Five for Friday

This Robyn and I want to welcome any new readers!! We are so excited about our new blog!  We are linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday!  This has been a really fun week in Kindergarten! We have been learning all about the letter Ii!

Now on to the Five!

1) I am cheating a little and going back a few weeks to Columbus Day! We have so much fun learning all about this mysterious explorer.  They had never heard of him and were bright eyed and so interested when I was telling of his adventures. I used my Christopher Columbus TPT mini unit.  Their favorite part was creating their own ship.

2) This week we decide to set some specific goals for each subject.  We talked about them as a group and choose them together.  I loved how serious they got!  Reading: Say ALL sight words. Writing: Build out writing stamina to 20 mins. Math: Write to 50 and Science/S.S.- Be curious learners.  The reward is a popcorn party!  These are just written with a dry erase marker on laminated card stock.

3)  We ended the letter Ii week by eating ice cream sandwiches! YUM!  We rolled the edges in black and orange sprinkles.  They are the colors for our high school football team! They were a HUGE hit!

4)  We made really cute igloos with tissue paper, but we didn't finish.   I will have to post a picture later.  They are looking so cute!!

5)  My son is 4 and in Pre-K.  He is working really hard on his name every night.  He also had homework to match numbers 1-5 to dot cards.  He played the game over and over!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
