I am so excited to be teaming up with
Kim Adsit for this giveaway! Kim has been amazing to let me preview her new items up for sale on
Teachers Pay Teachers. I was lucky enough to go to many of Kim's sessions at the I Teach K conference in Las Vegas this summer. She has great tips and ideas that can be incorporated right away in your classrooms.
So, I bet you're wondering.....what is the prize?
2 lucky winners will receive a copy of Kim's resource pack for
(Sorry the CD is not included in this give away!)
The activities include:
*How Many Beats? (name syllable book)
*Clap and Count Kids
*How Many Syllables in Your Name? (Class and individual graphs)
*Your name, my Name Syllable Sort
*Sorting Friends
Combining music and literacy activities is a great way to get young learners involved in class activities.
Through music, children learn to:
· Understand language (we must comprehend language in order to become “true” readers)
· Experiment with rhythm, words, tempo, and melody (which are important skills in reading aloud)
· Think creatively and holistically
· Make the connection between print and spoken words
· Practice motor development and motor coordination while experimenting with various instruments and dancing
· LISTEN (we sometimes forget that listening is an important literacy skill)
So, how do I win this awesome prize?
You must do 3 things:
1. Follow me on this blog.
2. Go to Kim's Teacher's Pay Teacher's page by clicking here and browse through all of her activities. 3. Post a comment about what your favorite resource is. Be sure to leave your e-mail address.
You must do all three things to be eligible to win the prize!
Contest deadline will be Sunday, September 26, and I will announce the winner on September 27.
Good luck and happy browsing!
