Wonderful Wednesday!!

Wow!  What a wonderful Wednesday we have had in Kindergarten!  We are learning so many awesome things and keep getting smarter every day.

Yesterday, Mrs. Deaton showed us a new thing on the Internet.  She showed us Twitter. We get to use Twitter to meet other kindergarten friends all over the world. Guess what? We met our first class of friends in Texas. Their teacher's name is Mrs. Williams. They have a very smart class like we do. This week, Mrs. William's class is wearing the color red to promise that they will live a Drug-Free life. We wanted to do the same thing as them. That's why we all wore RED today! We looked SO great in our red. Mrs. Deaton and Mrs. Feller even wore red, too!

Over the last few days, we have talked a lot about Halloween.  Our work centers have to do with pumpkins and other halloween things.  One of our work centers is making spider hats. On the end of each leg, we glue a picture and a letter that go together.  For example, we glued a turtle for the letter Tt.

Another work center was gluing pumpkins on a gate.  We have been saying our poem called "5 Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Gate".  We have to glue our pumpkins from biggest to smallest.

Since our letters are Dd and Ss this week, we have been doing some work centers with those letters. We got to be a detective in one work center.  We made hats and walked around the room searching for Dd words.  Dance, diaper and dinosaur were a few of the words we found.

We also sorted and glued Dd and Ss words.  Two of our pictures were spoon and desk.

Daily 5 has been going very well this week.  One thing we have done in Working with Words is making our sight words on pipe cleaners with letters. We have been doing a good job with iStation on the computer. We get to use Mrs. Deaton's iPads to do Raz-Kids.  There are a lot of great books on Raz-Kids! We have been practicing writing the letters Dd and Ss on our dry erase boards too.

Yesterday, we had to eat lunch in the classroom.  We had to do that because 3rd graders were taking their important test.  It was fun to eat in the classroom because we got to watch PBS Kids while we ate. We watched Sid the Science Kid.

We are learning about counting in math.  We have been singing a lot of counting songs on the SmartBoard.  They are fun and silly.  Today, we counted from 1 to 100 and did a lot of exercises.  It was fun. During Math Centers, we get to play Top It with a friend.  We play IXL on the computers. Also in math, we are putting pumpkins in order by number.  Some of us put the numbers in order from 0-10 and some of us did it from 11-20.  We are still doing our pattern block shapes in math, too.  We made a pattern block dolphin and counted how many pattern blocks we used.

It has been a busy week.  We have a lot more to say about school but it's time to go home now.  We better end the blog now! :)
