Learning the Days of the Week

Learning the days of the week doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact there’s a lot of resources out there to help you start to explore learning the days of the week with your kids (whether at home or in the classroom).

 

And whether you teach from Sunday being the first day of the week or Monday, these resources will work!

 

Download any of my displays (that contain the days of the week), and use them to:

  • Sequence the days of the week
  • Play a game of memory (printing off multiple copies)
  • Play a game of fish in small groups
  • Add a paper clip to each of them and go fishing with a magnetic fishing rod and then sequence out the days
  • Read books that include the days of the week in them (The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Diary of a Wombat are amazing!) and then use the days of the week, plus the kids drawings to sequence out the story line
  • Label the day that it is, and talk about varied things like – what’s the weather like, what’s the date of today, what month are we in and so on

Learning the Days of the Week

Learning the days of the week is important as it allows kids to build on their awareness of what happens in a day, as well as learn the routine of what happens on varied days, such as maybe on a Tuesday they go to the park after school.

 

This activity can be easily replicated with the months of the year too!

Storage!!! This is how I store and organise my pho Storage!!! This is how I store and organise my phonics resources. 

These scrapbooking containers from @kmartaus are the PERFECT size for each group’s phonics resources. Bonus.. they stack!!

I also LOVE these A6 wallets from @amazonaustralia for storing the Word Chains. I can pop them on the table and the kids can easily see the colours 😍 I’ve linked them in my stories!
I originally designed the I Spy boards as a blendi I originally designed the I Spy boards as a blending resource (they have lists of words to go with each) but discovered that if you whack a whiteboard with them they become an awesome segmenting resource!!

My kids have been absolutely loving this one.. mostly because they are super competitive and just want to see who can fill their whole board 🤣🙄

You’ve only got a few hours left to grab these at their discounted price 💕 Tap the photo to check them out
So what makes this phonics pack different? 🌻D So what makes this phonics pack different? 

🌻Differentiation - the entire pack is colour coded so you know exactly which level goes with which child and they can all work together but with a resource that targets their needs!
🌻 It caters for ALL your kids (well the vast majority.. I’m working on some higher levels as well!) I couldn’t find anything that kept going past a certain level which meant my kids would be working in different things and I didn’t want that!

The full pack is now available on my website (will be on TPT soon) and has so many different ways you can purchase to suit you! All individual resources are 25% off AND you can grab the Growing Bundle of ALL the resources at the lowest price it will ever be!!
 If you’re not familiar with growing bundles it means you buy now and get the resources included, then when I add more you get those updates for FREE!!

Shop via the link in my stories or by tapping the video and let me know if you have any questions 💕💕
This week… my teaching partner was sick so I end This week… my teaching partner was sick so I ended up working 5 days… was doing fine until I made the very silly decision to try decaf instead of regular coffee 🫠😩🤯 Won’t be doing that again any time soon!!

🌻 Was so lucky to be at school today to finally see one of our butterflies emerge from its chrysalis!! It has been a very long term caring for caterpillars that kept dying 😩
🌻 Contact lenses meant finally wearing sunnies again!!! Although I honestly freaked my kids out not having glasses on 🤣
🌻 Busy, busy, busy hands on learning in the classroom!!
🌻 Busy doing business stuff when I got home 🥴😵‍💫🥱

How was your week?
Phonics Investigations in Year 2 🌻 Activities Phonics Investigations in Year 2 

🌻 Activities are set up for children to choose and move between freely
🌻 Activities are differentiated by colour. The  children know the colour they are working on 
🌻 I usually take small target groups but today I floated and worked one-on-one with some that I wanted to get a few more observations on 
🌻 Activities are currently a mix between blending and segmenting but are mostly segmenting focus
