Animals in Winter Stations

Hello Parents!  This week we read the story One Little Mouse.  The mouse from the story visits several animals in search for a new home.  We sequenced the events in the story in the chart below.  Students referred to the chart throughout the week.  

The following pictures are from our literacy stations:

Word family stamping- students read, stamp, trace, write, and draw the word on their paper.  They then pick one word from the -at word family to use in a sentence on the back of their paper.

Hedgehog's Words- students select a hedgehog from the basket.  They then write all the sounds they hear to match the picture.  

Finally, they color the hedgehog on their paper to match the color of the hedgehog they selected from the basket.  

Owl Sight Word Practice- students select an owl from the basket.  We have been learning about tall letters, short letters, and letters with "tails."  

Finally students find the letter boxes where their word will fit and write the word on their paper.  

The End is in Sight- students select a bear from the basket and listen for the ending sound of the picture.  

Students then write the ending sound in the box and color their bear to match.  

Migrating Middles- students select a bird from the basket and look at the picture on the bird. 

They then write the vowel they hear in the middle of the word.  Finally they color their bird to match.  (Source: Hedgehog's Words, Owl Sight Word Practice, The End is in Sight, and Migrating Middles are from Julie Lee's Animals in Winter TPT packet)

Here are pictures of our math stations:

Wake Me in Spring- students select a cave and count the bears inside.  

They then write the number in the box, draw tally marks to match the number and also write the number word.  Finally they color the bear on their paper to match the color of the bears in the cave.  

Fox Frames- students select a fox from the basket and read the number.  

They then write the number and color their ten frame to match.  

Order the owls- students select the three matching owls from the basket.  They then order the owls from least to greatest.  They write the numbers in the correct order on their paper and color their owl to match the color of the owls selected.  

Sweater Math Match Up- students count the dots on the sweaters and find the matching number on a pair of pants.  

After finding a match, students write the number in the box and color the sweater on their paper.

Students loved spreading all the sweaters and matching pants across the floor!
