1st Grade Spring Centers

Follow the life cycle of a seed with these colorful sequencing cards. (Black and white cards are also included.)

This is a sample from my "Taking Care of Plants" Science Unit

There are several ways that you can use these pictures:

✿ The students can cut out the pictures and then glue them onto paper in the correct order.

✿ Cut the pictures out ahead of time and laminate them. Mix up the cards and have the students sequence them.

✿ Print two sets of the pictures, cut them out and laminate them. Use the pictures to play a matching game. (If the students find two of the same picture they have a “match” and get to keep the cards. Play until all the pairs are found.) This game works well when played with a partner.

Spring short vowel mini set - Included is one of each of the activities featuring short a.

Students will write and wipe or use manipulative letters. Students will build letters using flower petals, tap out sounds with Mr. Frog, and slowly talk with Mr. Turtle. Turtle and Frog are ready to be printed and attached to popsicle sticks for hopping / walking along each word. Use them again and again in your small groups or centers.

Turtle Talk

Materials - Picture cards, turtle

Directions - 

We will be talking very slowly like a turtle!  We call this turtle talk.  Look at the picture.  What is it?  Say the word slowly.  Tap out every sound you hear.  Write the letters on the card.  Use your turtle to walk and turtle talk the word you made!   

Flower Building

Use the letters on each flower to build words. Each set has 3 pages to provide appropriate support for your students. You will have one blank page, one with the medial sound written, and one with word families.

Hop along with MR. Frog then find a matching picture

I hope you like my sample set featuring short vowel a. I have an extended packet available for purchase that includes all short vowel sounds, and manipulative letters for a total of 88 words in each set.
