number tracing calendar
calendar numbers and other items
days and months
June will soon be here and for many of you that means the end of another school year. I plan on doing lots of outdoor activities and centers while the weather is warm. Here is Junes's number tracing calendar and other June items.
I also made ladybug themed days of the week and months of the year strips that can be used in pocket charts or in your calendar centers. We also do sequencing and matching with them. Just print ... cut ... and laminate.

I made a set of four butterfly themed learning sheets to work on both scissor and pre-writing skills. The patterns come in both black and white as well color so you have a choice of what to print.
I print the scissor skill sheets on regular paper for the children to cut and print the fine motor sheets on cardstock paper. I then laminate the cardstock sheets and set them out with washable markers. You can grab the patterns for free below.

The free membership printable this week is butterfly color clip cards. This is a great activity for color recognition as well as fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out ... and then laminated them.
I set the butterfly cards out along with some clothespins. There are twelve color cards so you want to make sure you have at least twelve clothespins for the children to use.
In this activity the children pick a butterfly card and clip a clothespin on the matching color. Play continues until all the butterfly cards have been clipped. You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday May 29th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added three butterfly roll and cover mats.
You can see a video of the butterfly color clip cards below:

The free membership printable this week is a flower pot alphabet match. This is a great activity for letter recognition and review as well as fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out ... and then laminated them.
I separated the flower pot from the flowers and cut a slit in the top of each pot for the flower stems to slide through.
I used an exacto knife to make a cut that was slightly larger than the flower stem. I placed the flower stem close to the top of the pot to use as a guide as to how long the cut should be. I used cardboard under the flower pot to protect my work surface.
In this activity the children match pots and flower with the same letters. Children can slide the stems through the pots or simply place the pots on top of the flower stems. Play continues until all the flowers and pots have been matched. You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday May 22nd ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where the flower pot number match is located.
We have two nests this year ... a robin's nest and a pigeon's nest. I took pictures of the inside of the nests with a self sticke (so I wouldn't disturb them) and was so happy to see that there are baby birds inside the nests!!
Because the birds are already a few days old I wanted the children to see what they looked like when they were first born. I found a couple of youtube videos and they look so different from the way they do now. video - newborn robins video - newborn pigeons |
