Classroom Activities

Sample Activities for Kindergarten:

1. Starfall has been teaching children to read with phonics for well over a decade. Their systematic approach, in conjunction with audiovisual interactivity, is perfect for preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, special education, homeschool, and English language development (ELD, ELL, ESL). Starfall is an educational alternative to other entertainment choices for children. An example of an ELA activity would be to use the icon with ABC blocks to meet the standard of recognizing and naming all upper- and lowercase letters of the alphabet using visual models and pronunciation.

2. Starfall offers also offers math worksheet generators, teacher tools, classroom projectables, and early childhood curriculums for both Pre-K and Kindergarten. These can be used as traditional classroom, preschool, or homeschool resources in any setting. On the app, there is an icon with shapes on it which can be used according to Common Core Standards, which require students to correctly name 2D shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size and to describe 3D objects in the environment using names of shapes using matching.
