These have all of the letters of the alphabet on them. I found them in the hallway in one of the teacher give-away boxes this summer! I was so excited to find these and even more excited to finally use them! The bag had something else in it before but I decided it was a great holder for these! </div>

One student pulled out a ball and told the table what letter he/she got. Then, all of the students had to turn to that letter in his/her dictionary. They then chose one word that started with that letter to write on their paper. </div>

The boys and girls did an awesome job with this! It was really good for them to have to decide where in the dictionary the letters would be. They were encouraged to look up at our alphabet if they needed to. After a few minutes, they were pros at figuring out where the letters were. It was fun to listen to them say things like "oooh... p comes after m, so I need to turn the pages this way..." I was really proud and impressed :)<br />

We made a double bubble map comparing pumpkins and apples (blue circles). We then tasted pumpkin pie and apple pie and decided which one we liked better! As you can see, the majority liked the pumpkin pie better!<br />

We predicted what we would see, hear, smell and touch at the pumpkin patch! After we got back from the pumpkin patch we drew what we actually saw, heard, smelled and touched. It was fun to see if our predictions were right or wrong!<br />

We have been so busy and I feel like I finally have some time to catch up on here! As most of you know, I got married 2 weeks ago, so I have been pretty busy with that and didn't have much extra time to blog! But.... now that the wedding is over, I can resume my life as a teacher blogger :) We had an amazing wedding on a boat and I couldn't be any happier to be Mrs. Timmer!!<br />

Now onto the new year! To be honest, I have been so busy teaching that I haven't been very good at taking pictures to post. I promise to get better though! I have such a sweet class this year and they are doing a great job! We laugh and have fun all day long. They truly are a special group. I am so proud of how quickly they are learning our routines and how independent they have become in just a few weeks. We have really been working hard on our reading stations and I did have a chance to take a few pictures of a few stations the other day.<br />

"Seat Work" station- students always have an assignment to complete at their seat. We are starting to use our journals more everyday as seat work to use to respond to stories we read.<br />

"Learning Table" station- this station is very hands on. Students get to use play-doh, stamps, markers and more! In this picture you can see students using our letter bags to find and write letters.<br />

We also have a Computer station. The boys and girls rotate computers everyday. If it is not their day to be on the computer, they will go to the tub/puzzle station. Now that I have parent helpers coming in pretty much everyday (amazing) the students who are not on computers will be working with those parents on special projects and games.<br />Students go to every station everyday. They spend about 15 minutes at a station. During this time I pull my small groups for guided reading. I will post a picture soon of the wheel I use that shows who goes to which station.<br />I did my reading stations this way last year and it worked really well. The students know what to expect each day and although the stations activities change, they know what to do which makes things run smoothly! They truly get excited when it is time for our reading stations which makes me smile :)<br />
<br />
Well, I think that is all for now. Check back soon for more updates on our year so far! Have a great week!<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Well hello!! It has been awhile! I have been traveling across the country for the past month and let me tell you, it has been AMAZING! I was constantly amazed at how beautiful the country is that we live in! My fiance and I had the opportunity to drive from TN to Washington state (his hometown) and we did it!! The trip was blessed the entire time! We had no idea where we were going to stay each night but always ended up in the coolest places! We tent camped and stayed in a lot of cabins in State Parks along with a lodge in Montana with a natural hot spring! So fun!! In my opinion, camping in state parks is the only way to do it! Here are just a few pictures from our trip! (I took a TON of pictures but I won't make you all look at all of them ) Ok so I ended up putting up more than I had planned... there are just so many to choose from!! (and these are just from the drive out to Washington!!) I might need to post again about the trip back because Utah and Colorado were probably my favorite!! Absolutely beautiful!! It would be a shame if you didn't get to see them :) </span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Every year I enjoy doing a "Flip Flop Farewell" as one of our last writings. They always turn out super cute and it is always fun to see what the boys and girls favorite Kindergarten Memory is. We just started these this week so they are a work in progress but we got quite a few of them finished!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been super busy with our ABC Countdown the past 12 days! Yes this means that we "technically" only have 13 days left because our last day really isn't a day at all since all the parents do is come in with their child and pick up report cards. What better way to celebrate being halfway through our countdown than with movie day tomorrow for the letter Mm! Here is a re-cap from the last few days! I want to apologize in advance because I have been terrible at taking pictures. I guess I am just having too much fun :)</div>

I love career day. It is always fun to see what everyone wants to be when they "grow up". I hope that each and every one of my students always strives to be exactly what they want to be. Although this may change down the road, as long as they have a dream, they can be anything they want!<br />

