This week we have been discussing different Christmas traditions from around the world. The students have learned about the Christmas tradition in the United States and about Hanukkah. Next week will be our last week before winter break and the students will finish their around the world books.

Yesterday, Santa brought us a gift. It was an elf on the shelf! The students named her Sparkles and she hides in our classroom everyday and the students have to find her when they get to school. Sparkles goes home to the North Pole every night to tell Santa how the students were behaving in school. The students are very excited about Sparkles!!

Today we wrote about what we are thankful for!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Miss Wick my practicum student from UNC showed the students a science experiment this week. The students were all very excited!!!!

How Do We Get Home From School Graph

We created a graph of how we get home from school today. We talked about how most students get home and how the least amount of students get home. Take a look at our finished graph.

Geoboards

This past week during math stations, we explored the use of geoboards. My students absolutely loved using them to create 2-D shapes. They were so amazed at the different sizes of shapes they could make as well.

Welcome to my new blog!!! I am very excited to share my daily experiences teaching kindergarten with all of you as well as post new ideas to use in my classroom.
