Teachers Helping Teachers:

Vocabulary instruction is an important component of literacy instruction in preschool. It also provides children with an understanding of a variety of words which in turn can help with later reading comprehension. Vocabulary instruction is valuable as it builds the foundation for later reading skills, such as comprehension. A child needs to be taught vocabulary in many different ways.

Using Quizlet At The Younger Levels:

Below you are going to find a nice review quizlet made by icvc.early.learning that seeks to provide a great review resource for you.

QUIZLET: https://quizlet.com/891000310/icvc-early-learning-st-patricks-day-flash-cards/?i=3b2vg\&x=1jqt

Save the link and use it to do any or all of the following:

*Create Review flashcards to send home of the Early Learner words and the sentences tried out in class

*You can play games with them

*Share the link with parents- they can hit play in the car or at home to have the flashcards flip through and review items learned in class

*You can hit play to preview the terms and sentences or review them with your kiddos

*I LOVE doing repeat-after-me activities where the Quizlet reads it and then my kiddos repeat it.

*projecting onto your board, then sounding out the words together is key with the focus being on JUST the words and sentences without the busy pictures and activities around them.

This resource is a science driven, easy to use pack to use when investigating all things pumpkin! Pumpkinology is a great way to incorporate kindergarten science standards in a fun, fall themed way.

Cut off the top of a pumpkin and let them scoop out the insides to count seeds, estimate how many counting cubes tall is a pumpkin, how many paperclips will it take to fit around the pumpkin? Will the pumpkin sink or float? What is the life cycle of a pumpkin? Color or use tissue paper to produce a tear art version to create their very own pumpkin.

I use this resource in my classroom on October 31st as part of our fall party! We investigate all things pumpkin and the grand finale is when we carve a face on the pumpkin, add in baking soda, vinegar and green food coloring to make the pumpkin explode (outside of course)! This is a day your students will remember for years to come!

Teachers can use it as a:

• Halloween party and make each investigation a station
• Week long investigation of pumpkin attributes
• Science project to let little learners estimate what they think will happen
• Fall fun pack
• Lesson on the life cycle of a pumpkin

Happy pumpkin investigating!
