Made it Monday!

Happy July and happy Monday, peeps!

I am linking up for Made it Monday.

I made these little syllable caterpillars:

 

I found this idea from PreK Pages.  (Her blog is fabulous!)

To use them, students will start with three pool noodle pieces and the caterpillar.  I will show a picture and students will add the number of pool noodles to equal the number of syllables in the word.  Then we will say the word and push the noodle pieces toward the head of the caterpillar as we say each syllable.

Ta-da!  Simple and fun!

Have a happy Monday!

Silly Syllables

We have been practicing syllables this syllables and I am ONE HAPPY TEACHER!  Wow wee wow!  These kids rock!  We started the week with Fran Kramer's Winter Syllable Book and used tambourines to beat out the syllables.

We also blew out our syllables with party blowers with Julie Lee's Frosty Fun Unit on TPT.

I also created a document that had a picture of all my students and a line underneath to record the syllables in their friends' names.  We used slinkies to stretch the syllables in our friends' names.
