What educators are saying
My students loved learning about their own names and classmates names on the first day of school. Great resource.
I always love your resources! You create fun activists that hit so many standards while being engaging! Great way to start the year.
Description
The first week of school we work on name activities in our first grade classroom. We learn about vowels, consonants all while looking closely at our names. This mini unit is a perfect way to spend a week learning these basic skills before diving into a phonic and word work curriculum. It is also a fun way to get to know our classmates names and work on some fun math skills too.
See what's included in this fun mini name unit:
- My Name vowels and consonants worksheet
- My Name letter in my name/letters not in my name
- Meet my Friends mini book (copy two per page and staple). Interview and record your friend's name looking at the vowels and consonants
- Graphing Activity paper/pencil analyze the data and record data
- Graphing Activity paper/pencil graph the data
- Colorful poster "How many letters are in your name?"
- Colorful #'s 2-10+
- Editable pencils in PowerPoint (create a text box and type your students names) Use this for the class graphing activity
- Suggested word work ideas using names
- Editable name tags in 6 different colors (create a text box and type your students names) to place in centers
- Vowel posters. I 8 1/2 by 11 for each vowel (a, e, I, o, & u) and letters to cut out to spell vowels.
- 3 songs (copy 2 per page) vowels, short vowels, & long vowels
I hope your students will enjoy this week as much as mine do.
Some fun ways to connect....
