Letters In Your Name Graph

We did this as a center activity.  Each student wrote his or her name one letter per square.  Then they glued them to the chart and counted how many letters.  We looked at who has the most. least, and the same.

Seasons of the Apple Tree

We painted the students' arm and hand brown and stamped it four times.  We used scrunched tissue paper for the spring apple blossoms.  Summer leaves were sponged on and apples are thumbprints.  Students ripped orange, red, and yellow construction paper for fall leaves.  Glitter made the snow.  After, we labeled each season and wrote My Apple Tree.

Brown Bear Alphabet Game and Popcorn Words

I made these alphabet cards for our Brown Bear unit.  Some students are still learning letter names while others are ready for initial sounds.  I stamped the back with a Stamping Up! set so I can use them for both groups.  I also cut some bears for our popcorn words.

Hello, I Am . . .

I got these name tags at Target in the Dollar Spot.  We had them up on a bulletin board at first.  When I took them down, I bound them into a book.
