First 9 Days!

Well the first 9 days has flown by!! Boy life is crazy between my 3 month old, teaching Kindergarten, and going to grad school! My goal was to get up a post up last Friday, but that didn't happen so I will show you what we have been doing in the first 2 weeks! Our first week we had a lot of fun getting to know each other and learning routines. We did lots of fun activities with the book "Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom."

 

We made a big bulletin board in the hallway with the other Kindergarten class.

 We played spin-a-coconut and found the letter coconut that matched the letter we spun.

We also played roll-a-number coconut tree and covered up the number we rolled with our dice!

The second week of school was "Apple Week." We read books about apples, sang songs about apples, graphed with apples, investigated apples, learned the parts of apples....is there anything with apples we didn't do?? On Friday we even got a special treat of homemade applesauce made with our apples we brought to school. (Well the ones that weren't bruised up from being dropped over and over! ;) I had a few extra of my own just in case!)

We read Dr. Seuss' book, "Ten Apples Up on Top" and we made out own version of the book. It turned out so cute!

We have had a great first 9 days! The kiddos are getting better at routines everyday. We started the quick overview of the letters Aa-Ee. Next week we will be continuing with our letter overview and we will start our unit of Community Helpers! Until next week!
