Kindergarten Read and Draw

 

I designed these little worksheets for my kids to do independently during guided reading. I have some others that I bought off TpT, but hadn't found a packet that the majority of my kids could do independently, or the sentences were hard to draw (like "The pin is wet."). 

I know that "worksheets" is a bad word. But, we all need work for kids to do from time to time.  What I like about this activity is I have something tangible to know that they have read the sentences.  Plus, their artwork is fabulous.  

I include sight words we have worked on as a class and CVC words that kids can decode.  I think they did great on these!

You can get three for free here.  Or, click here for the full packet of 8 is $1.00. 

December Kindergarten Journals

For December, instead of giving my students a picture to write about, I posted a question for them to answer.  For the first few days, I modeled how to answer the question with a complete sentence, using the word wall or words in the prompt to help them with their spelling. It was fun getting to learn a little more about them through their journal writing. 

Art for Kids Hub

 

If you haven't seen Art for Kids Hub on YouTube, you must. It is a father making art videos with his kids.  The videos are step by step and my kindergartners LOVE them and kids of all abilities can be successful.  This might be my favorite YouTube channel. I use these for our Pride Club (aka Fun Friday) activities once in a while.  Below are some of my favorites from the hibernating bear art.
