2024 Week 25 Read-Across-America!

 Read-Across-America Week is one of my favorite weeks in Kindergarten!



More to come farther down in this post!

The family projects are looking fantastic!



We began by creating these fun Cat in the Hats for the hallway.   We focused on our whole names including middle name(s)!











The skate park is out for one more week as it has been such a hit!

Smartboard fun!

Every year I make "green eggs and ham"
for the k kids. 
What a fun and strangely satisfying treat!




We've made several Lucky Duck books based on Dr. Seuss books this week.









Thank you for sending in your child's Dr.Seuss books.
We created quite an impressive life sized graph!








We had several guest readers this week.
Here is the superintendent, Ms.Carman!
And on Friday Mr.Riebel read to us!



Wednesday's centers were all Dr. Seuss based!
Station 1 was to create a Dr.Seuss like character. 



Station 2 was counting by 2s with Thing 1 and Things 2...
We had a couple of 5th grade boys stop in to lend a hand!


Station 3 was Green Eggs and Ham Sight Words!



At Station 4 Jill assisted with real/silly words...


And Station 5 was Read the Room "Colorful" Green Eggs and Ham style...







Here are a few more of our creatures:









Oh wow! The 4th graders came to read to us on Thursday! We read to them as well! What fun!
