Sorting pictures by the first sound during Readers Workshop.
Slide starts with S.
Tiger starts with T.
This is a great game to play in the car.  "I see a pumpkin. What letter does pumpkin start with?" 

Shape challenge: Make a square with 12 popsicle sticks. It's tricky! 
Build more than one square.

                                  We are scientists and use our 5 senses to learn about the world.


SHAPES! Kindergarten kids are busy making, naming and finding shapes in our school. 

Ok, this one is for me! Here's my son Jack reading to the class. 
 He was more engaging than I could ever be!

On Fridays all three K classes get together for Morning Meeting. That's 44 Kindergarten friends! This week we were the hosts. Here we are teaching the other classes a fun activity called "Hey There, Neighbor!"
Hey There, Neighbor! What do ya say?
It's going to be a dynamite day!
Grab your hands and circle around around
Reach real high and boogie on down."
This is clearly the "boogie on down" part!


Here I go......

Welcome to my Blog!
I've never seen it, but PBS really does have a show called Betsy's Kindergarten Adventures! I guess I really was meant to be in Kindergarten. Our Kindergarten Team (The K Team) sends home a weekly newsletter and I e-mail families small info. often so I don't plan on using this blog for basic communication. I'd like to use this for sharing pictures and a deeper understanding of what goes on in our classroom. So, check in often and take a peek at our busy kindergarten days!
