Happy EaRtH DaY!!!

We've been growing our window gardens in the window for over a week now! They are really changing! 

Today we celebrated Earth Day with a book swap! We have been talking about the little things we can do to help our environment :) :) 

Happy Hump Day!

Today we read, Planting a Rainbow, by Lois Ehlert. We started our own window gardens too!
Each day we'll observe our seeds and write/draw our observations! 

Again....we're continuing our practice with long and short vowels. I'll be testing this soon and students are expected to know both the short and long vowel sound. I think they'll do well! Each day we practice and they're doing great!

We let our precious worms go!!! I think the teachers were getting annoyed at having worms in the teacher's lounge. Oh well! That's part of being a K teacher :) :) 

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Today we read, The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. We will soon be planting our window gardens! They are so much fun to observe....just like real scientists! 

Getting ready for the big day....EaRtH DaY! 

We are learning the parts of a flower and made these adorable flowers (which, by the way, gave us a LOT of extra cutting practice)......to take home! 

Happy Friday and Monday :) :)

We are pretending to be Canadian geese...on our way back home on our annual migration. We even hung up bird feeders outside of our classroom! Hopefully we'll get some birds :) 

Reach for the Stars is one of my all time favorite math games!!! It's a great game to practice counting on. 

This week we're starting a unit on plants and germination. Your kids sure do know a lot about plants! 

We are also learning about how readers use inferring to figure out what's really happening in a book. Today we practiced by using our schema and these little cut out squares to infer what might be pictured inside of the folder.

We are also continuing our big study on 3D shapes.....which 3D shapes roll, stack and slide?

Amar'e was finding spheres everywhere today!!!
