It's Tuesday!! St. Patrick's Day is less than a week away!! Since it is my favorite holiday, as well as a reminder that spring is right around the corner, I wanted to make a few activities to incorporate the holiday into my classroom. I needed a new activity for my Pocket Chart Center, so I made two that had a St. Pat's Day theme. One is a Language Arts and the other is Math.
This activity has students reading sight words to check behind them to see if there's a leprechaun hiding there. After I printed out the cards, I glued them onto sheets of construction paper. I used colors that matched the groups I have. Red, blue, and green are the colors of my groups.
My students pick the set of cards that match their group and put those into the pocket chart. Then they hide the leprechauns behind them and take turns reading the cards to check behind them and see if they can catch the leprechaun!
The other activity I made for the pocket chart was for math.
In this activity, students choose a numeral card and have to find the matching set. Once found, they can check behind the set to see if there's a pot of gold hiding there. They can continue searching for pots of gold until they find them all, and the one with the most cards is the winner! :-)
Tomorrow I'll be sharing all about my newest rhyming activity. On our kindergarten assessment, as a grade level we showed a deficit in rhyming skills, so I'll be making several activities to try and help address that need!!
