Pigs in Wigs and Johnny Appleseed Centers in Action!

Last week our story was Pig in Wig. I *love* this story and it's always a hit with my kids too. On Friday we made our own Pigs in wigs and completed our Realism and Fantasy chart.




It's almost Johnny Appleseed time! I love this time of year and celebrating Johnny Appleseed's birthday is one of my favorite celebrations in first grade. I thought I'd share some of the centers *in action* so you could see how they are done. I'm a visual person and I always like to see centers being done. :)

Apple Addition: Students will write the complete addition sentence after they have matched up the addition picture to the sum.

 Sorting Odd and Even numbers

 Sorting CVC words by short vowel sounds

 ABC Order

 Number/Number Word Match Up

 Rhyming words 


 Sight word graphing

 What's the Missing Number? This targets which numbers come before after  and in between.

 Number Word/Dice Match Up


 Which Number is Less? This can also be done as Which Number is Greater?


 Syllable Sort

All 12 centers are included in my Johnny Appleseed Unit, which you can find here

*****Check back later in the week for a big thank you gift!!
