Penguin Color Center
These penguins are from www.makinglearningfun.com. Once they are laminated, I will bind them into a booklet. Students will put the correct colored bow tie onto each penguin using velcro.
Ice Fishing Popcorn Word Center
This idea comes from www.makinglearningfun.com. I will cover a copy box with white paper and cut a hole in the top. Each fish will have a paper clip (see "it"). I will make a fishing rod with a dowel and a magnet. Students will go ice fishing and read the word on the fish they catch.

Non Fiction/Fiction Bulletin Board
These will be the headings for our Nonfiction/Fiction Bulletin Board. Under each title will be an iceberg. As we read stories about penguins, polar bears, and snow, we will write the title of the book on a penguin, polar bear, or snowflake, and then post it on the correct iceberg. I will update once the bulletin board is up.

The Scarecrow's Hat
The animals to go along with this story are from Animal Kingdom. I slimmed down the skunk to make the badger. The props are mostly things I found around the classroom. I bought the hat and sunglasses from the doll section of Michaels.

Halloween Rhyming Activities
The top activity comes from a Mailbox game. I used the cricut to cut the orange and purple circles. Students play as a memory game and match a purple picture to an orange picture to make a rhyming match.
In the bottom activity, each bat has a picture on the left wing. The students find the matching word card to put on the right wing.

Apple Centers
The top center is made from apples using Doodlecharms. I simply cut them each in half and wrote a capital letter on one side and a lower case letter on the other side. The bottom center was made using My Community. I cut the tree (four to a page) in green and then the trunk in brown. I drew apples on the tree, put numbers on the trunks, laminated them and attached velcro dots to the back.

Chicka Chicka Matching Game
The top coconut tree is from Lakeshore. It came with foam letters, but the velcro peeled off and didn't last long. I remade the letters with Mickey Font and laminated them. I laminated them and used velcro on the back. The students can read the story and add or take away the letters to act it out.
The bottom coconut tree was made with Doodlecharms and the fit to page feature. I shadowed it as well. Then I made the lower case letters go around the tree. I wrote uppercase letters on the clothespins. Students reach in to get a clothespin and attach it to the coconut tree on the lowercase letter.
