Let's Share Equally!

We have started to talk about sharing equally. This past week we practiced sharing with Percy Penguin (have your child sing the poem to you). We shared fish, played games and wrote about our math in our math journals. 

Try sharing equally with your child at home. We have used number 1 to 10 thus far. They are beginning to get the hang of odd and even numbers too. They have really picked up this particular concept quickly.

This week we will learn a song about odd and even numbers to go along with our math unit. 

 I have also included some pictures of  our activities. 
We are also learning to work in teams on our new Ipad during center time.....its a big HIT!

Enjoy!

Chillin in K....with Polar Animals!

We have been learning all about Arctic animals in the past few weeks. Last week we learned about polar bears. We reviewed elements of nonficion texts ( vocabulary covered includes: diagrams, lables, glossary, table of contents, photographs, facts, information). We took the information and facts from our nonfiction texts and composed a peice of writing.


Here are a few examples of our writing! (I am still working on figuring our how to turn the photos....direct upload from my phone again....sorry!)

BIG DAY! (drum roll please)

Today was a big day. We are now proud owners of a classroom Ipad. It was like Christmas for me. I cannot tell you how excited I am to be able to have this tool in our classroom. I am going to be doing a lot of research on ways to use them in kindergarten. Our Ipads will be used to administer accurate assessments and give me instructional feedback and strategies to catapult our learning !

I did manage to take some pictures with our new Ipad. I  caught the kids working really hard in learning centers....see you yourself!

These photos are proof of how hard they are working on sounding out words and building words. I'm amazed!!
 

Playing - MELTED SNOWMAN!!!

Building Words!

Look at all the words we can sound out!

Just Chillin' in Kindergarten !

Its been a WHILE!

First of all....I hope everyone had a great holiday season. We have been really busy since we got back to school. It has not been easy getting back to the grind but we are managing. 

Since returning to school, we have talked about the winter season. We have discussed how animals and humans prepare for the changing seasons.This week we are having fun talking about snow and blizzards.

Its been really hard to teach about the seasons when its 60 outside!!! I think the kids think their teacher is crazy at times. 

We have also started working really hard on sounding out words with CVC patterns. Today we talked about vowels (only touched on this in the past). We  practiced sounding out words with silent e ( cake, take, make, bake etc.). I have to say they have already blown me away. I think we were ready for a challenge! 

In math, we have been working really hard on solving word problems. We discussed how we can solve and picture problems in our minds. 

I'll apologize for no rotation- I uploaded from my phone ...sorry!

Working on  word families with friends!

Math Journals

You will see in the picture, we are using illustrations to solve mathematical problems in our math journals.

I have attached a few pictures from our first few days back. 

I promise to do better blogging in the coming weeks!!!
