Attention all elementary, kindergarten, preschool, daycare providers, Sunday school teachers!
Let's share resources! I have created this section of Alphabet Soup to share ideas and resources--all of us! Please send your original worksheets and ideas to
Alphabet Soup and I will post them here for everyone to use! Just scan your worksheet and send it as an attachment to Alphabet
Soup and I will convert it to a pdf file for you to print out and use in your classroom or daycare. Please put SWAP SHOP in the subject line.
I want to thank Janice West and Kristy Breedlove from North Carolina for giving me the idea for this section! They came up with a great idea!
We all have plenty of resources we have created! And we are always looking for resources to use that will make our lives easier. This is the place for you!! Swap your
resources and ideas with others and receive great resources in return!
Below you will find a developmental unit I have created for preschool and kindergarten students. Bear Activities has plenty of activities to use with your students in
helping to develop verbally, creatively, and visually. Just click on the links to go to the pdf file that is very easy to print out. Each file will open in a new window.
I hope that you will enjoy this new addition to Alphabet Soup! Let me know! And send me some resources!!
