Meet Our Classroom Visitors!

Well, here they are!  A few sweet visitors have come to hang out with us in Room A-1!  Our high school Science teacher is kind enough to share the snake and the turtles with us for a few days!  The kiddies are so interested in them!  They have lots of great questions and we're learning about Living and Non-Living things so they fit right in! 

 

This is my classroom fish!  He's very beautiful and he swims around most of the day just checking out the boys and girls!  Every day our Pet Caretaker (That's a great job!)  feeds him his special food. 
His name is Jack Benny.  Now that's a great name for a sweet blue Beta fish! 

 
 Here's another visitor in Kindergarten!  This is Miss Kelly from our Public Library!  She comes once a month to read to our kiddies!  She also promotes the great programs and activities that are available at the library!  The boys and girls LOVE having her come and read and I LOVE that she is so great with them.  She brings books that they love and songs that they can easily learn and sing! Yeah!  Thanks Miss Kelly!  You are awesome!

 

 I hope you're having a fabulous week!  It's starting to feel like Fall!  I love Fall!  It's my favorite season!

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!
