Getting wordsy!

Hi parents!

I hope everyone made it home safely today! We've been working really hard to hear up for first grade! I tried switching up our morning work last week from handwriting to sight word work. The kiddos were given a word (or two) to use in a sentence and then illustrated their sentences! (Teachers- this great idea came from Chalk Talk!)

We also made these fun snowmen with our names and did a graphing project! (Teachers, this fun idea came from Growing Kinders)

Finally, I can't wait for you to see the ADORABLE Abraham Lincoln project they have been working on, coming home tomorrow!

Looking forward to our Seuss Week next week!

New centers and some winter fun!!


Hi Parents!!

We started new Valentines Day centers last week! We're working really hard to cooperate as a group and work together. Here are a few pictures:

Unscrambling and writing sentences.
Sorting pictures by medial sound.

CVC word board game.
Reading color words.
Roll the dice, stamp above the matching blend.
Reading and writing sight words.



Some other things that went on last week:

We finished our Reader's Workshop Unit, "Discovering Patterns" (Kim Adsit)!!!!  We celebrated all our hard work on Friday by making these super cute pattern detectives!
Fridays have become "Fun Fridays" in Kindergarten!  We made these snowman glyphs on Friday (for you teachers, this idea came from Growing Kinders).  The kids had fun expressing themselves through their snowmen :)

The PTL Silent Auction is next Saturday evening!!  Our class made this super cool mirror that will be up for bidding!  Come and enjoy this fun time!!



I hope you had a GREAT 3 day weekend!!  :)  Mrs. Rogers

100 Day!

Hi parents!

We had a great time on 100 day! Some of the sheets the kids did about being 100 years old were priceless!

We did the ever popular 100 fruit loops necklace again this year, so fun!

Here are a few pictures of the process:
