A Great First Week

Friday is here and as I look back over our first week, I can just tell we are going to have a fantastic year!!!  The children have been settling in our routine and getting acquainted with our school.  We had our Parent Meeting last night.  It was such a pleasure meeting and visiting with you.  I look forward to our school year and getting to know you all better.

Here you will see a little of what was going on in our class this week.

We made our first graph using the poster that is pictured.  We are learning many ways to count.

Take a quick look at a few of our centers we did today.  

Here we have a an activity where the children are matching beginning sounds.

We also lined cupcakes up in ABC order.

At this center the children were building and then looking for the different shapes they used to build the structure.  

Here we have a couple of  more folder games.  This first one the children read the number word and numeral and then place the correct amount of kittens on the mama cats.

This folder game involved placing the cats in numerical order.

We have been talking about words that rhyme with cat.  It was fun reading the words by sliding the letter strip through the cat.

Each day we listen to a story as we read along with the tape / CD.

And this is how we ended our week this afternoon.

Well, we all survived the first week of kindergarten.  So, I would say, we had a fantastic week.