It is crazy to think we started our ABC Countdown to the end of the year on Monday!!! For A day we always do Aloha day. Students dress for a luau, bring in fruit for a fruit salad and their beach towels!! This is probably my favorite day during our countdown. The kiddos always have a good time and are just as excited as me to be spending the next 26 days doing different activities!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For B day we did Bubble Day!! We blew bubbles with bubble gum, wrote an informative piece on "How to Blow a Bubble" (pictures coming soon), blew bubbles outside (pictures coming soon) and then did this fun bubble craft! I usually use paint and soap to create these but this includes using a different straw for each student and color (and lots of time). This year, I used actual bubbles and food coloring and they turned out great!! The boys and girls loved seeing the big bubbles show up on their papers and then pop them!</div>

Today was C day and we had Career Day! We were so busy today that I forgot to take pictures! :( I will take some pictures of their writings and upload those soon. I had lots of different careers today including; football players, a rockstar, a drummer, a principal, a Zookeeper, A "Bug Scientist", lots of teachers and more!!!! It is pretty exciting to think that these students can be anything they want to be :)<br />

Do you play Quiz Quiz Trade in your classroom? This is one of the BEST things I have discovered this year and I am so thankful I did. My students love it and they are pros at it! Check out my friend (and colleague) Debbie Burton's post <a href="http://www.kisforkinderrific.blogspot.com/2013/01/quiz-quiz-trade-with-number-bonds.html" target="_blank">explaining what it is!!!</a> Click <a href="http://www.kisforkinderrific.blogspot.com/2013/01/quiz-quiz-trade-with-number-bonds.html" target="_blank">here</a> to go to her blog! </div>

We have been doing an Author Study on Eric Carle so what better time to learn about insects!?! We have been having lots of fun reading Eric Carle books and non-fiction books on insects as well! We have been creating a list of "Insects" and "Not Insects" and it is fun to add to the list each day as the boys and girls come in excited to tell me something they want to add!<br />

One thing that I am proudest of this year is my kiddos ability to work together. I have really stressed this and held them accountable for not only themselves, but their partners or groups as well and they do an amazing job of helping each other. They have really learned the difference of "helping" not "doing" the work for them. This has been something that took a while to teach, but the results have been great!!<br />

Talk about a good time!!!! Instead of using a recording sheet, we just wrote the subtraction problems in our journals and it worked great! This was not only fun, but a great way to practice subtracting. It gave a great visual as well. Each child got two turns. We always started with 10 for our first problem and then used whatever number was left as our second problem. Ex. Ms. Mentzer knocked down 4 pins so our problem was 10-4=6. Then she knocked down 3 pins. Our new problem was 6-3=3. We then of course had two more turns just for fun and said the problems out loud rather than writing them down. This is an easy, cheap, (the bowling set was like $12) fun activity that we will use over and over and could even be played at home!!!<br />

My students absolutely LOVE the <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/CVC-Word-and-Addition-Games" target="_blank">Snowman Melts Game</a> from my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/CVC-Word-and-Addition-Games" target="_blank">Teachers Pay Teachers</a> store! They beg me to play so I decided to make this an early finishers activity. As you can see the group quickly grew as they were eager to finish their work so that they could play. They are playing the addition one. I really think they just like saying "It is so Hot, Hot, Hot!" :) I am hoping to make a subtraction version of this game this week! Click <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/CVC-Word-and-Addition-Games" target="_blank">here</a> to go to my store to get this game for your classroom!<br />

There is something about combining sidewalk chalk and Kindergarten kids that makes me smile. It could be the fact that we were outside or the excitement on their faces when I told them we were going out. Maybe a combination of both. We of course had to write some sight words and do some addition problems first but then they were able to draw or write whatever they wanted. They had a blast! :)<br />

Here is the video from our St. Patrick's Day visit from the Lenny the Leprechaun! He visits my classroom every year when the students are out of the classroom! It is always lots of fun to see their excitement when they get back into the room and they discover the mess he leaves! He of course left us a note, gold coins and a treat! This year it was rainbow colored sidewalk chalk!Kindergarten Starshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07064657649203703829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702619101897901300.post-73148387815200280162013-03-19T20:41:00.002-05:002013-03-19T20:41:41.944-05:00Common Core Aligned Teen Number Posters<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Tuesday!! </div>
We have been working really hard on composing and decomposing numbers into tens and ones and my students are doing awesome with this!! I am so thankful that the common core standards allow us to go into depth and help students understand numbers! The only problem is, is that unfortunately our curriculum is not exactly aligned to the Common Core Standards. Therefore, my Kindergarten Team and I find ourselves looking for, or creating materials to use. Well, here is my latest creation! These posters help students visualize place value and see the teen numbers as ten and (some) ones. Click <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Teen-Number-Posters-Common-Core-Aligned" target="_blank">here</a> to go to my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Teen-Number-Posters-Common-Core-Aligned" target="_blank">Teachers Pay Teachers Store</a> to get your copy! The best part is they come in 4 different colors! <span style="color: magenta;">pink</span>, <span style="color: blue;">blue</span>, <span style="color: lime;">green,</span> or <span style="color: yellow;">yellow</span>! I hope these are as helpful to you as they are to me :)<br /><br />

