Totally Terrific Tt!

This week is a fast and fun week - I apologize now for the lack of pictures. 

This week we focused on the letter Tt.  We started off the week by reading a story called: Duck on a Tractor.  It was a cute story to introduce the letter Tt.  After we read the story we thought of Tt words and wrote them down.

Here is our Tt craft - we made letter Tt tractors! 

Working on some sight word work: blue. 

We have been learning about nouns these past few weeks.  Here we are looking through and cutting out pictures to go in our noun book.  We had to find people, animals, places and things! 

Working on our color fall trees. 

Our letter Tt tractors up! 

This week the Kinders got to bring in a truck on Thursday.  The whole day we worked learned about trucks.  It went well with our reading story this week as well.   We thought of things that trucks can do and we listed them. 

Finding the letter Tt in our Tt hunt. 

The school had a surprise visitor from Kentucky - the reptile guy.  This was a great time since we just learned about reptiles! 

In this picture he is holding a six year old boa.  

A young python snake. 

Some iguana - I can not remember it's type of it.  It was a rowdy one though :). 

A 20 year old tortoise. 

We are building a town for our trucks!  Once we were all done we got some free time to play with our trucks! 

We went over out Tt words again and wrote some into our trucks. 

A truckload of Tt words! 

Dancing through Homecoming Week!

We danced our way through Homecoming this week!  Our theme was "Dancing through the Decades."  It was fun week for the Kinders and their outfits for each day were awesome!! 

Here some a few things we did this fun, crazy and busy week! 

Buddy reading - when we read to a partner or a puppet!  This week we read our little stories to our puppets!

The leaves that we water colored last week are up for our September door decor!  They turned out awesome! 

70's day!

Peace!

One of our sight words this week was: it.  We are dot painting using Q-tips the word it. 

Our color sight word of the week was red.  This song was very catchy!  I heard them singing it through the day and then I even sang it at home! 

Our red poem/song went into our journals.

This week we were introduced on classifying and categorizing.  We first sorted out buttons by color as a whole group by putting them in the matching color bucket.  Then we separated into groups and sorted them by shape. 

Busy working on our homecoming posters. 

Math centers.  One of our centers was the "Dump It' game.  We have been learning ways to make five. They each got 5 double sided goldfish (one side red/one side yellow).  They shook their fish in the cup and dumped them onto the tray.  However many red or yellow fish they got they had to draw that many circles in the correct color box.  They LOVED this game and did a very good job!

Dot painting the correct number of leaves on each tree. 

In Science this week we learned about reptiles.  We learned that they have scales, lay eggs and are cold blooded.  Some reptiles can even live in the water! 

We read stories about reptiles and also saw some real pictures of reptiles as well. 

We made some snakes on the last day of our unit.  The roughness of the noodles were to represent the feeling of the scales on our snakes.   

Lined up and ready to go march in the parade with our posters!  Go Big Blue!!
