A Full Five Days

We had a busy week!  A huge part of this week was getting to know each other, especially learning each other's names.  We practiced writing our name quite a bit too!  For the next several weeks, we will continue to build our routines and expectations.  Each week we will have a focus skill.  This week our skill is, "I can walk quietly in the hall."  Through out the week we put an emphasis on this and try our best to meet this goal.  As I notice our kiddos meeting this goal, I will put their picture on a chart that hangs in our classroom.  We call these kids super kids.  If they still need practice with this skill, next week is a great chance to earn the title of super kid. Today the students that are on the poster got a special tiny certificate to take home and share their good work with you.  Ask your child to see if he or she is a super kid this week!  Here is our week in pictures.  

Drawing self portraits

Taking a brain break to dance

Enjoying our Choice Time

Finding a friend with a matching length strip to ours.  Then we had to ask them some questions to get to know them.

Coloring birthday cakes.  These will hang on our wall to help us celebrate our friends birthdays.

We made our names using torn paper.  This is a great way to practice fine motor skills and the letters in our names.

 Enjoying the weather on the playground.

Check out some of shape creations!

Happy Birthday Friend!  Thanks for sharing treats!

We decorated our writing notebooks.

Taking a walk to look for numbers

We had a fire drill today.  They were amazing!

We found a fire hydrant so we had to check it out.

 We made paper collage self portraits.  They turned out awesome!

Just a couple little cuties on the playground.

Have a great weekend!
