Stuff the Stocking with Ss Things

Hi friends,

     How are you?  I want to tell you about an activity that I used to do with my kindergarten students about this time of year.  One of the popular traditions of this time of year is hanging a stocking in hopes that it will be filled with treats.


     So, I created an activity where students could draw or write items that started with the letter “S” inside of a drawn stocking.  It is a fun little activity that students enjoyed.

     It was really nice when this lesson came as I was teaching the letter “Ss” or when we were starting to write words based on the sounds we knew.  Everyone enjoyed the “Stuff the Stocking with Ss Things” activity.
 
     First, we reviewed the letter “Ss” as a group and went over the sound that the letter made.  We brainstormed a few words verbally that started with the letter “Ss”. 

     Then, I handed out the “Stuff the Stocking with Ss Things” activity page.  It is a page with a simple stocking drawn on it.
 
     Here is an image of a stocking just for you to use for the activity.  Feel free to download it and use it with your class.  It is my gift to you.

     As a student handed out the stocking activity, I told students to work in pencil first.  After their work was checked, they would be allowed to use crayons or colored pencils to color their picture. 

     I walked around as they worked.  Each worked at his or her own pace and ability.  I asked each student what he or she was drawing or writing.  For the students with the lower abilities, I wrote the word for the object next to his or her drawing or word.  Some students only portrayed the things we brainstormed as a class.  However, for the students who could do more, I encouraged them to do more.  I encouraged them to come up with their own items starting with the letter “Ss”.

     After students were finished drawing and writing, we came together in a circle as a class.  I asked each student to share something he or she drew or wrote that started with the letter “Ss”. 


Now, it is your turn.

     Thank you for being here.  I enjoy hearing your thoughts.  Please, let me know some of the activities you do this time of year or some that you do to teach or assess the letter "Ss".  Did you know that DUO Inspirations creates and sells educational products?  Check them out.  If you don't see what you need or want, feel free to request something.  You can comment below or contact me.
