Be the Word and a Birthday Celebration

Welcome Back to School!!  

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break.  I know I sure did, but I missed my classroom kiddos! :0)  Also, thank you very much for the wonderful Christmas presents, and I am sorry I missed our last day together.

This week we learned a new sound "or."  Orty Orsen is sore when she orders four pairs of shorts and the store sends her forty!  So to practice our new words, I let the kids "be the word!"  They just love this.  

We also had a birthday celebration today.  Happy Birthday Megan!  We even had purple cookies.  Yummy!

Pass, Pass, Pass the Purse

The kids love this game.  We have all kinds of things in a "purse," and we sing this catchy little tune....."Pass, pass, pass the purse, pass it round and round. We're looking for a special sound and look at what we found!"  Have them sing it for you! :)  When the song stops, the person holding the purse pulls out an object and tells us what it is and what sound it starts with.  I have them do the gesture too just to make sure they know it! :)  They always get a good laugh when someone pulls out the "t-t-toilet!"

What Do You Do????

What do you do when you have to teach a class full of "energetic" kindergarten students all day without a voice? Eeeeek!  Well......I teach "J" and give them all scarves to juggle!  Wow!!  Good thing we all just received speaker systems for our classrooms.  :o)

  

 

I love making things real for my students.  Jenny Jaguar juggles, so let's do it too! :o)  

Meet Timmy the Tiger

The kids loved learning the letter T.  We got to meet Timmy the Tiger.  Ask the kids to show you our gesture which helps us remember the sound T makes.  But watch out, you might get TICKLED!
