Stop, Swap & Roll - Product Swap and Review {Giveaway}

Hi!  I'm so glad to be a part of this swap again.  I am hopping that my post goes a little smoother than last time.  Thanks to Melissa for getting everything organized!

So I got to partner with Melissa from Creations by Mrs. Mouse.  She is a wonderful paraprofessional from Ohio who recently renewed her teaching license and is hoping to teach kindergarten soon! 

I loved all of her things in her TpT Store and had a very hard time choosing which one for my kiddos to try.  But here is what I picked: 

This pack has 5 different activities for your students to practice matching rhyming words.  For now, I chose to print and use the strawberry, watermelon and lemon packs.  They work well for this time of the year.  You can click their picture to purchase just that pack or the bundle picture above for the whole bundle!  The whole bundle is a HUGE DEAL!  For only $4 you get 5 rhyme packs!!!  They are each $2.75 separately! 

   

So I love that these rhymes are not strictly cVc words.  I just had a conversation with my class this week about how the words sound the same at the end and that is what makes them rhyming words.  One of my students said, "Well they look the same too."  And yes, while some rhyming words do look the same, they don't always have to.  So in steps this matching game.  The rhyming pairs in these games require the students to listen for the sounds as opposed to see the spelling of the end of a word.  

I did choose to write the words on the back of the cards because I wanted this to be a self checking station if there was an adult helper and I wanted to make it easier for me to remember the words too.  You know how busy teachers are all day!  It could take me 15 minutes to remember what that word was!  :)

So here is the prep work that I did to get these "center ready" for my kiddos:

I did choose to write the words on the back as you can see here.

The lemon pack has 3 rhyming words that match as opposed to only two.

Here's what they look like all sorted and stored in bags. 

Here are the finished stacks all cut out.  The lemons should be a much brighter yellow, however, I did not realize my ink was out until they already started printing and I wasn't going to waste the cardstock.  You can see from the strawberry and melon pictures that the graphics are nice and bright.

Here are my kiddos in action: 

  

Here they were stacking up the matches.

This was tricky for them.  They are searching hard for the matches.

So now is your chance to win a copy of this pack.  Enter the Rafflecopter below for your chance to win:

Stop-Swap-Roll: A Product Swap and Giveaway

Hello!  It has been a rough year so I'm glad this is my first post back. Thanks to Melissa for getting this all together. 
I was partnered with Lola from Preschool Wonders and chose her Camping Literacy and Math Pack.  It is awesome by the way!!  This pack includes math and literacy games that kept my kiddos engaged and learning. Here's a peek at some of the things this pack has: Right now my kinders are learning numbers from 1-20 so this matching game was perfect!  They loved the pictures.  This is a great book to practice positional words. My kiddos loved it!  I could really see who understood this concept and who didn't.  I haven't used this yet, but it will be a great assessment tool after teaching shadows.  Some of my kiddos are struggling with rhyming words so this is a great activity to use for remediation! Since I have already taught patterns, I used this as an assessment tool to be sure all my students could create a pattern and label it.  There is so much more to this pack!  You have to check it out yourself!   Here is my product that Lola reviewed and is giving away.  So after you fill out the rafflecopter to win the Camping Pack, head over to Jungle Learners to see what others have to share and giveaway! a Rafflecopter giveaway

Blogiversary Giveaway and Student Teacher

So...my blog is turning one!  I have included the form below if you'd like to donate something to the giveaway.  I plan to get it all set up for next week.  
I had a student teacher start in my classroom last week so we have been busy showing her the ropes.  Here are some pictures so far!

Peek at My Week 3/31 {Oviparous Animals} and Giveaway Help Needed!

Well, I am finally back!  Between moving houses and all the snow day interruptions, my lesson plans have been a little crazy.  And I haven't been good at getting blog posts together.  However, we have been doing some really neat things in our class.  I will try to get some other pictures up this week to show you what we have been up to.   I'm here to link up with Deedee and Mrs. Laffin's Laughings for a Peek at My Week! 

This week, we are going to have a little introduction of Spring and then talk about oviparous animals.  Here's my plans: 

I will point out that Ketchen's Kindergarten has some amazing math journals for kindergarten.  She has made them very user friendly for printing front to back (to save paper!) and it doesn't require a separate journal for the kiddos.  I have used her March ones this month and LOVE them!  Check out all of them {HERE}.  They are FREE!!!! You can click any of the pictures above to get my plans in PDF from Google Drive.  Then be sure to come back this week to see pictures of our super fun crafts, writing, reading and math! So the other part to this post is....my blog will be O-N-E on April 16th.  I can't believe it!  I just started this on a whim last year and am so happy at the success!  I'd like to throw a huge giveaway.  If you have something you'd like to contribute, please fill out the form below.   Ok....now head over to see what everyone else is up to this week!

And don't forget my TpT store is on sale through tomorrow!! 20% off everything!!
   Have a wonderful week!!
