Look What Else Is Hopping Around In Room A-1

Great news!  This week in Room A-1 we're learning about frogs, toads and tadpoles!  We still have our sweet little chicks, but we're adding these to the mix of animals in our classroom!

Aren't these just so beautiful?  They are, it's true!!  Thanks to Mr. S. at the High School for sending them over to us!  The kiddies are already so excited to see these!  If they start croaking in the room, I'll have to figure out a way to keep the kiddies on track and try to help them to not be distracted by them!  Any suggestions?


We will follow the frogs and our bullfrog tadpoles so that they kiddies can learn about and enjoy these sweet little frogs!

Here's a picture of our other fishy friend, Ernest Ray, the Beta fish.  He's pretty quiet, just likes to go along swimmingly.

Spring is a busy time in our Kindergarten classroom!  Have a great week in yours!
Thanks for visiting!

Good Ole' Dr. We Know Who!

We've been enjoying some great rhyming, some great nonsense words and some great stories written by our favorite Dr. We Know Who! 

Yesterday we read a story about a turtle named Yertle.  The boys and girls created a turtle craft to help them retell the story!  We talked about what makes a good leader and brainstormed some great leaders that we know!

 

The story about one fish and then another and one that's red and one that's a different color inspired us to estimate how many goldfish crackers were in 2 kid sized bags!  (One little bag for the girls and one little bag for the boys!)  I wanted to use the little bags because the total number was around 100 and we could count that ourselves!  After we estimated, recorded and counted, we all had a tasty goldfish snack!  Yummy!

 





 

Tomorrow we'll be reading that book about the kitty that wears a colorfully striped hat!  We'll make a fun little hat to wear all day!  We'll do a cut and paste matching sheet to practice rhyming words and play a game to identify real and nonsense words!  What a busy week! 

Have a great one!
