HELP! 🚒 Comment HELP! and I’ll send you my HUGE Co HELP! 🚒 Comment HELP! and I’ll send you my HUGE Community Helpers bundle!

I may have gotten a little carried away with this one. 😂🙌

I wanted Community Helpers to be more than just naming jobs and coloring a worksheet.

I wanted kids to READ it, TALK about it, WRITE about it, SORT it, solve real-life problems, use MAP SKILLS…and make the cutest crafts.

Inside you’ll find:

❤️ When I Grow Up Community Helper Crafts
📖 Community Helpers Flipbook
✏️ Sorting + Recording Activities
📸 Real-photo Community Helper Slideshows
💭 “Who Could Help?” real-life scenarios
🚒 Shape Firefighter Math Craft
🗺️ Community Map + Map Skills Activities
✨ and MORE!

One of my favorite parts is that kids don’t just memorize what each helper does.

They actually have to THINK:

There’s smoke coming from the bakery…who could help? Why? 🚒

It’s hands-on, visual, cross-curricular, and made especially for little learners. ❤️

👇 Comment HELP! and I’ll send you everything!

HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY TEACH LETTERS? 👀🔤 Ask teacher HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY TEACH LETTERS? 👀🔤

Ask teachers what order you should teach the alphabet in and you can start a DEBATE. 😂

Alphabetical order?
Letters in their names first?
High-frequency letters?
Follow your phonics curriculum?

And yes—having an intentional scope + sequence matters.

But here’s something I think we sometimes miss while we’re arguing about the ORDER:

Kids need CONNECTION.

Because knowing that this is B and B says /b/ isn’t the end goal.

We want their brains making connections everywhere.

🐝 B is for bee.
👀 I can recognize B and b.
👂 I can hear /b/ in words.
🔎 I can find B among other letters.
🗣️ I can say words that begin with /b/.
✏️ I can form B and b.
📖 I can see B inside actual reading.
🧩 I can manipulate, match, build and USE it.

Same letter.

Over and over.

Different contexts. Different modalities. Stronger connections.

THAT is exactly why I created this alphabet unit the way I did.

For every letter, you’re not grabbing one worksheet and calling it done.

You’ve got interactive books, hands-on alphabet crafts, interactive worksheets, anchor charts, Play-Doh activities, puzzles, letter crowns, phonics bracelets and more—all reinforcing the same letter knowledge in different ways.

So whether your curriculum tells you to teach M first, A first or S first…

I’ve got you. 😂🙌

All 26 letters. A whole toolbox of ways to teach each one.

And with the TPT SALE starting tomorrow, this is definitely one I’d put in your cart. 👀🛒

🌈 Comment ABC and I’ll send you the complete Alphabet Learning Bundle!
