Penguin Life Cycle Sequencing Activity for Kids

December 2, 2021 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Have you ever watched a group of penguins huddling together to stay warm?

I just watched a video of how they do it.

They actually form circular bands around the youngest and stand with their backs facing out towards the cold.

But they rotate the bands around so that everyone has a chance to be warm in the center. Neat, right?

There’s a lot more to learn about penguins with kids. Which is where this penguin life cycle sequencing activity can help!

Back to School Noun Practice for Second Grade

July 29, 2021 by Selena Robinson 12 Comments

Early elementary grades are some of the most critical times for developing language arts skills.

Kids are learning how to read fluently, how to identify parts of speech, and how to create clear sentences on their own.

As part of second grade language arts standards, children often learn how to form and use both singular and plural nouns.

And that’s why I wanted to share a simple language arts lesson: a printable noun practice for second grade activity with a fun back-to-school theme!

Fun Back to School Noun Sorting Activity for Kids

This simple cut and paste activity is perfect for early grades.

And you can work on the singular and plural nouns and then add in collective nouns when your students are ready.

Singular and Plural Noun Sorting Activity

This noun sorting practice lesson is a cut and paste activity featuring singular nouns, plural nouns, and collective nouns.

Collective nouns are nouns that look like singular nouns but refer to a group, such as “team”, “group”, “class”, etc.

Learning to distinguish between these types of nouns is a critical language arts skill for second grade.

Learning about Singular and Plural Nouns

Once kids decide which picture goes with which noun, they glue them into the box below.

Use the noun writing worksheets for reinforcement after the hands-on activity.

Singular and Plural Noun Sorting Activity for Kids

These also give students a chance to practice writing and spelling plural nouns and collective nouns correctly.

You can also send these writing activities home as an independent practice activity.

Free Printable Flashcards: Shape Flashcards

March 2, 2021 by Selena Robinson 10 Comments

I don’t know what it is about flashcards, but my kids absolutely love them.

They’ll collect them, lay them out on the table, pass them around, look at them, and toss them in the air for hours.

Not sure the tossing actually counts as learning, but it’s…something.

Since shapes are one of the primary concepts to teach early learners, I thought a set of free printable flashcards shape cards would be awesome to share with all of you!

Printable Shape Identification Flashcards

Or you can print the line art version and let the kids color the shapes!

For kindergartners, take the activity a little further by talking about the sides each shape has.

Does anyone else think learning about parts of speech is fun?

If not, it’s possible that it’s just me.

Acorns Alike! Acorn Same or Different Worksheets

September 22, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Until a couple of years ago, we had a massive oak tree in our front yard.

And I mean – massive.

Every year, the yard would be covered with fallen oak leaves and acorns.

Walking through the yard, the kids would always pick up the acorns and play with them.

We noticed that acorns look the same from far away. But when you examine them up close, you can see differences in them – colors, shapes, weight, and sizes.

So I thought acorns would make another excellent theme for visual discrimination in these acorn same or different worksheets!

Simple Acorn Same or Different Worksheets for Kids
