Kinderpond Visits Target in May

Oh Target how I have missed you!

I ordered mini erasers on line and I needed to pick them up.

The last time I went there was so so so long ago!

I had to make a return... the card reader didn't like my card lol

like it forgot how to shop lol

I got a card reader error at check-out, but that was all on me,

apparently I forgot how to use my card lol

On the unit's first day, we get a letter and word cards for that theme.

Here are 

Community Helpers

Earth Day  

Insects 

Pets

Rainforest

Leprechauns/ St Patricks Day 

There are over 20 letters.  Some theme letters are a set.

In the zoo set, there are over 20 letters from different areas of the zoo.

In the rainforest, there are over 10 letters.

In the community helpers set, you get an overview letter and letters from over 10 different community helpers.

Insects letters:  there are over 10 letters.

Here is part one.

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:

• School
• Friendship
• Fall 
• Teeth
• Monsters 
• Seuss
• Transportation         
• Leprechaun
• Thanksgiving 
• Vet/Pet
• Nutrition*    
• Rain Forest*
• Gingerbread 
• Community Helpers
• Christmas         
• Spring
• Snow 
• Insects*
• Space 
• Zoo*
• Weather      
• Ocean*
• Dinos

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. 

What am I missing? What themes do you teach that you need a letter for?
