PRE-ARRIVAL: This year we read the book Katy Duck Is a Caterpillar to activate our schema about spring.  It is a fiction text…

Hi, I’m Yukari!

I love sharing lessons and activities that have worked well in my Kindergarten classroom to provide you with engaging ideas and to help you cut down your planning time!

Check out my story below to learn more about the why behind A Pinch of Kinder.

my story contact me
Tally Marks Mini Unit is ready✨ Comment TALLY if Tally Marks Mini Unit is ready✨ Comment TALLY if you want the link sent to your DMs!

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…❤️
