The past two weeks we have been working on our Apple Unit! We have working on counting by making "apple people," worked with the ten frame to count to 10 and done an apple taste-test!

Our class found out that we like red apples best. So we colored in our ten-frame to show how many kids like red apples! (Sorry forgot to take a picture of the ten frame, but you can see it here).

Hard at work coloring in our favorites!

 Taste-testing! Which do you like, yellow, red or green?

Thanks for sending in apples for our taste testing and projects parents!!

Teachers - here is my pack that was inspired by this unit!

Hope you can come and enjoy the evening!

First Weeks

It's year four, week four for me and the kids! Each year the beginning is exhausting and amazing all the the same time.

During the first few days, our classroom turns from students who need assistance with every direction and task, to students who can work independently, are gaining confidence in themselves and their abilities and are learning how to function in a classroom.

It is truly amazing!

Right now, we only have 20 students (compared to 26 and 24 the last two years) and each is obviously at his/her own comfort level in school. But WOW - are all my students catching on to the routines quickly!

As we get back from labor day, we are starting our Apple Unit and preparing for Curriculum Night (Open House) on Thursday! Look at these cute shape people we made (CCSS.Math.Content.K.G.B.5 & CCSS.Math.Content.K.G.B.6)!

In other news....it's FALL!! Yessss! I LOVE fall....ok that is all. :o)
