Is it a "B" or a "D"?

Do your little guys and gals have a hard time distinguishing between lowercase b's and d's?  Try this little trick...tell them, "If you can add a hump at the top to make it into an uppercase B, then it's a b. If not, it's a d."

Pre-K Writing Activities

Turn kitchen items into classroom items

Magnetic Mat
Your aluminum cookie sheet can be used for more than just baking cookies.  Turn it into a learning mat by using magnetic letters and numbers on it. 

Time Out Timer
When you have to send your little ones to time out, one question typically exits from their lips within moments.  "When can I get up?" Make both of your lives easier by spending a couple of dollars on a kitchen timer.  By setting the timer, your students will know when it is time to get up and will be less incline to ask you.

Cookie and Candy Activities

If your children/students are like mine, their eyes light up when presented with the occasional sweet treat.  Why not use that excitement to teach a variety of subjects and concepts?  "A Sweet Thematic Unit" uses cookies, candy, and ice cream to teach Math, Language Arts, and Science/Social Studies.  Art activities are provided also.  Before you panic with the thought of your kiddos being on a sugar rush all day, most of the activities are printables and do not involve consuming the sweet treats.
