Summer is all about fun in the sun, but if you find yourself teaching summer school or wanting to keep your littles engaged during the break, these activities would be a great addition to your plans.
LITERACY CENTERS:
There are 9 centers, including a summer word wall included in the literacy folder. Your students will have the opportunity to flex their foundational literacy skills while working with colorful, hands-on manipulatives.

Summer Word Wall - Vocabulary Practice
Map Matching - Upper and lowercase identification
Building Letter Cones - Upper and lowercase identification
Floatie Puzzles - Identifying upper and lowercase letters and beginning sounds
Tracing Letters - Letter formation practice
Play Dough Mats - Fine Motor practice and letter tracing
Prewriting Strips - Fine motor practice
Pop the Bubbles - Upper and Lowercase identification
Sandcastle CVC Words - Recognizing and building CVC words.
MATH CENTERS:
The math centers include 10 printable activities that will be both engaging and fun for your students. I like to include sensory bin elements and tools to extend the activities and add a fine motor component.

Campfire Cover - Subitizing with ten frames
Counting Crabs - Roll and Graph
Counting Fish - 1:1 Correspondence
Counting Watermelon Seeds - 1:1 Correspondence
Summer Patterns - AB, ABC, and ABB patterns
Pool day Roll and Cover - Counting with 2 dice
Color Tents - Color discrimination and sort
Roll to 100 - Counting and number sequence exposure
Summer Geoboard Building - Fine motor development
Count and Clip - 1:1 Correspondence
EMERGENT READER:
I absolutely LOVE using emergent readers with my prek students. WHY? Because feeling empowered as a reader is such a wonderful gift. Offering them a predictable text with picture clues allows them to 'read' a text independently and that feeling of 'I can' will hopefully stay with them as they move into Kindergarten and true reading instruction.

This Summer Math and Literacy bundle includes a summer emergent reader that focuses on summer vocabulary and sight words.
Your students or child will enjoy completing their own copy and reading it to their family.
