Classroom Letters

Everyone loves getting letters! Am I right?!?!

Kids love getting letters too.

Many moons ago, I bought some letters written by ocean animals.

They were a total hit.

Then I bought some letters for each letter of the alphabet.

This calls for more and more letters!!!!

Each time we have a new unit, the students get a new letter introducing the unit.
Our letters usually come from our mascot.
Sometimes they come from a tour guide like in the zoo pack. 

They start off with a broad overview of theme words that I display in our writing center.

For example in our space unit we have an intro letter:

Then each day we get a letter from a different planet or piece of equipment.

Sometimes, it's just one letter like our weather letter:

Sometimes I give out badges for the kids to wear.

Here's our friendship/love letter

During our rain forest unit,
we start with an overview.  Then each day we get a letter from a different creature or plant.

During our insect unit, we of course start with an overview of all insects.
I add word cards for those, however, I don't add the word cards that will send letters during our study.

For example, say I have eight days for our insect unit.  I pick seven bugs that write letters. They send us that word card for that insect.

I address the envelopes more so for myself lol

This is part of the series of letters.  Here are others available:

The * means this a series of letters.  For example, your students will get a general overview of the theme followed by themed letters in the unit.

Dollar Tree Haul- Valentine's and More

These are so super bright!!

Compatible with LEGO blocks.

 They had one display of spring things out and after watching 

The Purple Alphabet Shop With Me,

I had to pick these up before they were gone.

 I plan to use the clips with a counting game, that calls for clothes pins.

The bunnies and ducks, I thought would be great for some 

felt stories.

Writing Materials and Such

I will probably will use the Narwhal, sloth, unicorn, and lama as pointers.

The mini gel pens and the Frozen pencils for our writing center.

The pencils in the right corner are those scented pencils.

The tube is...are.... mini erasers!!

How adorable are the bacon, waffles and egg sticky notes??

I am thinking some math game?

Like dots, numeral, and word maybe?

Stamps, stickers and finger boards, because 

they are cute and there is a frog lol

Have any ideas for them?

I always miss these at Halloween time, and I think

I missed the big cauldron for St. Patty's stew,

will have to go back ;) 

Read and Write the room :)

Heart cube trays for a math game or letters game.

Sequin pillows and keychains for the calm down area.

Squishy toys for the calm down basket.

These were by the gnome candyland fairy area.

I thought it would be awesome in the blocks area.

Will let you know if it's messy or not.

I have been eyeing the Valentine cups from Starbucks,

but I am fearing the price...

The mason cup is for my 7 year old.

 Here are some other 14 Days of Love gifts,
