SHAPES

Hello Everyone!  I'm super excited that we are diving into our new Investigations Unit 5 on Shapes!  As I continue my GLAD journey, I am beginning to apply it to each subject in my classroom.  I put together this little number for my kids, and wanted to share it with you too!  I will be creating a large Process Grid, which we will be able to refer back to over the course of the unit.  I recently assessed my kids to see if there were any shapes that they were still struggling with within the WA state standards and will spend more time on those holes, but alas, that rectangle was a hard one.  You'd think it would be a sphere (super cute when they say it with loose teeth), but no...it was the rectangle.  Bizarre. But, that is easy to fix, right?  I love opening their eyes to the shapes all around them, and this clip art from Teacher Laura was a super fun way to help them start to see shapes.  Don't forget some of these literature shapes staples too!

Here's the FREEBIE I promised!

Rabbits

I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to see my garden blooming again!  Happy Spring, everyone!

Just like all of you, I am beginning to think about all that needs to be accomplished before the end of the year. There's not much time left.  Everyday I am amazed at the amount of growth there is in Kindergarten!  It's like magic.  I continue to remind them that it's a garden and they will bloom at their own time.  Here's one of my favorite books that demonstrates this concept: click here to take you to Amazon to purchase.

We are studying all sorts of wonderful things in our room, including: Spring, Rabbits, Measurement, Plants and Bugs.

Here's a peek into my classroom the last few months.  A FREEBIE is waiting for you at the end too!

Take a look at some  of our fun activities.  Find more in my Rabbits, Rabbits and (more) Rabbits pack in my TPT store.

The writing template is based on a Guided Language Acquisition Design- Sequencing Patterning Chart.
Here's a closer look:

This is one of the best ways I have found to help my Kinders generate great sentences about a non-fiction topic!  Try it out!  We assign a color and motion to each one and go through them each day. The sillier you make the motions the more they will remember them...trust me!
