Pete's Patterns

Pete's Patterns

Here's another Math Workstation for the beginning of school.

Pete Counts Buttons Math Workstation

  

Pete Counts Buttons Cards

I am working on my back to school activities featuring Pete the Cat. I ordered the Pete puppet from amazon.com and he is really cute! I also ordered the large primary button assortment from Oriental Trading to use with this math workstation, but there's a set of buttons included with the cards (This workstation integrates both math and literacy because the cards use color words, too.)

Pete's Big Lunch

Pete's Big Lunch Retelling Literacy Workstation

One of my Literacy Workstations is the Retelling Center. Since Pete is a big favorite with my kindergarteners, I decided he's going to star in my Literacy and Math Workstations in August! Here's the first one, I hope you will enjoy it.

I laminate the sheets, cut out the pieces and either put magnets on the back or velcro ( I still have a small flannel board that I use often in my centers). 

Common Core Aligned:

K.RL.2

With prompting and support, retell familiar stories, including key details.

Kindergarten Works has some fabulous retelling centers, with lots of how to's on setting up a retelling center!

 

I Love Pete!

I am busy working on some Back to School Literacy Workstations featuring Pete the Cat! I love his newest adventures and you will too! Coming soon..........

Pete the Cat Matching Sets Freebie

Pete the Cat Matching Sets Math Workstation

In the Kindergarten Common Core standards students must be able to recognize sets presented in a variety of ways. This will be a math workststation my students will be doing the first of the year.  I added number word cards for later in the year. (I promise you, kindergarteners never tire of Pete the Cat!)

Pete the Cat Counts Buttons Assessment

 Pete the Cat Assessment Pack

In my last post, I promised an assessment for my Pet the Cat Counts Buttons  math workstation. I am going to endeavor to create assessments for workstations this year to help me document my student's progress.

Oriental Trading

 I love buttons and I'm always on the lookout for them. Oriental Trading has two sets that I love. If you need buttons these are some you might want to look at.
 

Pete the Cat Counts Buttons

Pete the Cat Counts Buttons Activity

I was so excited when Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons was published! I love buttons and always use them in my beginning of the year math work stations. So, to celebrate that I have transcribed all 128 Civil War letters that I discussed in my last post, I'm taking a break to create some math workstations for buttons featuring Pete the Cat and other favorite button books. I will try to post an activity several times a week. (I still have a long way to go in finishing my book, but I miss creating new activities for my blogging friends and my upcoming kindergarten class!) Just click on the link under Pete for the download.

P.S. I have found some great Pete the Cat activities out on the web, go to my Pinterest page (http://pinterest.com/lmccardle/) and look for the Pete the Cat board I've created.
