Please check it.

It is a good idea to complete all your worksheets and bring in a model of the activity. Students will know what is expected from them to do.

Ws elementary 1:  Students read and color as indicated.

Grab some bottle caps and have children place them where you tell them.

Teacher: red bottle cap on the sandwich.

Finish the indications.

Teacher: Where is the blue bottle cap?

Students: On the milk.

Teacher: Where is the juice ?

Students: Under the green bottle cap.

Have them cut apart the cards and make up their own game, it can be memory, match, board game, etc.

Worksheet elementary 2:

And a worksheet can be turned into anything. I made a mobile!

Worksheet elementary 3: pizza shapes. More activities to do with a worksheet. Tell the children that they are going to complete the complete the pizza slice with some shapes (give them the shape template or have them make the shapes), But there are some rules.

Place the cards on a pocket chart or the board.  They can only color the shapes in the colors on the cards( red, blue, yellow, green, orange), they can only use the shapes on the worksheet and that there shouldn´t be more than 5 of each shape in the same color. 

 Have the children complete the worksheet. When finished, play BINGO!

Have the children get a marker or crayon in black, instruct them that when you name the shape with number and color , if they have it , it should be crossed out.

Teacher: Four green circles. (Use the cards to call out Bingo!)

Worksheet 4. Sort items into food or drinks.

Worksheet 5. Counting.

Food Unit Worksheet 6.  This worksheet is help express likes and dislikes related to food. Students cut from magazines pictures of the food they like and don't like.

Worksheet 7.  

Worksheet 8. 

Found a different kind of graph making on the newsletter of the www.Mailbox.com.

 I placed the graph paper horizontally inside a sheet protector. I tied yarn to each hole, so each child can place their own clothespin in their choice. The file will be free, the link is above.

Sort countable and uncountable food flashcards on the board. Students can do the same on their notebooks using the flashcard worksheet or from magazine cutouts.

Use the flashcards to introduce how to ask questions with countable and uncountable nouns.

 Draw a grid on the board and assign a number to each flashcard.

Have students write a sentence on their notebooks for each number. 

Review countable and uncountable nouns in a sentence.

Number 1: It´s a hot dog.

Number 2: It´s pizza.

Number 7: They´re hot dogs.

Teacher: Number 8 !

Students: It´s soup.

Teacher: Number 10!

                                                   Students: They´re sandwiches.

                                                      A book !

Same resource on another store:

                                      Watch the video:

Collect all kinds of calendar even if they are old to help out during the lesson. Use a real calendar to show the day and months of the year. The calendar helps understand numbers up to 31.  Have the students  identify the days of the week in the calendar and how many days in each month . 

Introduce the days of the week using the cards.

Hand in the cards in random order to seven students that will come to the front. They have to arrange themselves in order.
Ask questions. Teacher: What day is it ?
                         Student: It’s Monday!
         Teacher: Tuesday, come to the front. Show your card.
Teacher: Ursula,What is your favorite day of the week ?
Ursula: It’s Wednesday. (the students with the card shows it to the class).

I made cards to help ordering the days of the week. There are also abbreviation cards. The students order the days of the week and match the correct abbreviation.

Introduce the Months of the Year  using the cards. You can also use them for the Birthday unit.

Game: Go to Month.  Stick the cards on the wall in a random order. Bring a group of students to the middle of the room.

Teacher: January!  The students go  to the  January card and touch it and says the word. Continue with all the other months of the year, or days of the week.

Here the abbreviations  cards for the months. I resarched and there are two ways to abbreviate June and July. I placed both just in case. use the cards to order the months and match the abbreviations.

Continue with the ordinals numbers. There are the numbers and the word cards. Students should learn the ordinal numbers for telling dates. Explain that the ordinal numbers are used to express order. Use the cards to play a game connecting the ordinal number and the written form .

Question and answer cards. Prepare the question cards in one colored paper and the answer cards which are the days and months in other colored paper.

Activity 1-You can place the question cards in a bag or facedown in a pile on your desk. Draw a question card and read it to the class. Have the children answer orally or write the answer on their notebooks.

Activity 2- Divide the class into groups . Tell the class that you are thinking of a word , day or month. Star giving some clues.

Teacher: the first letter is J and the last letter is Y.

The students look through the cards and guess the word. The first team to say : JULY, is the winner of a point. Continue with more words.

Also use the ordinal numbers cards  to order the days and the month such as, 1^st day of school is Monday, the first month is January.

Explain how to write the date by writing the number of the month  (8), followed by a slash and the number of the day 8/25. Write the date on the board every class.

I made days of the week crowns  for Preschool students, but I guess they might work well for older students. You can use them to help them line up in order as a warm up game.

If you just want the crowns, get them here:    https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Days-of-The-Week-Crowns-1722398

Pocket charts: I find them useful to review the calendar the whole school year.

I included cute months of the year cards.

Have the students create a calendar for the year. There is a blank clandar template where the students will color and paste their month and write the numbersfor each day as in the year you are doing it.
