Me and My Five Senses - Week Three

This week we learned all about our five senses!  Each day we focused on one sense  by completing an activity in our Five Senses journals.  Monday we observed a sponge with our eyes and a magnifying glass.  We noticed lots of tiny holes inside!  Tuesday we used our fingers to feel objects in our bags and then glued them down in our journals.  Wednesday we used our ears to listen to loud and soft sounds.  Thursday we used our noses to smell six different scents and then we circled whether or not they smelled good or bad...#3 was really bad (vinegar)!  Friday we got to taste different foods to see which were salty, sweet, or sour!  We also got to use all of our sense together to eat popcorn!  It was a very busy week!

Sincerely,

Me and My Feelings - Week Two

This was our first full week in school!  We talked about our feelings and how we are in control of our emotions.  We read the book, A Bad Case of Stripes, by David Shannon.  We learned that it is okay to be unique.  During our math time, we explored some of our manipulative shapes  to see what we could create!  Finally, to reinforce our classroom rules and our knowledge of 2-D shapes, we created shape monsters and chose a rule for each to follow.

Our First Week in Kindergarten!

Hurrah!  We completed our first week of Kindergarten!  The kids did a super job adjusting to their new classroom  and school.  I am excited to begin the journey of learning with your little one.  Kindergarten is a loving, caring, busy, noisy, engaging, hands-on, and sometimes messy experience but I wouldn't want to teach any other grade!!!

Our first few days were spent getting to know each other and the classroom and school rules and routines.  We will continue to work on these until they become second nature.  We will talk more about these at Open House, Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2013.  I hope you can join us in the classroom at 6:30pm.  

I have pictures to post but I am waiting on a few more permission to photograph forms to be returned before I can post them online.  

Until then, I hope you all have a quiet evening!

Sincerely,
