Monster Centers and Monster Fun!

What a fun, busy week!  Here's a peek at what our stations looked like this week.  My kids loved these centers and were truly engaged.  I love that my kiddos are catching on to our routine and doing their work so well!  Here's how it all went down...

patterning with monsters

Syllable counting...this is included in my Monster's TpT Unit

We sorted M's and not M's...funny how they turned some of the W's to be M's...SMART!

(this activity is in the Monster Unit)

We listened for beginning sounds...If it started with /m/ it got a smiley, if not it got a frowny

this is included in the unit

Here we practiced recognizing Mm and writing Mm by tracing the letter...

I think lowercase m will win

(this is included in the unit)

We have a pocket chart story every week.  Throughout the year they include most of our sight words and get harder over time...this week they practiced the word AM and color words.

(this is included in the unit)

practicing sight words...this activity is in the unit as well.

We are still working on recognizing numbers to 6...these roll and dot games really help!

Practicing one-to-one and writing numbers.

We measured monsters with cubes

These are our unfinished monster glyphs....we have to add the nose

But they're cute huh?

Our cookie monsters sorted shape cookies..I LOVE how cute these turned out!

We are using Kim Jordano's poetry journal for our letter poems each week.  This is our M poem.  We have a journal where we find the M's and such.  My student teacher is making me a set of all of the poetry cards and they are too cute!

We finished our Pete's and they turned out adorable.  This came from Deanna's Pete the Cat packet.

 We are having our monster mash tomorrow so I'll post a few pictures then.
