I look forward to each day as my Kindergarteners grow, create, and imagine. Our classroom is a place where we learn together and from each other. This blog will follow us and our learning adventures this year!

Our Five Senses



We played many games to learn about each sense!  For sight, they used their sight words to write what they could see!  They also brought labels and signs from home for our poster.

I can read a lot of things!

For hearing, we read the story Polar Bear, Polar Bear What Do You Hear? and made all the animal sounds in the story.  We made our own Halloween versions too!

We had fun with our smell jars and taste test too!  Many of us liked the smell of cinnamon and of course the "sweet" tastes like chocolate chips and Skittles!

Sorting our 5 senses

The students also played a "touch game" where they had to feel items in a bag and guess what they were without looking as well as pull items from the bag that they thought felt "soft, fuzzy, hard, smooth, and rough".  We had fun writing our sight words in mushy shaving cream too!

"I can"


As a little sneak peek of what our Math Center time looks like, here are a few pictures of the students hard at work counting, adding, making patterns, and practicing number writing.
