Roll and Cover Game Boards

I finally finished a Roll and Cover set of games. There are game boards for seasons and holidays. Each season or holiday is in black and white and in color and has three different levels depending on where each student is at. The kids love these games plus it's really good for counting and number recognition. I hope you enjoy them. Peace and Hugs, Lisa

Kindergarten Journal Writing  Through the Year


Happy day after Thanksgiving! I am so blessed with so many things. Here are my latest project I finished. This year we lost our aide which has made things a little difficult. I have been lucky to have parents. We also switched things around and we now have a regroup time with both kinder classes. We are able to make reading groups from either 5-10 kids since our reading teachers come down. It's for 25 minutes and it is awesome! Well that meant we only had an hour to do centers. We needed four groups so I decided to do journal writing one day a week. I always have a parent there but my partner doesn't. I have a close sentence and ideas of what they could write with the words and pictures. The kids seem to like it and I think it teaches them to be a little more independent. You can find it here on my teachers pay teachers account. I have four different journal entries for each month. I hope you like it. Hugs, Lisa

Short Vowel Word/Picture Game

My students had so much fun during center time yesterday. I made these simple games and they loved them. They are picture game boards where you read a word card and then find the picture it goes with. I know not rocket science but they loved them! You can check them out here.

Math Games


My students love these games! The first is called Plus 2. It's for two students. You need the game board and two different colors of counters plus one die. Roll the die and add two. Whatever the number is you put a counter on it and then your opponent gets a turn. The winner is the one to cover all their numbers. The kids love it plus it is such great addition practice. There is also Plus 3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and 10 and Minus 1, 2, and 3. Enjoy!

Enjoy the game!




Dr. Seuss Week!

That Year Went Fast!!!    

Wow what a fabulous first year back in kinder! I absolutely loved it! I had the best class with the best parents and a wonderful partner!!!. I seriously have no idea how it could have been better.

Here are a few pictures of some things I loved about kinder this year.

Candy Counting, Fish Counting, Gum Ball Counting, Frog Counting or Ant Counting

Students will have a set of cards and use counters to count the amount that is needed on each card. I bought the frogs, ants, and fish on Amazon. The gum ball counters are like tiddlywinks. It's great counting practice and the kids will love counting different kinds of counters.
