Preparing for Our Q and U Wedding

We have begun planning for our Q and U Wedding.  My GREAT room mom has begun asking area businesses for donations and we are getting ready to get our Save The Date announcements out.

     I just finalized my TPT unit on this special unit.  It includes literacy and common core math ideas to go along with this theme.  This is one of my children’s favorite memories!!  They LOVE the wedding.  The BUZZ has already started in our school.  I have had several older students asking when we are having the wedding. 

     This is such a great experience for all of our Kindergarten students.  They all come to the wedding and reception.

Making Snow!!

We made snow with Mrs. Wells.  Mrs. Well is our lead teacher and a good friend of mine.  She really enjoys coming to my room and teaching special/fun lessons with my class every once and a while.  This is the first opportunity she has had to come teach a lesson this year.  We had so much fun!!  We went to our schools new RAD (Research and Discovery) Lab to MAKE SNOW!!! 

We all had such a great time learning using our senses and our science inquiry skills.

    Thank you so much Mrs. Wells!!!

Roll A Sight Word

My students have enjoyed these little activities with our sight words.  I call it “Roll A Pop Corn” word in my class.  I use the Dolch sight words.  I have included the pre primer and primer words.  My classroom friends LOVE playing this  “game” (as they call it)!!!!

        Since the have had so much fun with it I decided to include it on my TPT store.  I hope your friends will enjoy it as much as mine have. 

 

 

 

December Fun!!!

       I can’t believe the holidays are here!!  We had our Holiday Cantata two days ago!!  It was great to see all of our parents and a few grandparents in our classroom!!  Things got so busy in December that I forgot to take many pictures as we learned about evergreen trees, our 5 senses and had a great time learning about reindeer.   

     Here are a few thinking maps that we completed during the month of December.  These are in my Marvelous Thinking Map TPT Unit.

 

 

Thinking Maps

     A few weeks ago my principal ask me make a presentation to our faculty on Thinking Maps.  Our school began to learn about Thinking Maps 4 years ago, and what a wonderful learning tool they have been!! 

     In the beginning I wondered how I would implement these with my kindergarten friends.  It did not take long to find out how this would be such a great addition to my teaching “tool bag”. 

After I held the presentation I was encouraged by a fellow teacher add these ideas to my TPT store.  I hope you can find something in it that will be a new addition to your “Tool Bag”.  These are Thinking Maps that I use all through the year.   It has 36 individual thinking maps and 30 whole group map ideas with directions to make.

Healthy Foods Unit was a Blast!

We next spent a week learning about Healthy Foods and how to incorporate these into our daily lives.  One of our favorite activities was our art activity where we made our basket full of healthy foods.  My friends really enjoyed our science experiments!  We were having so much fun I forgot to take a picture.  L

Learning Filled November

     I can’t believe that November has come and gone.  It seemed to go by so fast.  My students really enjoyed our Long and Ago unit which centered around Thanksgiving!  We brought this unit to a close with our annual Thanksgiving Feast that we completely prepared by my students and myself!!  It was a wonderful time with all of our families!!!!
