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.

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✨

Comment SPRING and I’ll send you the link to the Comment SPRING and I’ll send you the link to the blog post you can grab these freebies from🌼

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✨

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…❤️

Can you believe it’s less then 2 weeks until Mar Can you believe it’s less then 2 weeks until March Break? After receiving many requests to create a similar activity mini book like the popular “Winter Break Challenge”, I created this “Spring Break Challenge” a couple of years ago🌼
.
I love these (and from the reviews so do you!) because…
.
✨ It’s a simple no prep activity to send home that works on crucial Kindergarten literacy and math skills
.
✨ You can edit the parent letter page and the BINGO page (an editable PowerPoint file is included!) to make it just right for your class❤️
.
✨ The BINGO page encourages socio-emotional skills, family time and/or getting outside☀️

Want to grab these for your class?
