Well, over the past year and a half I’ve been adding to the cookie sheet activities series. Right now there are 6 volumes and I have several more in process. I’ve received numerous requests to bundle the activities, so I’m taking advantage of the summer months to do just that. All the volumes contain a large amount of graphics so bundling all 6 was just not possible. What I decided to do was to create a bundle of three volumes specifically for Pre K- kindergarten and then one for first grade. Of course, all the volumes are available individually, but if you’d like to purchase the Cookie Sheet Activities Pre K- Kindergarten Bundle, you’ll receive the following activities.
Cookie Sheet Activities Volume 1
Cookie Sheet Activities Volume 1 contains 3 activities for teaching early literacy. The first activity is addresses the skill of alphabetic order. There are 9 differentiated templates that can be used. Students can match upper- to uppercase letters, lower- to lowercase letter, upper- to lowercase letters.
There are 10 differentiated rhyme templates. Several templates require students to sort 2 rhymes while others 4 rhymes. The colorful pictures make this an engaging activity for teaching this skill.
When you download volume 1 of the cookie sheet bundle for kindergarten, you’ll receive 8 Making Words template. Our little kinders love building CVC words with magnetic letters.
Cookie Sheet Activities Volume 1 can be purchased separately through my online Teachers Pay Teachers store.
Cookie Sheet Activities Volume 2
Cookie Sheet Activities Volume 2 is my early numeracy volume. When you download this volume, you’ll receive 14 number order templates. These templates are differentiated as students can simply match the numbers on several of the templates. There are templates for number order 1-10, 1-20 and 1-100.
Students can practice counting with the beginning number concepts templates. There are two number concepts templates: 1-5 and 6-10.
For our little more advanced students, these number concept templates can do the trick. There are 20 templates where the students are required to identify the number before and after, provide a number word, tally and count objects.
Cookie Sheet Activities Volume 2 for Early Numeracy can also be purchased through the Make, Take & Teach website or through my online Teachers Pay Teachers store.
Cookie Sheet Activities Volume 4
So you may be thinking–what’s up with Volume 3? Volume 3 is for sight words which we may address towards the end of kindergarten, but it was most appropriate for first grade. Volume 4 certainly belongs in the kindergarten volume. Volume 4 is the volume which addresses beginning sounds and short vowels. The order of introduction of the letters follows a curriculum commonly used in schools, but I’ve included blank templates for you to use if your order of introduction differs. You will receive 20 beginning sound templates complete with the colorful pics for sorting. The templates are differentiated as some templates allow for 2 sounds and others 4 sounds.
Those short vowel sounds can be so tricky! Sorting activities are perfect for helping students learn those vowels. When you download volume 4, you receive 11 vowel sorting templates with the corresponding pictures.
You certainly can purchase Cookie Sheet Activities Volume 4- Beginning Sounds and Short Vowels separately through my online Teachers Pay Teachers store.
Okay- I know that storage can be an issue. Here’s my favorite way of storing the cookie sheet activities. The 15″ x 11 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ Sterilite containers are ideal for storing each volume and they stack so nicely. At the end of each bundle are the labels that you can use to adhere to each container.
The activities contain quite a few pictures for sorting. I’ve also included labels for the baggies.
As much as I love the activities in the Pre K- Kindergarten bundle, I love the activities in the Cookie Sheet Activities First Grade Bundle just as much.
Hope you enjoy the activities!
