Fun Friday! (On Thursday)

We moved our Fun Friday activity to Thursday this week because we are going to be very busy with our vehicle parade today! We had a mini Thanksgiving party in class. Well, not a whole dinner but the best part...DESSERT! We made mini chocolate pies! My cupcakes had to learn how to follow a recipe for pudding and how to use a measuring cup. We sure had a lot of fun! Thank you to Miss Lydia for donating the pie crusts. :)

Vroom Vroom! Land, Air, or Water?

We have been learning about transportation in reading. As a culminating activity the students were assigned the task of creating a vehicle with their families at home. The vehicles turned out so well! We are having a vehicle parade on Friday with all of kindergarten classes and the students will be presenting information about their vehicles to their fellow kindergarteners.

Fun Friday

Gobble gobble! We practiced our math vocabulary with turkeys today. We have been working on geometry this month, but we did not want to stop practicing our number sense skills. We reviewed "greater" and "less" today with turkey feathers. Check it out!

Coming soon....

My cupcakes are becoming quite the little authors! Kindergarten writing is so fun because I can watch the children develop their skills and see how they begin to use all of their new knowledge. My best friend and fellow kindergarten teacher Miss Cabral (from Watergrass Elementary) and I are going to collaborate this year in writing. Our classrooms will be video chatting and sharing pieces of writing to help celebrate our young authors! Stay tuned for more information and pictures of our collaboration.

Miss Cabral and I have always loved to share teaching ideas and we also enjoy attending professional development events together to get inspired! Our favorite event was the four day International Reading Association conference in Orlando. We were able to see "The Sisters", Dick Allington, and Regie Routman speak. We were definitely super fans and had a lot of fun learning that week!

Happy Halloween!!

Fun Friday!

Today we learned how to graph. We didn't just graph ANYTHING, we had to make it spooky by graphing marshmallow ghosts! First we had to sort the ghosts by color, then we graphed them, and then we got eat them!

Edible Matter!

We have been learning about matter this week! My little scientists discovered that matter comes in three forms; solid, liquid, and gas. We explored different types of matter all week, and as a culminating activity we made EDIBLE MATTER! I would like to thank "Aunt Tiffy" (Mat's Aunt Tiffany) for donating supplies and her time to help us out with our fun experiment. :)

We listened to the "gas" in our Root Beer Floats
