Need a new idea for word work or writing letters?

Need a new idea for word work or writing letters? Try writing on foil! It works just like a dry erase marker. We all it “ice writing”. All you do is give each kiddo a piece of foil and dry erase marker. Then put out word cards, name cards, sight word cards, or letter cards. They simply pick a card and write it! These word cards are in my Polar Animals Math and Literacy Centers unit. . . . . . . . . #Teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #iteachprek #iteachpreschool #learningthroughplay #playmatters #iteachtoo #pocketofpreschool #preschoolteacher #preschoollife #prekteacher #prekinder #wordwork #writing #teachersfollowteachers

Ice sensory and science investigation.... can you

Ice sensory and science investigation.... can you make the ice melt faster? They can use salt, water, shovels, and droppers (@learningresources) to make the ice melt faster. It’s super easy to set up. All I did was freeze water (added a bit of blue food coloring to each after bowl before I put it in the freezer). Then I put the blue ice, regular ice, a bowl of water, and a bowl of salt in a @sterilitecorporation tub. Oh and make sure you place a towel or two under it to catch all the water that magically flies out 🤣. I had this planned for preschool but we had a snow day. My little guy had a fever all day do I set it up for him to help him cool down. . . . . . . . #Teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #iteachprek #iteachpreschool #learningthroughplay #playmatters #iteachtoo #pocketofpreschool #preschoolteacher #preschoollife #prekteacher #prekinder #lifeofateacher #homeschool #homeschooling #inviatationtoplay #finemotorskills #sensoryplay #sensorybin

Letter snowflake sort! All I did was draw big snowflakes on butcher paper with a bingo dauber (India Ink inside) and write letters at the ends with a white paint marker. Students sorted uppercase and lowercase letters and friends do many conversations were happening all about letters and sounds! Love love love starting the day with an activity that gets the kids up, moving, and talking to each other about letters and sounds! . . . . . . #Teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #iteachprek #iteachpreschool #learningthroughplay #playmatters #iteachtoo #pocketofpreschool #preschoolteacher #preschoollife #prekteacher #prekinder #lifeofateacher #homeschool #homeschooling #butcherpaperactivity #teachersfollowteachers #letteractivity

The dramatic play center is that up as an ice rink right now in my classroom and swipe right to see all the different parts. Did you see all the math literacy and gross motor experiences that are embedded in to their play? Friends so much learning and development can happen during play IF you plan and set up your centers with intention. you can grab the ice rink dramatic play printable pack from my TpT store or check it out on my blog (just search ice rink). . . . . . . . #Teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #iteachprek #iteachpreschool #learningthroughplay #playmatters #iteachtoo #pocketofpreschool #preschoolteacher #preschoollife #prekteacher #prekinder #lifeofateacher #homeschool #homeschooling #inviatationtoplay #sensoryplay #sensorybin #processart #pretendplay #dramaticplay

Winter sensory tub and they are obsessed! It’s just cotton balls, gems, tweezers, empty Voss water bottles, and letter caps (water bottle caps with letter stickers on them and panted with modge podge). They use the tweezers to get the cotton balls out of the jars. It’s the best fine motor work ever too! . . . . . . . #Teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #teacherspayteachers #iteachprek #iteachpreschool #learningthroughplay #playmatters #iteachtoo #pocketofpreschool #preschoolteacher #preschoollife #prekteacher #prekinder #lifeofateacher #homeschool #homeschooling #inviatationtoplay #finemotorskills #literacycenters #sensoryplay #sensorybin

Love love love penguin directed drawings! Grab this freebie on my blog... search polar animals and click on the polar animals activities post! For icy background sprinkle kosher salt in the wet watercolor background before it dries. Once it’s dry brush off the salt and reveal the so beautiful icy texture that the salt created. . . . . . . . . #Teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #iteachprek #iteachpreschool #directeddrawing #iteachtoo #pocketofpreschool #preschoolteacher #preschoollife #prekteacher #prekinder #lifeofateacher #homeschool #homeschooling #kidart #teachersfollowteachers

Qtip Painting with pastel colors! The students helped me make the paint by a mixing white and the color in the cups. Painting with Q tips is amazing fine motor work and strengths those littles fingers too ❤️ One kiddo I have rarely goes to art to paint but he basically ran over when he saw me setting this up! I think it’s because it’s less messy and he can be more detailed and exact with the Q tips. I put the paints in small plastic I got from my moms restaurant. The cups have lids too so I can easily save the leftover paint for tomorrow or another project. I use these all.the.time for all the things! . . . . . . #Teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #iteachprek #iteachpreschool #teachersfollowteachers #learningthroughplay #playmatters #iteachtoo #pocketofpreschool #preschoolteacher #preschoollife #prekteacher #prekinder #lifeofateacher #homeschool #homeschooling #inviatationtoplay #finemotorskills #processart
