TK Distance Learning Packet: SPRING - FOOD GROUPS Theme - Week 7
Here's my Spring Week 7 Distance Learning packet for TK! My packet this week has a FOOD GROUP theme!! In this file, you will find all of the work for one week of school for TK, with some worksheets that will work for Kindergarten, for both Math and Language Arts subjects. We've included a variety of worksheets and activities, so feel free to use any or all of it with your students!
This week focuses on reviewing Letters A-Z, reviewing Numbers 0-20, letter fluency practice for letters M-Z lowercase, Cow Udder Alphabet Writing A-Z, capitals*, Food Matching Sets worksheet 10-20, Number Fluency Chart: 13-17, Shapes fluency practice, Dice Addition activity, "I Like Vegetables!" Easy Reader, Sorting: Dairy vs. Non-Dairy*, Sound Sort E vs. U worksheet*, Sentence Writing practice, Graph: Food Groups
Hands on activities include Food Group Plate activity/craft, Salad craft, Peas in a Pod craft, Mr. Potato Head craft, The Sentence Game for CVC practice, Food Patterns - make your own pattern!, Guided Drawing: Fruits & Veggies.
*Note: This packet contains a few worksheets and activities from our Distance Learning TK/Kinder: Cows & Dairy packet, which was created in Spring 2020 when COVID-19 and distance learning first happened. The pages from this worksheet are indicated by the * in the lists above.
In my experiences, children in TK generally need much more time to learn, and even more developmentally appropriate, hands-on activities than are necessary for most children in Kindergarten. A list of recommended HeidiSongs music videos for the week is also included, and it links to our HeidiSongs internet video site. However, a subscription to our internet video streaming site is not included. You are welcome to eliminate this page as needed.
We've divided everything up by day of the week, (Monday-Friday) so you have the option of sending this entire packet to students, with everything labeled out on what to do each day! Permission is granted to distribute to families/students in your classroom. We've also included an editable Weekly Lesson Plan page, for those who may want to only include bits and pieces from our packet, or add in worksheets of their own. Each item in this packet is the very similar to the ones I would have done in the classroom. In fact, I am just using my lesson plans from both TK and K to create it!
You may notice that there are lots of hands-on activities for math included. However, on each of these “worksheets,” (which are more like parent handouts), I have stated on it that it is fine to substitute another type of toy or manipulative, such as Lego bricks, etc.
Again, many have asked, so I wrote a blog all about my daily virtual schedule! I talk about the schedule I try and keep to most days, along with any other resources I use, where to get them, and how I use a variety of tools to help support my teaching and my students learning as much as possible! Some of the most valuable resources I use daily is our Letter of the Week via Google Slides and Number of the Day via Google Slides.

Even though we call them Distance Learning packets, if you're transitioning back into in-person teaching, or have a hybrid method going, these packets will be helpful and useful for you! :)
