*A printable letter for families titled, “I’m Not Your Friend”. This letter helps to reassure families that while hearing the words “I’m not your friend” may cause some hurt feelings, it’s not the end of the world for their child.

*12 page printable book, “I’m not your friend.” This book features an adorable little monster who negotiates friendship dilemmas and learns how to ask for help when he needs it.

*”Can I Play?” - Sometimes children are excluded because they don’t have the social skills to ask to play. This section of the packet teaches children three important rules of asking to play.

*”Can I Play?” color poster that highlights the 3 important rules

*Five social scenarios that will help children learn the 3 rules of asking to play. The first three scenarios are for you to read to the children. These are intended to inspire class discussions. The last two include questions so that the children can decide what the characters should do next.

*Friendship Flowers- A visual cue to help children remember some of the skills they can use to make and keep friends.

*Please keep in mind that bullying is NEVER ok. Teaching children how to handle hurt feelings does not mean that you tolerate bullying. If you feel that there is bullying behavior in your school, it is your responsibility as a teacher to end it.

Also included in this bundle is "How do they Feel?" Printable Book (my current best-selling product!)

This printable book is designed to help children identify the emotions that other people might be feeling. Each page contains an illustration of a child and a short description of what that child has experienced, followed by the question, "How does ____ feel?"

For example, on one page a girl is shown with an ice cream cone that has fallen to the ground. The text on that page says, "Ella dropped her ice cream cone on the sidewalk. How does Ella feel?"

Teachers or parents can use the mini-stories on each page to help children identify and talk about their own emotions as well as the emotions of others. Children are encouraged to look at facial features and body language to help to identify the feelings of other people.

NEW JUNE 2024:

get a LETTERS ONLY version or a PARTS OF SPEECH only version.

These activities at the most basic level introduce children to words that correspond to the key letter, but to enhance learning and create collaboration, include older siblings / children.

Activities within:

• read an excerpt on each ballpoint person, w/bolded words that focus on key letter
• reading comprehension questions (2-4 each letter)
• parts of speech - circle the part each bolded word is

The reading comp and parts of speech pages may be more appropriate for older children (4-6th grade); the letter name/sound activity in the bolded words is better for younger kids (under grade 4). Depending on learning level, special needs, etc. some of this will be review or perhaps too challenging with only one age group or child. It's flexible on purpose!

I also have individual letter sets!

But your best value is with any of the bundles, including this one.

• vowels bundle
• ALL LETTERS (BEST DEAL, as it's ALL letters, parts of speech AND reading activities all combined and at their lowest total price)

What's Included in the Bundle?

-Fruit Word Wall Cards

Set of 18 word wall/vocabulary cards covering all of the fruits included in these resources. Cards are in full color and come with a write and wipe version to laminate and include in a writing center. Great for introducing the fruits before using the other resources in this bundle.

-Vegetables Word Wall Cards

Set of 22 word wall/vocabulary cards covering all of the vegetables included in these resources. Cards are in full color and come with a write and wipe version to laminate and include in writing centers. Great for introducing the vegetables before using the other resources in this bundle.

-Fruit & Veggie Bingo

This complete bingo set comes with bingo caller cards, card markers in two different designs, and 30 unique full-page bingo cards. Perfect for learning food groups, introducing new foods, practicing fruit and veggie vocab, or for speech therapy, young learners and ESL students! These are ready to cut apart and go, or laminate and use again and again.

-Fruit & Veggie Bingo Jr for Young Learners

This complete bingo set comes with bingo caller cards, card markers in two different designs, and 30 unique full-page bingo cards. This game is set up just like the regular bingo set except that the spaces are larger and there are fewer spaces on the bingo card so that younger students can follow along with the game. The two games work seamlessly together since they use the same bingo caller cards, so they are great for mixed age classrooms, after school care, homeschools, and more.

-Fruit and Vegetable Montessori Style 3-Part Cards

Each fruit and vegetable 3-part card comes with a control card that includes both the picture and name of the fruit/vegetable plus a two-part card, one with the picture and the other with the name, so that students can match them. These are a fun way to add manipulatives into your classroom or home!

These are ready to print, laminate and go! They come in both full color and black and white so that you can use the black and white version to include a coloring/fine motor component. Laminate a set of the color cards for classroom use, then give students a set of black and white cards to color, personalize, and take home for additional practice!

-Fruit & Vegetable Word & Letter Puzzles

Match the fruit or veggie to the word and letter in these puzzles! There are two styles of puzzles: one is a two piece puzzle with the picture of the produce one one side and the word for it on the other. The other style is a three piece puzzle with one piece showing the word, one piece showing the picture, and the other piece showing the beginning letter of the produce. There are a total of 82 puzzles featuring 18 fruits and 22 vegetables.

These are low prep and need to be laminated, but are full color and ready for literacy centers, early finishers, preschool centers and more. They are self-checking with different cuts in the middle that line up, but when I use them I draw a different shape on the back of each puzzle before laminating so that when they're matched, they can be flipped over to check for a complete shape.

-Fruit & Vegetable Memory Game w/ 3 versions

The classic game of memory with a fruit and veggie twist! 3 different versions provide several ways to play the game: one set of cards has pictures and words, one has just pictures, and one has just words. Mix and match to increase the difficulty of the game. For example, mix the picture only cards with the word only cards to have students match the word to the picture! Print cards on cardstock or laminate for durability.

-Fruit & Vegetable Themed Worksheets

Supplemental worksheets for literacy centers, math centers, early finishers, or just to use alongside a unit on nutrition.

Worksheets included in this set:

-6 Match the Fruit/Vegetable Worksheets - students cut and paste picture of fruit or vegetables onto the word for each

INCLUDED:

• Preschool Schedule + Guide
• Editable Homeschool Planner + Activities (Preschool Basics)
• Groceries Play Center - Life Skills *
• Early Learning standards - FULL Lesson Plan Template

*The Groceries Play Center actually is best with older kids, but parts could still be used in preschool settings:

• using printed images/items for pretend / imaginative play
• no exact counting necessary with the money

Whether you're homeschooling or teaching preschoolers, each of these resources could give you a leg up. I had those in mind in the earlier stages of teaching preschoolers or homeschooling. But if you're seasoned at it, consider browsing these each on their own, and see if you can't also get something out of these. Enjoy!

OTHER RESOURCES YOU MIGHT LIKE:

• all my behavior and social/emotional tools
• all my teacher essentials
• Info Guide for Parents & Teachers: Reinforcement & Punishment
