August Kindergarten calendar morning meeting Digital Google Slides Phonics

Kindergarten calendar time and morning meetings have never been easier! I have done all the planning and prep work for you so it is easy to incorporate this interactive, digital calendar into your daily routine. We love starting our day adding the date to our August calendar, counting how many days we have been in school, recording the daily weather, discussing a morning meeting prompt, singing songs and reviewing our math and reading standards.

Students are engaged and look forward to our morning routine. The daily jokes are always a hit!

Teachers love having everything in one spot to teach the important kindergarten standards.

This resource makes it so easy to use in the classroom, to teach online, to use for distance learning and even if you homeschool.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This is absolutely amazing and I am so excited to use this with my class this year!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My kids love using these slides. We love the songs. I can't wait to buy September's calendar."

--- WHAT IS INCLUDED? ---

The calendar and morning meeting activities are compatible with Google Slides™ and PowerPoint™.

AUGUST CALENDAR

This calendar comes with moveable numbers, holidays and birthday calendar pieces. It can be used year after year!

CALENDAR BASICS with SONGS

All of these slides have a playable song students can sing along with: how to spell the month August, all the months of the year, days of the weeks, today is _____, yesterday was _____, tomorrow will be _____, daily weather, counting by fives and tens, and how do you feel today?

DAYS IN SCHOOL

Two slides teach how many days we have been at school. One uses drag and drop tens/ones blocks, 1 more/1 less, even/odd and one slides uses draggable ten frames.

WEATHER

One slide has a draggable piece to circle the weather and type what the weather is like each day. The other weather slide has draggable pieces to make a monthly weather bar graph.

LITERACY

• Editable sight word slide
• Letter of the day
• CVC words - segment, blend and spell
• Rhyming

MATH

• Students make and/or finish August themed patterns
• Shapes - sing along with five songs that teach about triangles, squares, hexagon, rectangles and circles
• Skip counting by fives and skip counting by tens (both slides have a playable song to sing along with)
• Numbers and counting with teddy bears
• More or less - draw the bugs to each bush and type the number into the editable boxes
• One more/One less - sing along with the embedded song and make the bus move up and down the number line

LUNCH COUNT

Count how many students are having hot or cold lunch each day.

BIRTHDAYS

Write student names and their birthdays for the month on this one slide. This makes it so easy to keep track of all the birthdays each month.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY?

This slide has an adorable song to sing each day, and students can then share how they are feeling. This is a great check in each day and helps students put an emotion word to how they are feeling. You can write the number of students in each number box, and practice putting their names and emotions into the editable sentences (optional). For example: Hudson is feeling tired today.

MORNING MEETING

20 prompts are included (one for each school day in a month.)

I use real life pictures and questions each day.

The five themes are:

1. Tell me a story...
2. True or false?
3. Hypothetical question
4. What would you do
5. Thoughtful friend

Each day, show students one slide and have them think, pair share.

This will lead to great morning meeting discussions.

Editable slides are also included if you wish to add your own prompts and photos.

JOKES

Twenty adorable joke slides are included this month. Start each morning laughing with your students! Read the August themed joke to students and have them think/pair/share to what the answer could be. Move the button to reveal the answer and listen to all the giggles!

IMPORTANT NOTES

This file can be opened and used in PowerPoint™. It can be used to teach in the classroom using your front interactive whiteboard or smart board. It can also be used to teach online or even homeschool.

There is also a file included that is compatible with Google Slides™.

You'll love how easy this file is to use.

Finally... everything you need is in one place!
