MyDayinK: Let Them be Little: My Back to School Ramblings
http://mydayinkinder.blogspot.com/2015/07/let-them-be-little-my-back-to-school.html
Let Them be Little: My Back to School Ramblings. The time has come my friends. Summer is quickly coming to an end for me and before I know it I will be. It is during the end of July early August that I start to think about myself as a teacher. I think about the classes I have had and the lessons I have learned. I start to prepare myself for the new year ahead. Yes, that is right! So I always try to. Let them be little. Let them ask questions. Let them talk to their peers. Let them problem solve. We leave...

I'm linking up with the always inspiring Miss DeCarbo at Second Grade Sugar and Spice. For a little Wordless Wednesday fun today!

Students can whip this up on their own or you can provide them with a blank template that's laminated so students can easily reuse them! I hope you're having a great week! Thanks for stopping by!

This week has been a whirlwind. I had three days with my kiddos and then we had conferences and a day for Professional Development. My Monday started with one kiddo telling me about her weekend. Could not make this stuff up if I tried. Our upcoming science unit is about water exploration. I have uploaded a unit on water to my TPT store. This unit has vocabulary cards, a water easy reader where students can write facts they have learned, a water can be cut and glue activity, and water cycle activities.

It has a topic and 3 clues, it is a.RIDDLE! We started to learn how to write riddles in KS today! I introduced riddles during our writing workshop mini lesson and then students had a chance to practice it. This is a sample of the riddle paper I used with my class. I have included this paper as a link at the bottom of my post. We wrote a riddle as a class so I could model how to do one. We wrote a class riddle about a frog. I demonstrated how to draw the picture and write the answer. Now that I have intro...

Five for Friday: The First Full Week! I have almost made it through my first full week of kindergarten and it has been a great week! There have only been two nights that I have fallen asleep on the couch around eight, so I consider that a success. We have had no crying (by me or the students), no accidents, and we have been having lots of fun. The kiddos are doing a great job learning the routines and procedures of the room. I am excited for a fun filled year! Lastly, I'm really trying to hold true to th...

Making The Most of Your Classroom Walls. Like I didn't have enough on my plate, last week I tore down my math wall and decided to start over! My old math word wall cards were adorable. They used really cute clip art and fun fonts. However, I came to the realization that I only had them up because I liked them {insert gasp and dreaded feeling of being a horrible teacher! To a student, these cards were probably very distracting and were not helping them learn and remember the vocabulary. Here is part of my...
