Animal Picnic and Shapes

Ok- third time should be a charm!!! If you know me stop laughing- it's true- I'm starting a blog!!!  The world's most computer challenged teacher is starting a class blog.  My goal for this year is to incorporate more technology into my classroom- and so far- so good!!!  I hope this is a great way for parents to get a peek into the room and share some of my ideas!!! So, here we go!!
     We started with a Wild Animal Unit( we have 3 kindergarten's at our school and we do our units together).   The kids brought in their favorite Wild Animal from home and we did lots of activities all week with them.  Science: what animals need to survive.  Math: graphing and sorting.  Reading:  we did lots of books but my class favorite was We're Going On A Bear Hunt.  Our animals magically disappeared at the end of the week and we had to go on a school hunt to find them!!!  The kids loved it!!  At the end of the unit the parents came for a picnic to eat with their child and their Wild Animal!!!  I know all my pics say 2004!!! A funny glitch my camera has ;(
