Pointillism and Some Centers

Hi parents!  The school year is coming to a close, but we are still working hard!  There will be a few more posts before the end of the year, so keep checking back :)

Center from two weeks ago (sorting "e family" words)

Arranging letter tiles found in Easter eggs to make color and number words.

Filling in ten frames and deciding if numbers are greater or less than, out of sequence.

Reviewing coin values with our shake ball!

Addition center.

More number words in the pocket chart.

Reviewing tallies with Tally Monsters.

Putting sight words and CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words in order to make sentences.


In art, we were inspired by Georges Seurat to create pointillism paintings.

Thanks to all the moms for coming to the Tea Friday!  I had so much fun and I hope you did too!

Busy, busy, busy!

I'm super sad that I didn't have a chance to take any pictures of our last set of centers, they were some of our toughest yet!  We were matching ending sounds of CVC words and writing the words, sounding out and writing four and five letter words with blends (flip, drink...), sorting CVC words by vowel sound and writing the words, and working on number sequence up to 20.

Check out what's been going on lately!!

We've been studying plants, this is our mini class garden!

This was an Easter writing project we did.  The kiddos are becoming great writers!

Daily News is a new part of our morning routine.  Our "teacher's helper" completes it every morning and then we discuss it during our morning meeting!

Some days we work on the Daily News together!!

This can be part of Daily News.  On days we do Fix It Up together, each child completes a Fix It Up sheet.

Have you heard about Ethan, Super E, yet?  If not, check our the Super E story I sent home tonight!!  We will be working hard to read and write CVC-E words from now until the end of the year!


Look for photos later this week from our current set of centers :)

St. Patricks Day and Spring (ish) centers

I'm going to be working hard to catch up on the blog.  I'm making this post today and will be making another one tomorrow or Saturday.

Check out some of our centers from the end of March!

Sorting words in short i families.

Matching pictures with their blends.

Listening center.

What number comes next?  (17....18!)

"Captain of the Ship", pirate sight word game.

Working on handwriting and sentence order and structure.


Hope you have a happy Friday!

It's been too long!

Hi parents!  I'm sorry I've been absent for so long!  I COULD NOT get my phone to upload photos for the longest time and then yesterday, it worked!  Not sure what happened, but I'm glad it did.  Here are a few photos from our Dr. Seuss week.

Sequencing "The Cat in the Hat"

Our own imaginary animal creations, inspired by, "If I Ran the Zoo"

Seuss week center, counting, 10 frames, and tallies. 

Working on a "Write the Room" with sight words.

Racing through the maze and reading CVC words.

Making CVC words and sorting them as real or nonsense.

Identifying and graphing blends.

Skip counting in the pocket chart.


I will post pictures of some of our plant work, our previous set of centers, and our new morning news routine VERY soon!  Have a great week!

Abraham Lincoln

We did a lot of learning about Abraham Lincoln last week!  We had fun making these Lincoln glyphs and writing about him :)

Look for ALL of the pictures from Dr. Seuss week this weekend!!

It's been awhile...

I have to start by apologizing for the time lapse since my last post.  The snow storm really threw me off and I have been CRAZY busy getting all of our Dr. Seuss activities ready for next week!  I have a few pictures of our Presidential work from last week as well as our most recent set of center for you :)

We learned that being President is a BIG job!

We all had thoughts on what the President does at work.

Lots of original ideas!

We had great ideas about what we would do if we were President.

Too sweet!

Seeing who can collect all their  snowman parts first reading sight words.

Sorting those tricky blends at the word work  center.

Recording our observations of Gobstoppers in water.

Listening to a story and looking for words we can read.

Using our leveled readers to read with a group and then responding to the story.

Matching pennies to make groups of ten.

Completing sentences with number words.

The ever popular trace, write, stamp with our new see through stamps from Lakeshore Learning!



I am SO excited for all the "Seussy" fun we are going to have next week, check back here for pictures!  Have a great rest of the week!
