King/Queen of the Day

Something else that I do each year with my kids at the start of the school year is an activity called King and Queen. Each day there is a different king or queen. They get to wear a crown, robe, and share their items in their get to know me bag! We learn how to spell their name and do an interview with them. The other students learn how to write the king and queen's name and draw their picture, too. Here are a few of the students who have already had their special day! 

                                            

Math Time!

At the beginning of the year, we spend lots of time learning about math manipulatives. They will be using these tools throughout the year during our math workshop and math centers. The students learned how to use these, what they were called and were able to explore with them at their tables. They were introduced to color tiles, pattern blocks, attribute links, and snap cubes. The kids absolutely LOVED this. Here are some pics of the kids building with the manipulatives at their tables. I am very impressed with their creativeness and how they used their imaginations. Smart kiddos!!

First week in K!!

What a fun, exhausting, learning, exciting time it has been in room 110 at Roberts Elementary. We have had a blast so far and looking forward to many more days with these kiddos. They are adorable and hilarious. Our class is super corky and I love it! They keep me laughing! I am happy to announce that I have some awesome new polka dots this year! :)

It's a tradition for my students to take their picture on the first day of school. They held a sign while I took their picture. I printed them, put them on cute scrapbook paper, and laminated them. They were a surprise gift for them and their parents the first week of school. Check out who all is in my class!!

Mrs. Geurin's 2014-2015 Polka Dots

Welcome parents to our class blog. I will try my best to upload pictures every week letting you see what all we have been doing in our K class. As you are aware, we will be sending newsletters home weekly but having a blog keeps parents involved and a good visual where you and your child can read and explore together. I hope you enjoy it and check it often.

Last week, the teachers at Roberts received their class rosters. I was so anxious to see who all would be in my class. I got busy writing postcards to let the children know I would be their teacher. I worked hard getting my room ready to meet my little polka dots and their parents Thursday night at Meet the Teacher Night.

In room 110, we did stations! It runs so smoothly where the kids and parents can get to know the room better. Check out some pictures of the stations below.

Welcome to my class!!!
