Lots to Catch Up on

Well, it’s been a while since this blog has been updated but we have been SUPER busy in kindergarten getting TONS of BRAN WRINKLES!

Apples were our theme unit a few weeks ago.

We estimated how many seeds would be in the center  of the apple, then sliced it open and counted them. 2011-2012 Kindergarten63

We have READERS~ the students are learning sight words and are now reading.2011-2012 Kindergarten64

During our apple unit each student brought in an apple and then we graped each color of apple.

August 28-September 9

This is a school year with lots of changes in the VWSD.  With so many changes, it’s difficult many days to remember to take photos of your darling children to put on the blog.  This is two weeks together- for the simple fact that not too many pictures were taken during this two week period.

R show and tell

rabbits, ribbons, rockets, racecars, remotes, and Reece’s2011-2012 Kindergarten35Cooler temperatures have allowed us to have some instructional time outside.  The students work really hard when we are outside- and always stay fully engaged.

Here we are practicing writing numbers.2011-2012 Kindergarten36

The infamous teddy bear picnic baskets.  This is also the first day that the students use scissors. With lots of direct and explicit instruction, the picnic bags turned out precious!2011-2012 Kindergarten37

2011-2012 Kindergarten38Kindergarten is the perfect place to develop language skills.  Public speaking and talking to a group are important to practice.  The students stood up and introduced their teddy bear to the class and we called it the Teddy bear meet and greet.2011-2012 Kindergarten39

The picnic bags were all ready to go!DSC03278

So were the children and their bears.2011-2012 Kindergarten402011-2012 Kindergarten41

Great fun was had by all!
