Kindergarten Happenings!

 What an amazing week!  We had so many exciting and wonderful things happen last week!  

Monday began with the opening of our new playgrounds!  Boy was that exciting!  The children were beyond excited about playing on them.  We also had a visit from "Rita Rainbow"!  She came to talk to us about the "primary colors" red, blue and yellow.  They are special because they can make all the colors in the rainbow!  The children got to explore with these colors during work boards!  Finally the week ended with a wonderful visit from author Marty Kelley!  He was amazing!! 

 Work boards matching letters & beginning sounds

 Here are some playground pictures!! 

 OSMO!  I opened Osmo as one of our Daily Five stations.  The kids love it and can't wait to have a turn.  They will start with the tangram activity and then move into letters or numbers.  It is a great tool for learning and practicing skills. 

 Listening center during Daily Five! 

 Wikki sticks ~ Look at those sight words! 

 Working in their sight word journals. 

These are also a great tool to practice their reading as well.

 More playground fun! 

 Math time ~ popcorn numbers

Nearby Numbers - picking out a number and trying to place it in the correct place

 It can be pretty tricky but they worked as a team to figure it out. 

 some serious thinking going on 

 Write the room - The students get to walk the room, find the cards and record how many objects are on each card.  It is a great way to keep them moving and also working.  

 Racing Bears game ~ Trying to be the first one to collect ten chips.  

Rolling a dice, reading the number and moving the correct number of spaces. 

GoNoodle ~ Provides wonderful movement activities for the children.  The children love the kidzbob songs and following the dance moves!  It is so cute to watch, I wish I could post a video!  

 Mixing colors - also a great way to work our finger muscles 

 Daniel loved this activity 

 Writing center during choice time. They love creating and coloring! 

 Marty Kelley ~ A very cute and funny book he read to us!

 Very excited about their new book marks from Marty Kelley!  He was amazing & super funny! 

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
