It is busy, busy, busy...

Each month 2 students are selected for kids with character. They demonstrate our character word and are selected by me. They are invited to a party in the dining room where they are recognized and get a award. Hunter and Lanphia received August/September's word: Respect. This is afterwards when they returned to the classroom. His mama captured a cute photo! 

Heidi and Ethan were the MVP's in PE with Mrs. Apsche this week!

Even with the business of fun educational activities, we were able to learn about nouns. The kids love using the Smartbaord and using technology in the classroom. This was a great sorting activity where the kids decided which picture was an animal or a thing. I then had them go to their journals and draw me a different animal and thing to see if they understand this concept. They did a pretty good job! Some of them even used labels/captions!

We had a special visitor at Robert's Elementary this week. Greg Dee, Meteorologist from Channel 4 cam to visit our kinders. He did a 45 minute presentation with the kids. He showed the kids lots of pictures, videos, and told great safety information regarding storms. He even filmed all the classes that will be aired this coming week at 6:14 and 6:44. Tune in and watch all week to find your child and their class.

 We are learning the process of writing and what we can write about during free write. We made a list of just a few things that the kids said. We added a lot more the following week. This will help the students refer to it when they need a resource.

 I introduced Writer's Workshop to my students this week also. This is what I hope each of my students will be able to do after I teach a mini lesson at the carpet. We have implemented it and some students are already demonstrating these responsibilities. So proud!

 It is field trip day! We headed to the park near the Art Center for a picnic and play time before we saw Go, Dog, Go! Love my students and their sweet smiles.

Here we are heading back to school after the play. I caught some of the kids sleeping on the way back. It was such a fun day but super exhausting.

 Book Character Day was a success! Our school dresses as their favorite character from their favorite book and we have a parade. We had such a fun time. The UCA drumline comes and starts the parade with admin, specialists, grades following behind. We start at the kindergarten wing and go through the first floor out infront of the school and back through the K wing. We even have judges come into the classrooms to pick the best costumes.
