Learning Letters

We have now met all the letter land characters. We are working hard to memorize letter names and sounds. We have been practicing tracing letters, using flash cards, and doing letter finding activities.

Mathematicians in the making

We've been busy learning how to count to 30 and write numbers 1-10. We sing, dance, exercise, stretch, and use silly voices to practice counting daily. There are a variety of fun you tube videos we use (count to 20, get fit count to 100, help me count, and chicken count). Feel free to look them up at home to have fun helping your child practice counting! Here's a look at what we've been doing in math centers...

End of year celebration

I'm so proud of all of them! I'm going to miss seeing their bright, smiling faces. I told them they can always come visit and I hope they do. They will have a special place in my heart as my very first class of students! 

They did a great job singing about being leaders and going off to first grade! 

Here are some of the pictures of students with their awards. If you didn't get a good one of your child please let me know and I'd be happy to e-mail you it. 

Give a hug lady bug!
