Classroom pics and a Sale!

Hi friends! Its been a while since I have blogged.  Wow, this year is flying by.  State testing is around the corner and our elementary hall is buzzing.  Even though I don't test in Kinder, I still feel the anxiety that the kids and teachers are feeling.  Well on a different note, my students are working hard on short vowels.  We are about to start long vowels.  I have already been teaching some blends and diagraphs.  They are loving it.  I use Deedee Wills' Word Explorer for my phonics and sight words.  It is perfect!  Here is a link: Word Explorer by Deedee Wills. 

Here is my behavior chart.  It is Deedee's as well. You can download your own when you become a fan of her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MrsWillsKindergarten
Everyone starts on green each day.  They get two warning before they move down each time.  However they can also move to Amazing.  When they move to Amazing they can pick a prize out of the prize box. 






Here are my math station boxes.  I meet with my math small groups the last hour of the day and the other students work on these boxes.  They do 2 a day.  The labels came from Deedee Wills' TPT store.  Its a freebie! 

Below is my student work pocket chart.  Each pocket has a child's name on it.  The students know that when they complete their station work or seat work that they are to put it in their "pocket".  It makes my life much easier.  Before I go, I am also having a sale at my TPT store this weekend.  Check it out! Have a wonderful week!

More Dr. Seuss and Misc!

Ok so this is day 18 of snow days(all together).  This has been one crazy school year.  Anyway, I had this week planned for Dr. Seuss activities.  I'll have to make up for it now!  We have missed so much school that I haven't been able to spend very much time on my Content Area activities.  So now for the Dr. Seuss talk.  My wonderful mother made my door for me! Take a look.  She is amazing!

Dr. Seuss ABC

 

I read the book Dr Seuss' ABC 's.  to my kids.  We reviewed beginning sounds of each letter.  I each student do letter page(some did more than 1).  They loved it!

I am also working on posting my lesson plans each week(or at least a sneak peak).  Here are a few things that my students will be working on:

 

Deedee Wills' March Poetry Notebooks

Last week we worked on "Your Body" from Deedee's unit.  The kids had so much fun and were VERY engaged.
