My centers for the week

Lots of free center ideas for the upcoming week!  Check them out!

Writing Center: I've been working a ton on teaching my kindergartners how to write lowercase letters.  We use the Handwriting Without Tears program and we are nearing the end of letter formation instruction so I've been having them review and practice how to write the letters.  I've found that using the letter boxes helps them with tall, short and descending lowercase letters.  SO this week I'm having them practice handwriting by labeling a snowman to go with our winter theme.  Click on the picture to download a free copy!

Phonics Center: this week I'm using a fun freebie from The Weekly Hive to help my students with blending sounds and reading words.  Click on the image get it.

My Math Center is from Kelly Kindergarten - Symmetrical Snowflake sorting.  Click on the picture to grab your copy.

Art Center: We have been studying bears and in combination with winter so I wanted to create a cute bulletin board.  I saw the idea one time in a Mailbox magazine.  The title of it is called Bearing the Cold.  I've scanned in the bear template that I use along with a copy of the clothing pieces that can be used.  I printed the clothing on heavy cardstock and cut them out as tracers.  Then I set out a ton of colored paper and let the kids create a winter outfit for their bear.  The bear is printed on brown construction paper.  Click on the bear to get a copy.
