LANGUAGE ARTS

Word Family -en Activity

 

here are some words my students came up with: ken, ben, pen, men, den, ten, "wen", zen, jen...

I found this picture on www.lucylearns.com then copied and pasted it on Word to make it a little bigger. I used the "text box" to add "__en" on the eggs. That's it; easy peasy!

  

Final product^^^

You could use this Hen instead. It is much nicer, maybe next time.

Horses + Hands = Farm Math Activity

"Measuring like a Farmer"

I found this super creative idea on Mrs Harrells prek blog.

 

I'm no drawer so I found an outline of a horse on horse-patterns and had my helper trace it. Later I had my students color it.

 

They each wrote their own name and height.

 How many hands  tallare you?
