We are off to a great start!

Kindergarten is off to a great start.  We are having so much fun and learning too!!!  The past two weeks we have been introducing the alphabet from A - Z.  We have learned to put our class names in ABC order. 

We have also been learning "All About Me".  We completed all about me books with our names, families and birthday.  We labeled head, shoulders, knees and toes and learned to sing it too!  We finished the unit with our five senses. 

We had so much fun tasting sour gummy worms, smelling scented bubbles, watching the bubbles fly (and chasing them).  We touched cotton balls and learned what our five senses are and how we use them.  We had a blast.  I am so excited by our students' desire to learn.  They are soaking everything up like little sponges.

Super Star's First Week of Kindergarten

We have had an exciting first week.  I have enjoyed getting to know my students this week.  We have had a lot of fun and learned a lot too!  We even chose a name for our class - Mrs. Brown's Super Stars.  We read Harold and the Purple Crayon  and then created our own purple story to share with the class.  We also learned that red and blue make purple. 

We celebrated two birthday's this week (Happy Birthday Jobani and Nevaeh!).

We read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and had a visit from a Chicka Chicka Letter Tree.

We ended the week with the color green.  We made a turtle by mixing yellow and blue to make green.  We ended the day with Green Eggs and Ham. We tasted green eggs and ham with another class and decided that most of our students did like green eggs and ham!  We ended our week with our first trip to the treasure box and then I sent seventeen very tired kindergarteners home to rest.
