I am so happy to be back with my Kindergarten students! Spending the last 5 weeks with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders was quite an adventure. They actually aren't much different than 5 year olds, besides size. I now know 90 more smiling faces and have ample volunteers who are willing to be a Buddy for my Kindergarteners. This first week back was a review of my procedures and a jump right into learning. Mrs. Omey did a wonderful job with over 30 kids. It has been a relatively smooth transition.
For Reading we read My Five Senses by Aliki. We spent the week learning about our senses in Science as part of cross-curricular learning.
We added newspaper clippings to our interactive word wall. Students cut out pictures, placed it on the wall and had to explain their thinking. We will be adding tangible objects this week.
Center work involves "Must-Do's" Students complete an assignment that goes with the lesson. Then once their work has been approved they may go to a "free choice" center.
In the slideshow, I added the fun stuff!! I gave the students Halloween activities to get us in the spirit. Also included is the Robinson Trunk or Treat event. My theme was Día de los Muertos, Day of the Dead. Paxton showed off the cool trophy all of us were competing for. My trunk didn't win but it was a ton of fun!!
