Labeling

I saw this on Pinterest and LOVED it.  My littles loved it, too.  We've been labeling for a while and finally a crazy Friday came.  Can you tell what they mostly wanted to label. I had 6 post-its on my eyes.  This was so much fun for everyone.  Thanx Pinterest <3

We've been i school almost 6 weeks and this is the only picture I've taken of my room.  It's my morning corner.  You can see the calendar, pocket chart for straws, days, months, behavior chart, book basket and morning message for the first few days of school.  Noise chart is above the message.   

Kindergarten Common Core

Louisiana has introduced teachers to the Common Core this year and as A Kindergarten teacher am VERY VERY  overwhelmed.  This book seems to have what I need to survive the insanity.

A visit to Target

The town I live in doesn't have a Target : (  So when I go and find this much good stuff I get really excited.  It doesn't take much.  They had lots of different colored baskets and bins in the $ spot.  I'm not sure what I'll do with them yet.  I picked up few more of the small dry erase boards since my littles love using them.  The dry erase pockets will be great.  Now I won't have to laminate so many sheets.  Can't wait to go back.

Check out their giveaway and enjoy them as much as we do.

word study

We do alot of activities with words and letters in as many ways as I can come up with.  Thanx to blogging, I have a whole new world of resources now.

This is a simple thing I've done for years.  Words to go with whatever we are talking about are written and matched with letter tiles.

Stamping and writing are simple, easy and fun.

A site that correlates with our reading series, "elderweb" created these to go with our popcorn words.  They have to create, glue, write and draw using words we have already learned. 

We are just now getting the hang of nonsense words.  Games like thses help alot.

When I found the Scrabble Jr. Cheez-its I had to try this.  They had a blast.

What fun things do you do to help your little ones learn to use their letters and words?

100 days "tireder"

We celebrated our 100th day today and I am worn out.  we started out sharing what we would do with $100.  We made headbands with ten strips of ten stickers, that turned out so cute.  We found 100 pre-numbered stickers all around the room and matched them to the 100's chart.  (I think I posted this last year, but forgot a pic this year)

We strung 100 Froot Loops in sets of 10 for an edible necklace.  

I see I put my pics in backwards order.  That's how tired I am, but I really wanted to post.  I am exhausted, but the kids had a BLAST!!!  For me that's all that mattered.

I did try to get a shot of them in their headbands, but I couldn't block out faces so I gave up.

Only 80 more to go!!!
