This 188 page bundle includes 5 of my Pre-K for a Day curriculum packs, all related to the theme of Valentine's Day. This bundle would be perfect to use as part of a curriculum lesson plan in February. With all the activities and centers that I stuff into these Theme for a Day packs, this bundle could extend for at least 2 weeks or more. Some activities could be saved until next year. The 5 packs in the bundle each focus on an important concept that can be linked to Valentine's Day. The emphasis is on sharing, caring, and talking about love, as it is experienced in early childhood. Hands-on centers and activities also feature letters, numbers, colors, shapes, pre-writing and emergent reading skills. Here is a peek at some of the pages from the separate packs in the bundle. Friends and Valentines 1 - THE COLOR RED Friends and Valentines 2 - HEART SHAPES Friends and Valentines 3 - WAYS WE COMMUNICATE Friends and Valentines 4 - THE PEOPLE WE CARE ABOUT Friends and Valentines 5 - CELEBRATE VALENTINE"S DAY

The first pack is a "what does not belong?" initial sounds center, plus supporting printables. The children choose which picture out of 3 does NOT begin with the featured letter sound.
Print on cardstock, cut out the cards, 4 to a page, 4 for each letter. Cover the picture that does not belong with a counter, small block etc. To differentiate, vary the number of cards offered. I have also included, a blackline version, so children can color the pages/cards, and cross out the pictures that do not belong.

I love the cute-style Arctic Animals graphics, and use them often. But when we are teaching about the scientific aspects of the animals, such as the habitat, physical characteristics and interaction with the environment, it is important to use more realistic graphics. This Arctic Animals unit has had a lot of good feedback. It is designed for preschool, pre-K and Kindergarten. Here are some pages ... And here's what's in it ... • Full page color posters, (15) Arctic animals included are : Arctic wolf, caribou, musk ox, Polar bear, walrus, Arctic fox, tern, snowy owl, puffin, beluga whale, orca whale, harp seal, narwhal, Dall sheep, Arctic hare . • A “finish the picture” page for each animal in b/w. Discuss the page, read the caption. Children add other things to the picture, suggested by the caption or in the discussion. They can also dictate words for the teacher to write (or try themselves). • Flashcards (4 to a page) for each animal – make games such as match the pairs, concentration/memory, hiding and finding etc. Use for recognition and vocabulary extension. • Fact cards (2 to a page) 1 for each animal. These cards have real photos of the animal, and 3 to 4 interesting facts about them. Can be made into booklets with staples or a ring through holes punched in one corner. • A picture/written word strip for each animal (word wall) • Emergent reader – “Who Lives in the Arctic?” (Color photos) • Emergent reader – “Who Lives in the Arctic” (B/w – children can color pictures. • Game – categorize Arctic Animals/not arctic animals.
