Read Across America Week

We kicked off Dr. Seuss week down a few kids today. I'm hoping everyone is back to normal tomorrow!

Under The Sea

Today in kindergarten we went UNDER THE SEA!!  The kids came in to a classroom decorated to the nines with ocean waves and algae hanging from the ceiling

After we did the morning pledge, we went to centers where students had to make words on a submarine, fish for words with diagaphs (but don't catch the SHARK!), and find buried treasure in the sand to practice sight words. Thanks to Mrs. Kramer, we had Under the Sea and other fun ocean music playing in the background!

For math, we put sea shells in order from 1 to 20 and then

we graphed sea animals.  In the afternoon we did some under the sea math and literacy activities with our reading buddies, and we hula hooped and played bean bag toss with some friends from Mrs. Ballard's class.

(This was a work in progress!)

We also had the chance to go to Star Lab today.  The kids learned about constellations and heard some stories. 

Tomorrow is Tropical Island Day!  The fun will continue.  Students will rotate to each grade level and compete a fun, Tropical Island related activity.  They will come back to the classroom and read books and have a luau party.  Just a friendly reminder, tomorrow is a 11:05 dismissal!
