An EASY St. Patrick’s Day or spring themed math An EASY St. Patrick’s Day or spring themed math centre idea🌈
.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I forgot to share this with my other St. Patrick’s Day ideas but I thought better late than never since you could use this one for St. Patrick’s Day OR as a spring themed centre!
.
I simply drew a rainbow with markers on a legal size copy paper and set it out with some colourful manipulative. That’s it! Then I invited the students to sort the items on the rainbow by colour. I wasn’t sure how this would go before I tried it and was surprised to see that the kids LOVED it! I hope your students love it to if you give it a go✨

I only got 1 out of the 3 things I said I wanted to get done this week before March Break.. but something is better than nothing and I’m sticking to that🤪 I did get the spring centres blog post done though and that means a couple of new freebies are ready!
.
First up, since the Arctic small world play idea and the corresponding trace and write cards were such a hit, I made a spring version! They go with the Safari Ltd. “In the Woods” Toob (I got mine from @michaelsstores). The grass mats were from Dollarama (years ago) but a piece of green felt works well too!
.
I also made these patterning cards to go with butterfly beads I had in my spring bin. If you happen to have them too feel free to grab and use the cards I made to use with them🦋
.
Again you can get more details for each activity and download the freebies from my latest blog post! Comment SPRING and I’ll send you a clickable link via DM🌷
.
Hope you enjoy these freebies✨

If you already have the “Kindergarten Math Lessons + Centres: The Year Long Bundle” it’s been added there! Go to the product page and then click on page 8 under “Products in this Bundle” and you should see the unit with a download button beside it😉
.
After many requests a tally marks mini unit is finally here! I hope you enjoy using these lessons and centres with your students🤍
.
Please note: I created the Mario or Luigi one with the editable file but that printable is not included in the file (I was just testing the editable file out + took a picture to show you an example of what you could make!) I cannot sell or share files with licenced or trademarked characters (this is why I put “building blocks” on one of the sheets instead of Lego (because Lego is trademarked)). I talk about this often so I think most people know, but I just wanted to make sure I put in a note about it so you don’t think that sheet is included and are disappointed when you see that it’s not!

I’ve had a few requests to make non themed versions of the surveys in my older spring and summer packs.. then last week an old co-worker and friend messaged me saying her students LOVED the spring surveys and were asking to do more (music to my ears☺️) and asked if I could create some for her. I already had a mini tally unit on my to do list so I bumped it up to this week and I’m sending 5 of these “Ask & Tally” pages to my email list✨
.
There will be a mini unit coming with lesson plans, more “Ask & Tally” options (with an editable version😉) and tally mark centres too! If you have my printable year long bundle it will be added there as a free update😉 More info coming soon…❤️
