Welcome To Another New Year In Kindergarten!!
I love heading back to school after winter break. In Kindergarten you work so hard to establish routines during the first half of the year. The second half of the year is all about learning and getting ready for first grade. As a teacher you put so much work into the fist half of the year that you are ready and deserving of a little break to recharge your battery and get ready for the awesome reading, writing and mathematical thinking that takes place during the second half of the year in Kindergarten.
Who Doesn't Love a Good FREEBIE?????
It is always good to start off the second half of the year with a little New Year celebration. For years I have had my students make a Happy New Year resolution balloon. We read a couple of stories about New Year's and they write a promise that they hope to keep in the New Year. I love that their promises are usually household chores and linked to whatever their parents are constantly asking them to do. Their excitement about putting their clothes away, cleaning their room, feeding their pets and helping with the dishes is very inspiring. Check out this FREEBIE activity in my TpT Store. I would love to hear about your students' resolutions in the comments below or tag me on your social media posts.
In preparation for the New Year I found these other New Year's Day FREEBIES on Teachers Pay Teachers. There is something about a hat that makes a celebration complete, a simple number review is good for little mathematicians, a New Year's poem is a great addition to your students' poetry collection and crafts are always a win. Enjoy welcoming your students to the New Year with these fun activities!
Here's to a great year full of lots of
learning and laughter with your students!
