Move and Learn! Printable Movement Cards for Kids

March 23, 2021 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Let’s talk about the average attention span of a primary student, shall we?

If you’re a parent or a teacher, I don’t have to tell you about it.

You. Already. Know.

They can start saying something and get distracted halfway through their own sentence.

So, it’s always good to include as many movement breaks as you can in the early grades. They’re helpful for refocusing, shaking out the wiggles, indoor recess, and getting the kids excited for what they’ll learn next.

And that’s why I’m sharing these Move & Learn! printable movement cards for kids today!

Printable Movement Cards for Early Learners

These are so handy for early grades lessons, especially when the students are just not “into it” that day.

They’re also great for homeschooling parents who are working with early learners at home.

Apple Life Cycle Sequencing Activity

August 17, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Nothing says “fall is coming” like apples.

I’ve always loved using an apple theme when teaching and apples still make a fun theme for learning in early grades.

But instead of just seeing apples everywhere, it’s good for students to learn exactly how apples grow.

It’s not only a good science concept – it’s part of our everyday life!

So I thought it would be fun to combine an apple theme for fall along with a sequencing concept for science.

And that’s just what this apple life cycle sequencing activity does!

Talk about how apple cores contain the seeds for a new apple tree and the steps that the plant goes through before we get to pick the new apples.

Then cut out the picture cards and let them try to retell the correct sequence by placing the picture cards on the blank mat in the right order!

You can use this resource as a cut and paste activity with scissors and glue. Or you can laminate it and add hook and loop dots to make it reusable.
