Classroom Resources










I have been working to create a curriculum for preschool and kindergarten students.  I am providing links to each subject area.  The lessons are written in Spanish and English and include key phrases/directions in Espanol for use in the classroom.  The lessons are written to use minimal, inexpensive or recycled materials.  Lessons also relate learning goals to the school's greenhouse and garden.  Many lessons are reusable.  
Hard Copies Coming Soon!



*These are in draft form because I am still in the process of editing!  Please forgive any typos etc. especially in Spanish!















Commonly used materials:
Recycled Items:
Plastic bottle caps, cardboard (boxes, sheets etc), coffee cans,  cereal boxes, egg cartons, plastic bottles, tea boxes, toilet paper rolls, magazines

Purchased or hand made items:
Flash cards, blocks, sorting objects: beans, buttons, plastic figures, glass beads, foam letters/numbers (big and small), cardboard shapes, magnifying glasses, play dough, crayons, markers, paint, puppets, books, glue, tape, glitter, ink, pipe-cleaners, popsicle sticks, paper scraps, construction paper, scissors, pictures (sorted by category), string or yarn, beads, imagination box (dress up box with props), seeds for planting, eye droppers, scoops

Want to make some supplies for your lesson? Here are some ideas:
Use these to teach lessons in Spanish or English.
*Flash cards for colors, body parts, weather, opposites (day/night, hot/cold) .... Make at least two of each word card to allow for matching games.
*Cut out and laminate with clear tape: pictures that can be organized into categories.
Foods, vegetables, fruits, farm animals, jungle animals, animals that walk, animals that swim, animals that fly, insects, people, red things, blue things.... Make a labeled envelop for each group.
*Make or letter/number tiles
