Distance Learning Packets for TK or Kinder - Winter WEEK 4! (NO PREP PRINTABLES!)

Another week, another Distance Learning packet!! This is Winter Week 5 Distance Learning packet for TK! This is a great packet to use for one of the first few weeks back after the new year, or your final weeks before the December Holiday break! In this file, you will find all of the work for one week of school for TK, with some worksheets that will work for Kindergarten, for both Math and Language Arts subjects. We've included a variety of worksheets and activities, so feel free to use any or all of it with your students!



This week focuses on the letter O, reviewing numbers 0-10, and the sight word "for". There are worksheets/activities for the letter O, along with a new fun "Number Ladder" fluency practice for numbers 0-10. We have a shapes trace practice page for triangle and rectangle, a hidden numbers worksheet for number 10, and a sentence writing page. 



Hands on activities include Number Hunt Game, Let's Build a Snowman Book, Spin a Beginning Sound Game, Hexagon Dinosaur Project, Pattern Jenga Game, Draw & Tell Curious Mouse - guided drawing & story, Sight Word Path Game, Fall vs. Winter Season Sort, and a Marshmallow Snowman STEM project. Directions and some templates for art projects are included, along with photos of each completed project. Please note that this packet is appropriate for either TK or Kindergarten, but can be used in Kindergarten depending on your class needs.



In my experiences, children in TK generally need much more time to learn, and even more developmentally appropriate, hands-on activities than are necessary for most children in Kindergarten. A list of recommended HeidiSongs music videos for the week is also included, and it links to our HeidiSongs internet video site. However, a subscription to our internet video streaming site is not included. You are welcome to eliminate this page as needed.



We've divided everything up by day of the week, (Monday-Friday) so you have the option of sending this entire packet to students, with everything labeled out on what to do each day! Permission is granted to distribute to families/students in your classroom. We've also included an editable Weekly Lesson Plan page, for those who may want to only include bits and pieces from our packet, or add in worksheets of their own. Each item in this packet is the very similar to the ones I would have done in the classroom. In fact, I am just using my lesson plans from both TK and K to create it!



You may notice that there are lots of hands-on activities for math included. However, on each of these “worksheets,” (which are more like parent handouts), I have stated on it that it is fine to substitute another type of toy or manipulative, such as Lego bricks, etc.



Many have asked, so I wrote a blog all about my daily virtual schedule! I talk about the schedule I try and keep to most days, along with any other resources I use, where to get them, and how I use a variety of tools to help support my teaching and my students learning as much as possible! Some of the most valuable resources I use daily is our Letter of the Week via Google Slides and Number of the Day via Google Slides.
