Fall WEEK 12 - TK/Kinder Distance Learning Packet! (NO PREP PRINTABLES!)

Here it is!!!! The lesson plans for my FINAL WEEK OF THE FALL TRIMESTER!!! Week 12 Distance Learning packet for TK or Kindergarten! Just like the previous weeks, 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 J number 10, and the sight word "you". There are four worksheets/activities for the letter I, along with fluency practice for letters A-J. We've also included a fun counting creatures worksheet for the number 10, a more or less sorting activity, a hidden numbers worksheet, a turkey color by number page, and a Rhyme or Not Game.



Hands on activities include making the Pattern Block Turkey art project, where students use pattern blocks to make a fun pattern body for the turkey. There is also an owl art project where students tear strips of paper to make the feathers for an owl. Directions for how to make both of these 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.



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.



When I teach remotely, I print out the packets and send them to families, divided by day of the week. We start with our Morning Meeting, and then I give directions for each activity (all via Zoom or Google Meets,) sing with the children using the music videos referenced, and have the children do the activities right there while I “watch” online and wait for questions. Children that finish early can “go play” or read a book at home until we are ready to proceed with the next activity. However, this packet would also work for families to just use them without video guidance from the teacher. It should work either way. :)
