Hip Hip Hooray for 100 days!!

     Our 100th day celebration was tons of fun!!  We shared our 100 day projects, finished our book Emily's First 100 days of School ( we also watched it on Learn 360), painted 100 dots, and made a 100 book!!  So busy but so much fun!!  Check out our cool projects and pics!!


First we showed our 100 days project.  Glue 100 things for 100 days!!  Some of my kids got really creative!!

Next, we painted 100 dots!!  I got this from Julie Lee's great 100 days unit at TPT!!

We made 100 day glasses.. I had to get pictures of my little sweeties!!

Oh my!!  Two project pictures I forgot ( glad I figured it out before I posted)!!  

A great big shout of  " Thanks" to all the great parents in my class who helped their children with this project! It's been a 100 days of fun in Kindergarten!!

Kindergarten Has Dreams: A Celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.

     Well, it was a busy Tuesday after 4 days off!!  I just loved the unexpected snow day!  I also loved that more than 1/2 of my students did the snow dance when they got home: flush an ice cube down the toilet, turn in circles chanting " Please let it snow", and wear you pj's to bed inside out!!  I stole that from a former teacher at my school- but it's super cute!  
     Today we had a great lesson and celebration about Martin Luther King, Jr.  We started with the book, Life Lessons of Martin Luther King, Jr, very age appropriate about King's childhood life.  Next, we sang to Jack Hartman's: Celebrate Martin Luther King.  The kids really loved it and it helped them understand the concepts of peace, love, and helping others.  We finished with a Learn 360 video over King.  We did a super cute project that I found on Pinterest (I'm so addicted to Pinterest)!!  If your interested in the unit I have a link to it on my Pinterest board under Teacher Favorites!  This little mini unit was a FREEBIE...which made it even better :)!!

I started by folding yellow construction paper folded like a book.  Then, painted each child's hand- one brown hand and one white hand.  That way it looks like they are coming together then the book is closed.

One the inside they drew a picture of how to make the world more peaceful.  The funny part is that many of them put that picking up trash would make the world more peaceful-  that cracked me up!!  SO SWEET AND INNOCENT!!

This is our hall display!!  The kids actually made two pictures- one for their  books and one for the hall.

This is the poem we glued on the back of our little        

                       books.  

Here's our web chart we did at the end of the lesson.  They came up with some great words to describe Martin Luther King, Jr. 

Better Late Than Never!!

    Wow!!  It's been too long since I've updated this little ole blog!!  Yikes!
     Get ready for a Hodge/Podge of a post.  These pics are from December! Yes, that's right December!  I'm posting some pics of our Gingerbread Activities, School Wide Christmas Program, and of course our little class party!!  December was just so busy for me and then I misplaced my camera...but hopefully I am back to posting!!  Enjoy!!
