Fall Themed File Folder Activities!

My fabulous artist, Kyle, made these adorable spiders a few years back. I just LOVE incorporating them into Halloween themed activities. I’m kind of on a file folder activity-making kick right now and thought they’d work fabulously for our rhyme and alphabet file folder matching games. The Spider File Folder for Rhyme activity contains templates for making 4 differentiated file folder activities. The first two templates have your students matching 6 spiders to the webs and the other two templates 8 spiders to webs. The File Folder Spider Rhyme Match activity can be found in my online Teachers Pay Teachers store or through the Make, Take & Teach website. The Spider File Folder Activity for the Alphabet contains 8 differentiated

Fall Themed Scarecrow Activities

I just LOVE activities that contain a self-checking feature. These types of activities are ideal for independent centers! We created these adorable scarecrow rhyme, alphabet and CVC activities just for fall. You can easily differentiate these activities by choosing which and how many scarecrows to use. Here’s how the self-checking feature works for the alphabet activity. Simply place the desired scarecrows and the matches on the table and have the students make the match. They then turn over the card and if the upper- and lowercase letters match their responses are correct. Super simple! The Scarecrow Match Alphabet Activity can be found in my online Teachers Pay Teachers store or through the Make, Take & Teach website. Here’s a different

My goodness! Fall is just around the corner and it’s time to pull out all of our fall themed activities! The Make, Take & Teach K-1 Math bundle includes 13 fall themed activities designed to teach basic number concepts. Here are just a few of my favorites from this bundle! Of course an early numeracy bundle wouldn’t be complete without Play Doh mats! Student just love making numbers with Play Doh. This activity is ideal for independent centers. You can certainly purchase your Play Doh, but I like to make my own as the dough is softer to form. Be sure to use Wilton cake food coloring if opting to make your own as the colors are so vibrant!

Even More! Fall Themed File Folder Activities

Kyle, my fabulous artist, has been working hard on our line of file folder activities. We just LOVE file folder activities! Once assembled and laminated they can be used over and over again. They’re also a great alternative to paper and pencil worksheets which is especially helpful for our little learners who really rely on a hands-on approach to learning skills. Of course it’s important to differentiate any activity. The pumpkin match file contains 4 different templates for creating file folder activities. Two templates contain matches for six rhyming pairs and the other two templates for 9 matches. That’s 4 different activities contained in this file. The File Folder Pumpkin Rhyme Match activity can be found in my online Teachers

Apple Themed File Folder Activities

I just love file folder activities. Once laminated, they last for  years and years. They are so simple to store and all the materials are just right there! You’re not quite able to see it in these pictures, but I like to place a Velcro dot on the file folder above each basket and then on each apple and then store the apples in a baggie which I attach at the corner of the folder using a brass clasp. I created two different apple themed activities just for fall. The first activity focuses on the skill of rhyme. When you download this file you will receive the templates and corresponding apples to create four differentiated rhyming file folder activities. Two

Cookie Sheet Activities for Early Literacy and Numeracy!

It all started with a little stroll down the storage aisle at our local Walmart. I have to admit I’m just a tad addicted to storage containers. Oddly enough, that’s where most of my inspiration for activities begin – cool storage containers and then wondering what I can use them for. These Sterilite containers are 15″ x 11 1/2″ by 3 1/4″ and they stack so nicely! Absoultely perfect for storing cookie sheet templates and the manipulates that go with them. So I created 9 different cookie sheet volumes to store in these containers. There are activities all the way from early literacy skills to more advanced phonics skills for my first and second grade friends. The activities are then
