First Day of Kindergarten: Headband or Necklace

Who doesn't love to make the first day of Kindergarten special?

I love to have my students wear home a memento of the day. I use these circles to make headbands by cutting 1 12" strips of black construction paper to make the band and attaching the circle on the front.

I have also punched a hole in the top, threaded some yarn through to make a necklace, or simply pinned the badge on the students shirts.

No matter your style, kids will leave the classroom with a great big smile!

Click on your desired badge and drag the jpeg to your word or graphics page, scale to the size you want, and print.

Here are more printables for my early learning friends!

Chrysanthemum and the Beginning of Kindergarten

For me, the beginnings of kindergarten is fast approaching. Those beginning days are so hard! (For a teacher it is like holding 25 corks under the water all at once, all day long). For a  kindergartner, it is a scary time. A time to adjust to new space, new adults, new friends, new rules, new structure, and for most,  the introduction to the social (and far from perfect) world in which we live. It is the first realization for many 5 years olds that they are not the center of the universe.

I love to use this boo,k Chrysanthemum during the first weeks of school. This book is not only a lovely story, it is a great tool to teach self-awareness, diversity, respect, and appreciation for self and others. 



The book can also be used when teaching names of oneself and others. This packet, "Names," offer many great activities and games that will enrich your classroom.

Phonics Practice Worksheets: Phonics Prep

Ten Years ago, Kathleen Law and I wrote Phonics Book 1, Phonics Book 2 and Phonics Book 3 for Teacher Created Material. These books today are still widely used. When we look at them, they still make us tired! We were asked to write these books in a six-week period, right in the middle of a school-year. Lots of nights with no sleep is what I remember.

To celebrate these books' 10th Anniversary, we have written a 10-Part Phonics Prep Series that we know you will find useful both in either the classroom and homeschool settings.

Set 1: Alphabet Worksheets offers 108 pages of alphabet letter and sound practice that have been designed for students moving into reading. Four pages are devoted to each letter. They include the following: A handwriting trace page, A beginning sound identification page, A missing letter page, A letter hunt page.








Set 2: Ending Sound Worksheets provides phonics practice that focus on final sounds. The consonants that are featured include: b, c, d, f, g, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, v, x, and z. Because of sound spellings, J and Z just have one page apiece. The remaining consonants have two pages devoted to final sounds.They include:

1) A final sound identification page 2)A missing letter page

Set 3: Vowel Worksheets provides phonics practice that focus on vowel sounds. Both short and long vowel sounds are featured. Six pages are devoted to each vowel. They include: 1) A short vowel identification page 2)A short vowel choose the word page 3)A long vowel identification page 4)A long vowel missing letter page 5)A match-up page featuring the short and long vowel sounds 6)A short vowel/long vowel identification page

Set 4: Consonant Digraphs Worksheets provides phonics practice that focus on consonant digraphs. Both beginning and ending digraph sounds are featured. Two pages are devoted to each of the following consonant digraphs: sh, ch, th, wh, ph, ck, and ng. One page allows students to listen for the digraph sound; the other page reinforces the written form of the digraph through handwriting. Eight review pages complete this digraph packet.

Set 5: Vowel Digraphs and Diphthongs Worksheets provides phonics practice that focus on vowel diphthongs and digraphs. Two pages are devoted to each of the following vowel diphthongs or digraphs: oy, ow, oo as in hood, oo as in moon, aw, ue, and ee. One page allows students to listen for the diphthong or digraph sound; the other page reinforces the written form of the sound through handwriting. Eight review pages complete this packet.

Set 6:  Word Family Worksheets provides phonics practice that focus on word families. One page is devoted to each of the following word families: -ad, -ag, -am, -an, -ap, -at, -ed,    -en, -et, -ig, -in, -ip, -it, -og, -op, -un, -ug, and -ut. Each word family page provides the opportunity for students to stamp, trace, and write word family words. Seventeen word family review pages complete this packet.

Set 7: Consonant Blends Worksheets provides phonics practice that focuses on consonant blends. Pages highlight l-blends (bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl), r-blends (br, cr, dr, fr, gr, pr, tr), and  s-blends (sk, sm, sn, sp, st, sw).  Following the pages that feature the individual blends, students have the opportunity to work on each of the three groups of blends by sorting pictures, matching blending sounds with their letters, writing blends to complete word spellings, and circling  words with the correct blend.

Set 8: Word Endings Worksheets provides phonics practice that focuses on word endings. Pages highlight the word endings -ed, -ing, and -s. Students have the opportunity to work on each of the three word endings by circling the word endings, writing the word endings, and identifying the correct word ending.

Set 9: Bossy R Worksheets provides phonics practice that focus on R-controlled vowels. Pages highlight the “bossy-r” combinations ar and or as well as the combinations that make the /er/ sound (spelled er, ir, and ur). Students have the opportunity to identify pictures with the r-controlled vowel sounds and write the letter combinations that make these sounds. Eight review pages complete this unit.

Set 10 Contraction Worksheets: provides phonics practice that focus on contractions. Students have the opportunity to identify, match and write contractions. The pages can be used as an introduction to contractions or as review pages for students familiar with contractions.
