Welcome to Kindergarten!

Hello kindergarten families!

I wanted to welcome each and every one of you to our classroom blog!  Here, you will find, pictures, reminders and updates about what we will be doing in kindergarten this year!  If you have any questions, please fell free to contact me through email or by phone.  My planning period is from 12:30 - 1:25pm, so that is the best time to get in contact with me.

I also wanted to share some pictures about what we did during our first day of school!  We began by learning a new song called Tootie Ta! It was a silly song that required the children to listen to the directions to see what they would be doing next.  We giggled through the whole song! 

"a tootie ta, a tootie ta, a tootie ta ta!"

We also read an amazing book called The Kissing Hand.  It was all about a young raccoon who is nervous about starting his first day of school.  His mother then kissed his hand and told him that if he held it to his cheek, he would be able to feel his family's love with him whenever he needed.  We then made Kissing Hands for our own families, just in case they were nervous while we were in school learning new things!

Her we are working in our centers! Our choices were library, blocks, Mr. Potato Head, sand table and puzzles.  We made our way through half of our center rotations, and will finish tomorrow!






Here we are enjoying our first kindergarten lunch in the village area.




Here we are enjoying our first time on the playground during recess!











During math, we discussed the different lengths of strips of paper, including which one is longer or shorter.  We then chose strips of paper and played a matching game to find our math partners with the same length of paper!  Each pair of kindergarteners took turns asking each questions about their favorite color, animal, food and how many siblings they had.  We had a great time on our first day of kindergarten!
