Welcome to TK

I am so excited to be starting another year of TK.  On our blog/webpage I will be posting student work as well as other classroom information. 

Happy Memorial Day

Here in TK/K we have been so busy. We wanted to wish our families a relaxing fun weekend as we celebrate Memorial Day.

Dr. Seuss Week

"The Foot Book" we measured our feet with cubes, paper clips, and a ruler with our big buddies from South Bay.

"The Cat in the Hat"

TK used thier fine motor skills to create paint mosaic renditions of The Cat in the Hat. Kindergarten sorted rhyming words, wrote rhyming words, and created an ABAB pattern with the words. Kindergarten also using listening and number knowledge using a hundreds chart to read The Cat in the Hat.

"Horton Hears a Who"

TK used thier fine motor skills to cut out Hortons trunk to hold the speck of Whos.

We ended outer week with science exploration of Oobleck from "Bartholomew and the Oobleck." TK and Kindergarten made a chart of how Oobleck looked, felt, and smelled. Kindergarten wrote about thier observations and drew a picture.

"One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" using painting technique of how paint does not stick to crayon-magic.

The theme of Read Across America was "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" All students decided what they wanted to be when they grow up.

Read Across America

  In our classroom we have been preparing for Dr. Seuss' birthday this coming Monday.

We have read several books written by Dr.Seuss and activities. This past Friday our big budgies from South Bay cane and we did an art project of the Cat in the Hat. You can see them displayed in the office. We also did a math activity measuring our feet.

Stay tuned for more of our Dr. Seuss Read Across America activities.

Valentine's

I hope everyone had a loving Valentine's Day. TK and Kindergarten celebrated Valentine's Day this past Friday. All of our language arts and math had a Valentine theme. We also won the box top challenge-two game boards and each student got an origional beanie! Thank you everyone who brought in box tops. Thank you parents who brought in healthy snacks to end our day.

"I'm Hooked on You Valentine"

Our wall of love. TK made heart trees with thier hands and heart cookie cutters, as well as some special finger painting to make the top boarder of hearts. Kindergarten reviewed their teen numbers  by completing the heart puzzle on the bottom.

I hope everyone is able to enjoy this week off. When we return to the classroom we will be preparing for Dr. Seuss' Read Across America and assessments for report cards.

Presidents

On Friday we learned about our first president, George Washington. This next week we will learn about Abraham Lincoln in preparation for Presidents Day. Check out our George Washingtons we made in the office during the month of February.

Groundhog's Day 2015

We have spent the last week learning about Groundhog Day. How well did our students predict the groundhog's weather.

12 students predicted 6 more weeks of winter.
