Fresh Ideas for 2015 plus a GIVEAWAY
I hope your new year is getting off to a great start! For the rest of January we will be bringing you some of our favorite fresh ideas that we have tried/would like to try in our classroom.
I've been busy looking for fun fine motor activities for my little Madelynn and I was thinking how great these would be to use in the classroom! I always have at least a few kinders who struggle with fine motor skills especially at the beginning of the year. I thought these would be great ways to incorporate fine motor skills into our regular activities.
First I love this Colorful Pom Pom Drop activity because it involves both fine motor skills and sorting! I love that all my students would have fun using this with the added benefit of fine motor practice for those that need it.
Check out these awesome Geo-Chalkboards. I love that they could be used over and over for all kinds of matching activities. I would love to use these in small groups.
And last I just love this cute retelling container. It includes free printables for the I know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly story, but they would be so easy to create for multiple stories. I could see putting all of the pieces for a story in a bag with the book at a retelling center for my kiddos to use.
Thanks for checking out my ideas, I'd love to know how you work in fine motor practice in your classroom.
We're also hosting a giveaway to help you in creating all of your fresh ideas for the new year. We're giving away my favorite laminator and 100 extra pouches. I seriously don't know what I would do without this lifesaver! Be sure to enter here!

Great giveaway! I would love to have a Scotch laminator.
ReplyDeleteI love mine, it is such a lifesaver for sure! And now that I am a stay at home mommy I still use it all the time...my husband thinks I'm a little crazy, but I know all my teacher friends totally understand!
DeleteWow, what a wonderful prize! We could certainly use a Scotch laminator; ours at school is very old & doesn't work very well. Thanks for hosting this terrific giveaway.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I love this one so much especially when I find an awesome resource I want to print off and have ready the next day.
