How To Use School Supplies | Kindergarten Bootcamp | Back To School

This Classroom School Supply Bootcamp Bundle is the ultimate “Back to School” survival guide for early elementary teachers. Designed specifically for Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade, this comprehensive system transforms the potentially chaotic task of teaching how to use school supply routines into an engaging, structured “Bootcamp” experience.

Instead of just telling students how to use school supplies, you will be recruiting them to master their supplies through music, visual sorting, and hands-on challenges!

Included in This Mega-Bundle:

1. Interactive Anchor Charts (The “Rules”):

• 10 Supply Sets: Covers Crayons, Pencils, Scissors, Glue Sticks, Glue Bottles, Markers, Expo Markers, Dot Dabbers, Paint, and Playdough.
• YES/NO Sorting Cards: Engaging visual cards that allow students to help you sort correct behaviors (e.g., “Dab lightly on the paper”) from incorrect ones (e.g., “Smash the dabber”).

2. Supply Mastery Challenges (The “Practice”):

• 20 Levelled Worksheets: Two levels of “Challenges” for each of the 10 supplies to ensure every student can succeed.
  • Level 1: Focuses on basic control and identifying colors/shapes.
  • Level 2: Advances to complex tracing, intricate cutting, and precision gluing.

• Completion Badge: A “Supply Master” hat/badge for students to make and wear once they pass their training.

3. Classroom Supply Songs (The “Routine”):

• 10 Catchy Posters: Lyrics set to familiar tunes (like London Bridge and Twinkle, Twinkle) that reinforce expectations.
• Multi-Sensory Learning: Perfect for transitions or “resetting” expectations before a project begins. Includes both Color and Black & White versions.

4. Interactive School Supply Slides

• PowerPoint Slide Deck- One for each of the 10 school supplies
• Drag & Drop Feature- this interactive, engaging slide show will have your students wanting to participate in the discussion for school supply expectations. Students click and drag the scenario to the correct “yes” or “no” column.

5. BONUS Bootcamp Decor (The “Theme”):

• Recruitment Signs: “You’ve been recruited to Kindergarten Bootcamp!” signs to set the stage.
• Station Headers: High-energy signs to mark your “Challenge Centers” (e.g., Scissor Challenge, Pencil Challenge).

Why You Need This Bundle:

• Save Your Supplies: Proactive instruction means fewer broken crayons, wasted glue, and dried-out markers.
• Classroom Management: Establishes clear, consistent expectations from Week 1 using a fun, positive theme.
• Differentiated for All: Whether a student is a pro with scissors or picking them up for the first time, the two levels of challenges provide the right amount of support.
• Teacher-Tested: Created by Move Mountains in Kindergarten with a focus on low-prep, high-impact instruction.

How to Use:

1. Introduce: Use the Songs and Anchor Charts to teach the supply rules.
2. Challenge: Set up the Bootcamp Stations where students complete Level 1 and Level 2 challenges.
3. Celebrate: Award students their “Supply Master” badges to signify they are ready for a year of creative learning!

Perfect for: Back to School season, Kindergarten “Supply Training,” Special Education, and Preschool readiness.
