September Week 3

Time to get into the bee hives!  

I LOVE keeping bees!  

My hubby rarely wears a bee suit and never gets stung.  I do wear a bee suit and usually get stung anyway but not this year...lucky me!

  

 This week in K we really began routines in earnest!  

These kids are rocking this unusual year.

I am very lucky to be their teacher! AMAZING!

I gave the kiddos a tub of playdo for their bins at their tables.  We use playdo to create letters, numbers, one-to-one correspondence (make 5 balls for example), and just for fun! 

Look at all these Hh letters!

The k kids sorted the transformer bots into ABC order...just because!

We've had a lot of fun with Pete the Cat this week!  

Aren't these the sweetest?

We voted for our favorite Pete The Cat book and reread the winner! 

We have a new discovery table...apples!  

The kiddos made a apple store with some of the items.

Letter Ff day we had another experiment with a FIZZing chemical reaction!

This is how I relax!

How about you?

What do you do to ground yourself?

I'd love to hear from you...

At this time I will include a few projects weekly for your viewing enjoyment!

The extra exciting experiment on Ee day was making ELEPHANT TOOTHPASTE!

We sorted M&Ms into color groups and counted and compared the numbers before eating!

Yummy!  What a fun Math lesson!

Of course with the beginning of the year we've done a lot of talk about 

RULES and GUIDELINES!

Bathroom use is a biggie!
 

We basically have just 3 rules in kindergarten:

1. Be Nice 

2. Be Ready

3. Be Safe

Everything else falls into these categories!  For real! Think of a rule.  It fits doesn't it!

Hope you enjoy the button project we made at choice time for you!

Our little Corduroy Bears are sooooo cute!

Everyday this week we ate a treat that began with the letter of the day...

Our favorite was BBBB Bus!  We created and made a bus out of graham crackers, Oreos, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch!  Delicous!

These cutie patooties were from our first week! 

 Chester the Racoon was our character we read about!

We also created these name mosaics!

And to make my teacher heart happy, a community member dropped this off for me!

How sweet!
