Annndddd...

It's the end of day 4! I am so proud of all my little buckaroos...We have worked HARD this week. Hopefully they have enjoyed it as much as I have! But I will be completely honest...I'm ready for the 3 day weekend. For some reason I decided 2:00 am would be a good time to wake up this morning! So needless to say...I was a little draggy this morning! UNTIL 7:40 and my day TURNED around! Look how my day started...

Now this is the way to start a DAY! Thank you my sweet little ones!










So, yesterday I told you there was something missing from our coconut tree...But before we could add those special characters we talked some more about concepts of print! We even added some new things to our circle map.  Someone said that words were in the book and then someone said that words have letters!  We talked about how to open a book and where to start reading.  I had a lot of little voices helping me read today! WHAT FUN...in order to go to our table spot and add not just letters but GLITTER letters we had to identify a letter from our flash cards.




After finishing up our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom trees we talked about rules!  I asked why we needed rules.  And just as I suspected some smartie britches told me to keep us SAFE.  We talked about keeping our rules positive...and made a list! Listen, keep our hands to ourselves, be NICE to others, walk.  I think they did a GREAT job.  Then we read NO David! by David Shannon.  We used our concept of print knowledge and read right through David's escapades!



We got to make our own David and talked about rules David should have followed.  I will post pictures of those cute little fellows tomorrow!

But here are some of the process. We are combining so much into our lessons.  Fine motor skills, rules, and concept of print!  Kinder isn't what it used to be! <wink>

By this time it was recess and lunch time (guess what...no lunch practice NEEDED) WOO HOO!

After lunch we talked about what makes each of us special. We watched Molly Lou Melon  Click Here

I think these are some of the most special kids I know!!!

We explored with some new math tubs today...and after P.E. with Coach Moore and Coach B we broke out the SCIENCE equipment!

Be sure to ask your little one to explain what each of these tools is used for! A balance, goggles and a hand lens! One of our favorites...

 Thanks for sharing your little one with me! Have a great evening!
