Boy, oh, boy the time flies! I cannot believe that it is Friday already! Whew!
Like many teachers, I have caught one of the "bugs" that are crawling around the classroom..... No, not those "bugs" the ones that make you sick! (smile) I seemed to have caught a cold and therefore my energy was a bit drained this week! Things seem to be getting better, though; hopefully it will all be over by the first of next week!
1. We finished our Apple unit and spent most of the week learning about Bees. We do our Insect unit in the Fall. One of the reasons is that we can FIND insects in the Fall. In the Spring, the insects are just waking up and we cannot always find them before school ends. We have a wonderful "Kinder Garden" in the back of our school and it is so much fun to take our little ones outside to do an Insect Search. We even found a busy bee greedily searching for nectar in our marigolds!
3. For the past few weeks, we have been working on 2D shapes and number sense.
For 2D shapes, my kiddos created simple pictures from shapes. My kiddos had a lot of fun creating their illustrations and didn't even realize that they were working on a Kindergarten Common Core Standard!
Asters..... They are my most favorite Fall flower!!
And look what I found today...... This is our Easter lily that I planted in the Spring and it is blooming in the Fall! Wow!
So that's it for now... I hope you all have a wonderful and restful weekend!
Hop over to Doodle Bugs Teaching for some awesome ideas and reflections!
Until next time!!
Blessings,
Cindy
