Ways to Use: Phonics Centers: Because kids love anything that involves scissors and glue. Independent Practice: Keeps them focused (and quiet!) while building real skills. Homework (if you’re brave): Parents will thank you. Or at least not complain. Morning Work: Calm, quiet, and educational. That’s the dream, right? Early Finishers: Give them something purposeful to do that isn’t spinning in their chair. Why You’ll Love It: Hands-on learning that feels like play. Builds CVC word confidence, one vowel at a time. No prep required, print and go! Improves fine motor skills without chaos (mostly). Keeps little hands busy and little minds learning. Cut, glue, learn, and breathe, phonics just got a lot more fun.

Do your kids like to sort things? I think this is a fun way to help your little ones, who are in preschool or kindergarten learn about sorting and putting things into groups. This is great for kids who are just starting school because it helps them learn skills in a way that is fun and playful. ✨ So how does it work? Students look at cards with pictures on them. They have to decide which group each card belongs to. They do this by feeding the card to a monster, which is a fun way for them to learn about different ideas they might see at school. ✨ What do you get? ✔ One hundred cards with words and pictures on them ✔ Ten mats with monsters on them which the kids use to sort the cards ✔ The cards are sorted into groups so it is easy for the kids to understand ✔ All of the cards and mats are colorful and look like cartoons, which kids like ✨ There are five different levels of sorting: 1. Things you do at school versus things you do at home 2. Good behavior at school versus behavior 3. How you feel versus how you do not feel 4. ✏ Things you use every day at school versus things you only use 5. Things you bring to school versus things you leave at home It is really easy to get started. Just print out the cards and mats cut them out. You are ready to go. If you want them to last a time you can laminate them. You can use them over and again with small groups of kids or with kids who finish their work early. ✨ This is perfect, for: • The week of school • Teaching kids social skills • Helping kids understand their emotions. Behave well • Building vocabulary • Speech therapy My students love sorting with the monsters. They laugh and learn and they like to talk about the choices they make. It is one of their things to do in class.
