It was election week at Roberts

Although it was a short week with the kids, we did a lot!! In social studies, we learned about voting. It was perfect since it was election week. The K teachers and the other Mrs. Geurin (literacy coach) decorated the flex space. We read Duck for President, Grace for President, and My Teacher for President on Monday. The kids got to vote who they wanted for president on Tuesday. We had everything- a ballot, voting booth, ballot box, and even the "I voted" stickers. The kids had sooo much fun doing this and teachers, too. Mrs. Geurin helped count all the ballots and announced the winner on the intercom at the end of the day. The winner was....drumroll please...Grace for President. Woooo!

Aneiceya also got star student of the week in PE! Way too go friends!!! Keep it up!

We like to rock and roll

This week we learned...

about the letter sounds Gg and Rr. The kids are learning these so quick and starting to read!! Here are two different lists we made of words that began with these two sounds.






We also worked on solving word problems in math. Here are Ryan and Isabella solving their problem. Go girls!!!





So..at Roberts we like to count with our hundreds chart to know how many days we have been I school. Well this Wednesday, Oct. 31st was Halloween and we had a sock hop in our flex space! The kids and teachers dressed in 50s attire. Everyone looked awesome!!! The kids got to decorate a cookie and drink a coke float at their 1st station. Then my kids got to hula hoop and dance at their second station. Thanks again parents for volunteering to help and sending items. Look at all the fun we had.










































Sweet Haven was sick all week and missed out at the sock hop. But she dressed in her best to share a pic with me. Feel better!!

Enjoy your weekend! Remember parents next week is a short week. No school Thursday or Friday due to Professional Development.

Short week, yet very busyyy

It was a short week with the kids but felt very long. We did a lot and never stopped going!

The kids were out of school on Monday due to parent teacher conferences. I really enjoyed meeting with all of my students' parents. They are all so wonderful! I couldn't have asked for such a good group of parents this year. Thanks for all your dedication and willingness to take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to meet with me.

A few weeks ago, Greg Dee came to Roberts and did a weather lesson with our kinders. Afterwards, he filmed all the classes saying "Good morning, Greg. What's the weather like today?" They were televised this week on Ch4 in the morning at 6:14 and 6:44!!

Here is a picture of what they looked like on the tv screen.




When the kids go to pull outs each week, the students get an opportunity to try their best to earn student of the week. Marley and William got it this week in PE! Woohoo! Go y'all!!!




It was also red ribbon week. Each day the kids were encouraged to wear something different representing their support to no drugs and bullying. They wore a ribbon in addition that said: "I believe in me. I'm drug free." My favorite day was Wednesday when we dressed in boots and western wear. It's saying was "I give drugs the boot." Check out some of the kids attire. Loved it!!







In math, we learned about numbers 11-19. I introduced ten frames to them and a new game called Ten Frame Match. The kids really liked this. Here are some kids playing it during our math work time.




Thursday night was our Literacy and Math Fall Carnival. We had such a great turn out. Thanks parents for bringing your kids and being involved!! I took some pics of our kindergarten flex space before the kids and parents got there for everyone to see how awesome it looked!!! Thanks to all of our room moms and other parents who volunteered to help with decorating. You all did a GREAT JOB! :) :) :)

It's Fall Y'all!

It's definitely fall. Now that the leaves are turning colors and we have been talking about weather, I thought it would be appropriate to do a fall tree activity. We made these last week and I put them on our bulletin board outside our room. They really did a good job. Some actually made the leaves "fall" from the trees. Great detail!



I got a surprise gift from one of our favorites, Mrs. Diggs. If you don't know her, you need to! She is the best kindergarten aid ever!! She is so good with our kiddos. They absolutely love her. And we love her back. Here is a little happy gift she gave me. She is always so thoughtful.


We have been learning how to sort objects by different attributes. Here are a few pictures of the kids doing this!!



Nicholas sorted by color


Will sorted by shapes


Cheryl sorted by size


Aiden sorted by color


Tristan sorted by shapes

Our 2nd annual Boosterthon Fun Run was Wednesday, October 18th. The kids really had fun running laps around the track on the playground. They helped raise money for our school by getting pledges!! The pledges donated a certain amount of money for each lap they ran! Our class raised over $800! Way too go kids and parents! You are awesome! Here are a few pics I took that day.

2nd week of October

Well the kids loved learning about 3D shapes so much..we kept learning about them this last week. We played a sorting game with partners one day. The kids did great at this!!









We also practiced learning how to solve word problems in our math journals. Since we are learning about pumpkins and they are shaped like a sphere, I thought it was appropriate to do a problem like this.


Whoa!! Way too go Haven!! She did awesome showing all of her work and explaining it to the class.

We also had some exciting news from Coach D on Wednesday. We had two star students of the week in our class. Good job to Ryan and Evan! :)



We have been working on our -an and -ap word families this week. The kids love to scramble the letters that are unscrambled on the smart board. They put the letters together to make a word on their whiteboards!! Look at them goooo!
