Been AWAY, but now I'm Back

I am back! There has been a lot of creative things happening in the K classroom that I am excited to share with you.

But First....FLASH FREEBIE on my Teacher's Notebook Store!!!!!!!!!

PANDA VOWEL BOOK

Let's get started :)

The past two weeks my little pandas have become Paleontologists...We have learned so much through digging for bones, creating our on excavation site, discussing dinosaurs, and TODAY excavating chocolate chip cookies.

Take a delicious look...yum yum
Big Kudos to Mrs. VanMeter from TPT for the Freebie 

Excavating the chocolate chips out...

 "I got 24!!!"

 Mrs. Johnson, I counted 17!!!

So, let's take it back to Dr. Seuss Day !!!

Let's make some Dr. Seuss Hats, while we watch "The Cat in the Hat"!!!

 They were all silent :)

 Supplies we used for our edible "hats"

Let's back up some more to our 100 days of school...

Fun day for the kiddos

They had the option to create their own shirts with 100 things on them.

Yummy gummy bears...

Then some FUN!! math time.

100 Hershey kisses for our game ---> "Our Kisses"

So we played the game by making a 100 chart and writing numbers 0-100 on the bottom of 101 Hershey kisses...the students then had to place the correct number on the bottom of the kisses to that on the board.

SO MUCH FUN!

My PANDA Vowel Book

This fun, interactive, literacy booklet allows your students to go into a deeper understanding of their vowels.

Your students would be able to review the vowels learned, as well as, think of words that begin with that vowel and illustrate their vowel word.

Find this fun activity on my TPT page !

 

It's been awhile! But Pre-k is NOW K :)

It's been awhile! So much to do and so little time to BLOG, but I am here :)

Valentine's Day 2015

Was a....SUCCESS!!! So much fun making valentine's boxes out of cereal boxes! The enjoyment is always the smiles I see on my student's faces.

A special gift to our parents from them were their "I LOVE YOU BECAUSE...." photos.

Here's one photo for you!

I tried to draw a few hearts with a silver sharpie, but whoops....doesn't show! LOL

Summer Vacation

So, I have been on summer break since June 13 !

I have been spending my time with my one year old son *YAY* and PINNING :)
(Go check out my pinterest board "Teaching & Creating")

I have so many great ideas I want to implement for the upcoming school year with math centers and literacy centers. BUT, my biggest interest is how I want to set up my classroom.

I roamed and roamed the web for Chevron inspired classroom decor and guess what I found.....

SCHOOLgirl Style 

This site has a lot of great decor for classroom set up and I fell in love!

Chevron Chic it is 

Emergent Readers

My little Pandas have grown so much over the past school year...I couldn't be more happy :)

Their recognition for sight words have gone up, their invented spelling has improved, they are just so ready for Kindergarten!

Just for them, I created a "Our Panda Bear Friends" emergent reader! I hope you guys enjoy as much as they will.

"Career Day in Pre-K"

What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you like to do? What inspires you?...All the questions I asked my lovely PreKinders before we talked about what a career is.

We have 6 PreK classes at my school and each one of us transformed our classes into a career. We had the Pet Shop, the Post Office, Kinder Music, Outside time, Construction Site, and a Pizza Restaurant. The office was even transformed into a bank !!!

Guess what? The Panda Bears transformed our classroom into a "Hospital in the Rainforest" :) (Rainforest was from a previous unit)

Our Optometrist 

The PANDAmania Gift Shop

Our Hand X-rays and Child Skeleton

 

Monkey ABC Letter Sequencing

 

 

Vocabulary Words

 

 

 

Little Pediatricians

 

Surgery Room

 

 

Pharmacy

 

 

(Included in this adventurous day was a cafeteria, waiting room, and display of our project of the week: Create your own Ambulance)

 *Kudos to us*
