and subtracted raindrops from the cloud. The picture you see here shows the alternate version of the subtraction worksheet for my students who are struggling to learn subtraction.


Umbrella Book
The students had to read the text, draw the correct amount of raindrops, and color the umbrella the color that is listed. This came from a Mailbox magazine from a few years back.

Order Clouds by 10's
The kids had to cut out the clouds and glue them on to a strip of paper by 10's.
