First Week of Kindergarten!

Presenting our Kindergarten Class.....

 As you can see, they warmed up very fast!

 We read "The Kissing Hand" on our first day and made handprints...

 They learned to use "Just a dot, not a lot" of glue:)

 Our second day, they practiced cutting and writing their names...

 In Social Studies we talked about communities and families. 

 We made picture frames to put family pictures in...

 Firsties practiced counting to 100 during Math and worked on "place value". 

 Mrs. Leyse loaned us some Wonderbooks she found at the library for our rest time...

 A "Classroom Scavenger Hunt" helped the Kinders become familiar with our room...

 And in Kindergarten Math we worked to make patterns...

 After reading this book...

 We made our own scribbles!

 Lastly, we made pictures for our friends and delivered them to their buckets...

 What good "bucket fillers"! And what a good week!

1st Week of 1st Grade!

Our first day! Such a blessing to teach this 1st Grade class....

 

 

 

 Working on a First Grade book!

 First Grade Health: We learned about how we grow. All of the Firsties were measured and then we made stilts...

 Show and tell this week brought a few animals!

 A real live puppy...

 A little stuffed puppy....

 Even a pig!

 Lastly, for the week, we worked on that tricky letter "b"....not to be confused with "d":)
