US Symbols Promethean Flip chart and student mini book- FREE!

As many of you may know, I had a Promethean Board in my Kindergarten Classroom.  

Well, this time every year I would teach a mini unit on the US symbols.  I would use the flip chart below to briefly discuss each symbol. I tried to tie in my literacy & math with it as well.

You can grab this flipchart for FREE by clicking the picture above!

PS-I'm not sure if the font will transfer because I used a specialty font.. if it doesn't please do not leave bad feedback.  Email or comment and I will fix it ASAP!

I created a fill in the blank student book that follows the flip chart.  Click the picture below to snag it while it's FREE!

 For now, the book is free on Google docs, but this time next year I plan to have an entire unit up on US symbols.  If you grab this freebie, please follow my blog and tpt store to receive updates!

US Math & Literacy Centers-- FREEBIE!

Happy President's Day!!! I hope you are enjoying your day off.  Holidays aren't just fun because you get some time off to spend with family.. they are also fun because you can plan a unit around them!  

Here are pictures of my US Math & Literacy Centers.  I did not create an entire unit because I always like to pull from others.  So, I created some things I found useful in my classroom.  They would be the perfect addition to any unit!  There are 4 math and 4 literacy centers.

1.  Measure America:  This math center can be done with unifix cubes, die cut stars, counters, or whatever you want to use.  I have added a strip of stars for you to use if you'd rather just print it in color.

 2.  Eagle Addition:  Count the stars, dots, stickers, or whatever you use add em up and write the number sentence.

 3.  Colorful stars:  My kiddos LOVE doing these pages.  Give them a magnifying glass and ask them to find the color word on the star.  Write it on their paper and color the star to match.

 4.  Washington Words:  I thought I'd change up the CVC station and ask them to think of a word using the word family.  Then, color Washington to match.

 5.  Lincoln Letters:  Find the letters, circle them with the correct color and count to see how many you found.  I added the "Extra Extra" at the bottom, because my class ability is always so wide spread.. I have some that will take FOREVER with this, and some that will finish in 2 minutes.. This will give an added activity, instead of just drawing on the back for fun.

 6.  Bald Eagle Blends: Look at the picture, say the word out loud and write the blend on your paper.

 7.  Starry Sight Words:  Find the stars that match, build the word, write it on your paper and color the star to match.  My kiddos LOVE doing this center as well.  

8.  Washington Roll & Cover:  And last but not least---- your FREEBIE!  Thanks for stopping by.  Click the picture to grab it.
