Thanksgiving - Better late than never!!!

     Well, it's the first week of December and I'm finally getting around to posting a few pics! The month was just so busy that it was hard for me to get it all in!! I've included some of our writing projects: Veteran's Day, Zebras, Thanksgiving!! We had a great Thanksgiving unit but I didn't get many pics :( !! The last slide is from our Thanksgiving Play- which was too cute!!! Hope your family had a great holiday! 

Pumpkin, pumpkin...

     We had a great pumpkin unit last week! We did so many great lessons and activites but unfortunately I didn't take hardly any pics!! I guess I was too busy teaching and anticipating Fall Break! 

We measured pumpkins, counted pumpkins, estimated with pumpkins, and started adding with our 10 frames!! We studied the life cycle of a pumpkin, did a close read with pumpkin poetry, and compared fiction and non- fiction pumpkin texts!! We also learned some fun new pumpkin songs, made super cute pumpkin shirts ( thsnks so much Aletha Thomas), and ended the week with a field trip to the pumpkin patch!! Not to mention made a super yummy pumpkin snack: Pumpkin Fluff!! Wow!! It makes me tired just writing about it!! Lol!! Hope your family had a great Fall Break!!

BATTY ABOUT BATS

It has been a BATTY week in K!!! Our bats unit was so fun and the kids learned so much!! Our unit had great fiction and non- fiction reads, we really focused on the "at" word family, introduced non-standard measurement, did a writing project, and even had a project due!!! WOW!! Not to mention Parent/Teacher Conferences!!

An Apple A Day

     An apple a day makes for a busy week in kindergarten!! We had a super fun week with a great Johnny Appleseed Unit!! It included counting, color words, measuring apples, writing and of course Johnny Appleseed!! We also made homemade applesauce on Friday but I had ZERO time to take pics of that fun activity- too many cooks in the classroom for any pics ;) .  

Roll and count out the "apples".

This was our "How Many Apples Up On Top."  They turned out do cute!! They cut their picture out and glued it on top and wrote the numbers on the apples!! They loved it!!!

Our Johnny Appleseed sticker pages! Kids always love these!!!

Button Box Sorting

     It seems like every week is busy in Kindergarten!! Last week we did some great sorting lessons!! My favorite was a button sort that the kids loved we did this with the book The Button Box!! We also made some pretty cool lizards for the letter L!! 

Great sorting and the a pic of the book we read!!

So sad that unit is over and we started our "real schedule" today!! Here are some fun pics from our unit and hopefully I will get the Teddy Bear Picnic photos posted soon!! I have the best intentions but I'm one tired teacher ;)!!
