First Week of Kindergarten - Math Explorations

To continue practicing how to rotate and behave during center times, along with becoming comfortable with some of the math manipulatives we'll be using this year, we enjoyed Math Explorations on Friday. These were short centers where the children were able to just play with the materials.

First Week of Kindergarten - Learning Centers

We enjoyed Learning Centers this week as we learned how to get into groups, how to rotate from center to center, and the expected behaviors during centers in our classroom. The rules for centers are:
1- Quiet
2 - Share
3 - Clean Up

4 - Keep The Sand In The Table (no getting sand on other people)

Computers
Journals
Legos

Field Trip Photos

Here are a few of the photos I took on our field trip last week. It was a perfect day for a field trip. We enjoyed the movie (along with popcorn, pop, and Sixlets), the park (lunch, playing, ice cream sandwiches, friends), and the library (Charlie the Caterpillar was a great story). Thanks again to all of the parents and grandparents who helped chaperone this amazing trip.

Symmetry Lesson

Miss Ashleigh led a really nice symmetry lesson in centers last week. She talked with the children about how when you fold paper and cut a design with the center on the fold you end up with a full shape. With the cool spring shapes they created, Miss Ashleigh was able to make a really fun and bright bulletin board in our classroom.

Function Machine

We've been working on simple addition and subtraction a lot lately. The function machine is a way to make it a little more fun.

Quackers for Snack

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few days. End of the year testing, data entry, and closing activities have kept me really busy. In the next couple of days, I will post a few of my favorite photos over the last couple of weeks.


I was stretching a bit for Q snacks. We enjoyed quackers (pringles in our mouths like a duck bill). This child spontaneously started quacking and flapping - fun photo!!!
