It's time for the April Trade and Grade blog hop! I paired up with my talented daughter,
Sarah of Kinder Cakes, for this fun hop. I'm guessing that we are the only Mother ~ Daughter match up!
This month Sarah sent me her fun
Under the Sea themed Literacy Stations set. This set includes so many great activities nine fun activities ~ all aligned to the CCSS!
As I have mentioned in previous posts, my kids
love Write the Room! Sarah's fun anchor words Write the Room cards were a great addition to our collection! I like the record sheet ~ the kids had to figure out where the words went based upon the shapes.
Seaside Sentences ~ I like to have a set of scrambled sentences available for stations/Daily 5 work areas. I think that having lots of opportunities to build sentences has really helped my kiddos in their own sentence writing. Sarah's set has colorful cards with cute pictures.
Short vowel practice. I like how Sarah has included a coloring element to many of the activities ~ students color the pictures to match the circles on the cards. I have found that this simple addition to the page keeps the kids from rushing through their work.
Long Vowels! I like how there are both long & short vowel activities in this set. The short vowel activity was in last week's word work station & is now available in the Daily 5 word work area. This week the Kinders worked with long vowels during stations. Click

We always need CVC practice!
Beluga Beginning & Ending Sounds. This set has a combination of one and multi-syllable words which is great for differentiation. I used this set in my stations groups ~ I used the single syllable cards with my little strugglers. They wrote the letters on a white board rather than on the record sheet.
Rhyming cards ~ we played a memory game with these cute bubble & fish cards. A worksheet is included.
Crabby Blends ~ This cute activity was in one of this week's literacy station.
This set includes one more activity that I don't have pictures of (sorry!). A fun real & nonsense word sort features sunken ships.
As you can see, Sarah's
Under the Sea themed Literacy Stations set includes enough activities for lots of learning! Get your sample
