We made the outdoors our classroom as we wrapped up our module on trees. We started this at the very beginning of the school year and have observed trees throughout all of the seasons!

We have started a learning structure called Daily Five. I have a great informative letter to explain what that is, but for now, this image speaks a thousand words! I love seeing the progress of readers over the course of the Kindergarten year. Right now we're working really hard on building stamina. So far we've added a whole minute! We started at 30 seconds and are now up to a minute and a half! These seems like a small amount of time, but this is the foundation where we start and by the end of the year, Kindergartners can Read to Self for around 15 minutes!
Halloween Centers were so much fun! Thanks to everyone who donated supplies and/or volunteered. It wouldn't have worked without you! Kindergarten Spotlight is where I share the pictures of the fun projects and activities we do at school!
We had a great day "traveling" to the most famous landmarks and sights of our great country. And we looked pretty snazzy in our Red, White, and Blue! My little Mollie Jean made a guest appearance to sing her two favorite songs: The National Anthem and Grand Ol' Flag. She's a proud patriot!
This is the page from our mini book that we used for our pattern inspiration. We planned out our block, talking about the way we'd compose the shape with smaller pieces and different shapes. The kids watched me measuring fabric and cutting with my rotary blade. Here's our "Lincoln Lions" (red and black are our colors) "Churn Dash" quilt block. I wasn't able to catch pictures "during", but this is the end result. :) It sure was fun using my hobby to teach a math standard to my favorite 5- and 6-year olds!
Abi worked very hard researching, gathering facts, writing, and creating a powerpoint presentation on one of her favorite animals: horses! |
