I set this up as ten activity centers that my students rotated through all morning long. My kindergarten students got to keep track of each activity as they moved along in groups of 2 or 3 students.
It was so much FUN! You can do 1 or 2 activities in a whole group setting for pre-k or all 10 independently with your first grade students. There is a FREEBIE in the preview.
American Symbol Writing: Use these cute flag templates for writing. Pre-K can illustrate their favorite national symbol in the box at the top and then copy the name of their symbol on the lines provided. The in-between blank lines should be colored red. They should color the background of their illustration with blue.
When these are posted on a bulletin board, they look like American flags, but when you get closer, you can see the writing and illustrations.
So cute!
So cute!
The set comes with different size lines you can have your students write more or less. My kindergarten students used this activity to practice opinion writing.
They copied the name of their favorite symbol and then they wrote why they liked it.
First grade students can write more. It's also perfect for descriptive writing where students can describe their favorite American symbol.

Pre-K students can trace the descriptive words (written in a dotted font) and then choose the construction paper heart to match each description. Kindergarten students can create their own construction paper hearts to match the description. First grade students can also create their own hearts and they can embellish them too.
I fold a piece of 12"X18" construction paper to create a 12"X12" pocket. The 8.5"X 5.5" description pages fit nicely on the pocket flap and the hearts fit in the pockets.
Your students will LOVE this take-home book which they can read to their parents.
Five Cheerful Valentines Subtraction Book: This cute mini book demonstrates subtraction from five in a fun way.
Students write their friends' names on the blank lines and then, they get to color and decorate the hearts which demonstrates subtraction by one until you are left with none.
