Space Theme Number Anchor Charts {Space Theme Number Printables}

Running above my math focus board are the Number Anchor Charts. I uses these as a reference for the students during small group and also during centers.

Space Theme Number Anchor Charts include the following:

The number anchor chart incorporate the numeral, base ten blocks, tally marks, ten frames, number word, counting fingers, addition, and dominoes.

The rocket numbers come in three sizes:

(20) Approximately 8.5” x 11” individual number anchor charts.
(20) Approximately 5.5” x 5.5” individual number anchor charts.
(20) Approximately 4.25” x 5.5” individual number anchor charts.

The above picture is how I use the Number Anchor Charts
as part of my Daily Focus Board.

I use all of the 8.5”x 11” Number Anchor Charts along the top of my math focus board for the students to see during small group. I use the 5.5”x 8.5” size number anchor chart cards as part of my daily focus. I pin the numbers that I am focusing on for that week on the board. I also use them as flashcards. The 4.25”x 5.5” size number anchor chart cards I use in my writing center for the students to use to practice writing and identifying the number.

Rocket Numbers 1 to 32 {Space Theme Number Printables}

I use the 5.5” x 8.5” Rocket Numbers 1 to 32 on the floor in my classroom. This is where the students lineup to leave the room. I reserve number 1 as the line leader’s spot, number 2 as the door holder’s spot, and since I have only 22 students; number 22 is reserved for my caboose. To vary how the students line-up I use the 2.25” x 3.25” size Rocket Numbers. At the beginning of the year, I draw the number from my jar and the student takes the smaller number rocket has to match up the number on the floor using 1:1 correspondence. As the year progresses I will show them the number and they will have to find the matching number. At the end of the year I will call the number out and they will have to find it on the floor without visual support.

Below is a picture of the Number Rockets in use in my Pre-K classroom. Each rock is on of 10 primary colors. Another idea to vary the way the students lineup is to call out a color rocket and have the students find the matching color rocket to stand on.

Rocket Numbers 1 to 32 include the following:

• (32) Approximately 5.5” x 8.5” individual rocket numbers.
• (32) Approximately 4.25” x 5.5” individual rocket numbers.
• (32) Approximately 2.25” x 3.25” individual rocket numbers.

Alphabet Anchor Charts {Letter Printables}

This is the first school year that I have used the Alphabet Anchor Chart cards in my Pre-K classroom. The students like the bright colors and simple graphics. I designed the Alphabet Anchor Charts to use as an alphabet frieze, my Daily Focus Board, and flashcards for my Writing Center. The picture below show the letter cards for Tt, Hh, and Ss. The 5.5" x 8.5" size cards in use on my Daily Focus Board.

Alphabet Anchor Charts include the following:
Each alphabet anchor chart contains the upper and lowercase letters, (3) pictures starting with the letter and the name of the picture under it, and at least (4) additional words beginning with the letter. The only exception is the letter Xx. The letter “X” contains words that have the letter “X” in it. Each alphabet anchor chart is color coordinated to match the chevron border. The alphabet anchor charts come in three sizes:

• (26) 8.5” x 11” individual letter anchor chart.
• (26) Approximately 5.5” x 8.5” individual letter anchor chart.
• (26) Approximately 4.25” x 5.5” individual letter anchor chart.
