After voting on if they have ever built a snowman, a few of my kiddos told me that they have never built a snowman so I thought we could "build" one inside together. They did a great job with teamwork and taking turns with explaining how to build a snowman during group writing. This was a great use of transitional words! I completely forgot to take a pic of "Frosty" so I'll be sure to do that on Tuesday!
Aaron was the Music Super Star on Monday. Way to go! I wonder if i would ever get to be the star if I we're in Mrs. Pollard's class considering that I can't carry a tune evn though I love to sing.
Tuesday was our crazy weather day! We were in school long enough to take our class pic and go to lunch. In between those two things, I let the kiddos sit in the Flex Space and watch the snow/sleet. I thought it was a perfect time to read my new free book from Scholastic called It's Snowing! We learned what sleet was and what a blizzard was. According to one of my Kinder friends from Mrs. Shelton's class, a blizzard is a lizard stuck in the snow. Gotta love 'em!!!
Since we'll be out on Monday for Martin Luther King Day, we did a few activities this week to learn about him. We even made these cute portraits of MLK. I just LOVE how they turned out! They even had to do a sentence scramble to make the caption say "Dr. King had a very important dream." I was very impressed that most of them got it right without my help!
Mrs. Stevenson had a Watch Dog Dad today. He offered to bring his unicycle and show us this special talent. The kids were totally impressed as was I!
This week we learned about the letters W and L. Check out all of those W words that we found in our Alphafriend song!
Look at what sweet Chloe made me! I love anything Razorbacks and it looks great hang inning up in the classroom! Do you see the chart behind us? We learned more about addition this week. We talked about what it means {joinin, all together, in all}, so you can use these words at home or when you're shopping with them.
On Friday, we built stamina with writing. I set the timer for 5 minutes to see how many words they could write. They were supposed to only write words that they could spell correctly. Although there were some misspelled words, I was still impressed with their hard work! I'm going to do it next week to see how they've improved. You can do this with them at home as well!
The kids love when Mrs. Jenkins comes in on Fridays! They've been reminding me all week that shell be coming on Friday. She talked about MLK and about liking yourself. Then they got to draw a picture of something that they like about themselves.
Aubriana added some great color details to hers!
I love this one! Rachel said that she likes her molars because they are coming in. Ha!
And here's a pic of Zachary showing us how to add marshmallows to our cups of hot chocolate. They all did a pretty good job with our addition story problem! This is also something else you can work on at home by having them count/sort/add different objects.
I hope y'all have a fantastically long weekend!!! And I hope that everyone gets some rest and feels better soon!
