Gingerbread Folks Invade A-1!

We're starting our Gingerbread Folks Unit this week!  We'll be doing Gingerbread stories, Gingerbread mini-books and Gingerbread Centers!  Our Gingerbread Unit contains word work, rhyming activities, work with syllables and other phonemic awareness activities as well as stories and center activities.

Today in A-1 we created an anchor chart to tell about -at chunk and the -at word family.
From there we moved into Center activities to practice the word work and trace and write the -at chunk words. 

Here's a glimpse of my Center Activities for this week!  Enjoy!
