Boosterthon Fun Run

The Boosterthon Fun Run is underway and we are already having so much fun! Yesterday we had a pep rally at school to get the kids excited about the run. Lets start collecting those pledges! :)

Thank you Mrs. McDevitt!

Mrs. McDevitt came in and carved a pumpkin with us, we had lots of fun and even got to try pumpkin seeds!

Thank you again Mrs. McDevitt!

How Many Pumpkins Tall Are You?

We have been learning all about pumpkins and have been doing lots of fun activities! In Math last Thursday we talked about estimating. each child had to guess how many pumpkins tall they were and then we graphed it. After we were done, we measured each child to see how accurate their guess was!

Mr. Thomas Teaches Kindergarten

So sorry I am behind on posting on the blog, we have been VERY busy! I am sure you have heard all about it from your child, but we had a guest teacher a few Fridays ago! Mr. Thomas and his assistant Mrs. McLaughlin came and taught our class, while Mrs. Lanier and I went and taught his class in 4th grade. We sure did miss our kindergarteners by the time we got back. Here are some pictures of their morning with Mr. Thomas!

Reader's Workshop

We have learned all our procedures and routines for Reader's Workshop and are really enjoying private reading time and partner reading time!

The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Affraid of Anything

We love to act out books in the classroom and are really great at retelling! Here are some pictures of our class acting out The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Affraid of Anything. Have your child act it out for you!

Teacher of the Year!

Thank you so much to all of you who have supported me in winning teacher of the year! Your cards and the ice cream party Mrs. Lanier put together were so thoughtful! Here are a few pictures from the special day!

Three Billy Goats Gruff

We visited Mrs. Shikany last week and learned about the Three Billy Goats Gruff! We went back for a second visit with her and were able to act it out using puppets. It was so fun!

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

Every week we focus on a heart book! A heart book is a book that we learn by heart and can retell. Here are some pictures of our class acting out Brown Bear, Brown Bear.

Rainbow Hair

Our poem of the week last week was "Rainbow Hair." To go along with the poem, we used rainbow spelling to practice our names!

Second week is off to a great start!

We had a great day today, the students are starting to learn the routines and rules and we started implementing our behavior plan. Check out the pictures below of some of the things we did today!

We learned how to write in our journals. These journals are made monthly, and the students will use these journals to write first thing in the morning. At the end of each month you will get your child's monthly journal home to see how much they have grown throughout that month!

We talked about lining up quietly and walking through the hallways, we know how to keep that "bubble" in our mouth!

We had a great time at recess!

We also learned the proper ways to use snap cubes and worked on making AB patterns