Although it was a sad day we had a lot of fun! Thank you to all of the parents who sent in supplies for our "party". They boys and girls did such a good job keeping it a secret. She had no idea :) <br />

This was the time that my student teacher Ms. B took over with her full time teaching. I was telling her about the Tacky the Penguin books and she found this great craft to make! The boys and girls had so much fun reading these stories and creating their "Tackys"!! They also did a great job writing in their journals cresting opinion pieces about whether they liked the books and why! Be sure to look closely and check out the addition craft that they did as well! Too cute and fun!! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK_Xb6HUkR65Bad_Hkarcd1V1GRa3CkhCViSQ0y5QZomp-ne_A8vWfETH1VhZbIZH1VnVPJSkSbb7qxbAN8zg-ulOIViD4OE-uG6E276L0g9Pyqt-_k5pB-YYQk-ch0Z6PA6Hvk4-E9Fw/s640/blogger-image-118040019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK_Xb6HUkR65Bad_Hkarcd1V1GRa3CkhCViSQ0y5QZomp-ne_A8vWfETH1VhZbIZH1VnVPJSkSbb7qxbAN8zg-ulOIViD4OE-uG6E276L0g9Pyqt-_k5pB-YYQk-ch0Z6PA6Hvk4-E9Fw/s640/blogger-image-118040019.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrGhtsgIuGA0eIryFt11Mu60VipcJrMW6MCdfEBD-5V53b-OaIIiihjuHz862I8doFSjQ00-vOdNT22tHozcK3kQor4gmgFccEvUjakkeFPF0dxNAS-sAkwddv869StIQTdVfiLGozNFM/s640/blogger-image--486092014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrGhtsgIuGA0eIryFt11Mu60VipcJrMW6MCdfEBD-5V53b-OaIIiihjuHz862I8doFSjQ00-vOdNT22tHozcK3kQor4gmgFccEvUjakkeFPF0dxNAS-sAkwddv869StIQTdVfiLGozNFM/s640/blogger-image--486092014.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBT1LWeRc2IR8Cg9bT-CqMr3buEldPHavzcoJs9muk8CFFc5M2QnA_SYTrPEotkSfVpwbzTBaLMCE2FYBbHfytew86w-6-R4Zwv1WuU6xrgFBjAx-Zk0ju6PBHqbRIbn4vGXw7EO_9Euw/s640/blogger-image-707472280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBT1LWeRc2IR8Cg9bT-CqMr3buEldPHavzcoJs9muk8CFFc5M2QnA_SYTrPEotkSfVpwbzTBaLMCE2FYBbHfytew86w-6-R4Zwv1WuU6xrgFBjAx-Zk0ju6PBHqbRIbn4vGXw7EO_9Euw/s640/blogger-image-707472280.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXW2yCDXRgduXLQHBska2ksF2ey2R2dmuQGsORqECjnNx3-OuiMWR20OsRCT_39YDUZBuGudDLzkKPVKWSRItBf6jbOh1IcoEMbvtXoPmLqw3dlDXUEUHyVufb8dBXkTjOA_N5Qj6AqaI/s640/blogger-image-2050116635.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXW2yCDXRgduXLQHBska2ksF2ey2R2dmuQGsORqECjnNx3-OuiMWR20OsRCT_39YDUZBuGudDLzkKPVKWSRItBf6jbOh1IcoEMbvtXoPmLqw3dlDXUEUHyVufb8dBXkTjOA_N5Qj6AqaI/s640/blogger-image-2050116635.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9_Oei_Fz5d4Kt2vvS5p4S7TW__SvGFtnMghIaUQU12YbFE0FT48fTriS5P3oy1CnVYSqUtjeOd4PIks1EywknFHXre-CMmnNvhREFKe26R7JmSWKpsQtnvuj6WjrihucAjtLYVl67l68/s640/blogger-image--2067067565.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9_Oei_Fz5d4Kt2vvS5p4S7TW__SvGFtnMghIaUQU12YbFE0FT48fTriS5P3oy1CnVYSqUtjeOd4PIks1EywknFHXre-CMmnNvhREFKe26R7JmSWKpsQtnvuj6WjrihucAjtLYVl67l68/s640/blogger-image--2067067565.jpg" /></a></div>Kindergarten Starshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07064657649203703829noreply@blogger.com0
