KindergartenWorks: Top 3 Kindergarten Teaching Ideas this Week {5-15}

Its that time again – I’m featuring my favorite kinder teaching ideas to use this week from last Thursday’s linky party. I hope you find something fantastic that you’d like to try doing or try teaching.

These are just the top 3 teaching ideas that I had time to highlight, so a huge thank you for those who took the time to link up their fabulous teaching ideas!

4. Buggy Discover Bags – Bring non-fiction bug collections into the classroom as science centers or a literacy center. Add any plastic creatures that you have to add fun to it and get kids engaged in learning buggy facts. Think of all the connections they'll be making between life cycles! {Free download}

1. Blogging With Kindergartners - Have you ever thought of giving students a space to jot down their stories or science observations? Find one teacher's tips and things she's learned by creating blogs for her kindergarten students. With all of the technology kids are learning, this is a great step to connect classmates and bring in parents.

2. Cindy Moo - This lesson plan will help you break down working on questioning as a comprehension strategy with your students and connect to it. Get students moving and bring in the common core standards of comparing two pieces on the same topic with Hey Diddle Diddle. It's all broken down for you - ready, set, teach!
