Preposition Activities and Worksheets
Teaching prepositions and positional words is really fun when you use games and other engaging activities. Start by gathering up a few essential picture books like Where's Spot and We're Going on a Bear Hunt. Then, introduce prepositions through active lessons that get kids up and moving... modified versions of musical chairs, Simon Says, and Pictionary, for example. From nature walks to worksheets, I've shared our favorite activities in this blog post for kindergarten and first grade teachers.

First Grade Economics Activities
Teaching economics in first grade is actually (and surprisingly) fun. Our district's resources are a little thin on this unit of study, but we've spent time finding books and trying out new activities, and now we're having a ball learning about what makes an economy work. If you're getting ready to teach about needs and wants, good and services, producers and consumers, and all the other money matters, press pause on your planning and check out the fresh ideas in this first grade blog post.
