Countdown to 1st Grade A-D

It is hard to believe that the year is almost done! 

This group of sweethearts have grown SO much in the past 154 days and we are celebrating with an ABC countdown to First Grade.

 

Our class at the beginning of the year

For A we put things into ABC order. The kids did really wonderfully when they came to students who had the same first letter and really figured out how to go through the letters to decide who went first in our line.







Please excuse the black frame, I was still figuring out
the iPad camera!

It is really hard to get 25 kids to look and smile in the
same direction at the same time, so we gave in and did a
silly picture!

 Day 2 was Bring your favorite book. We spent the day reading everyones favorite books from home. This class absolutely loves reading!

 

Day 3 was Color so everyone wore their favorite colors, a very bright class that day!

Day 4 was 'Do day so everyone wore their craziest hairdo! This picture doesn't do justice to the curls, colors, braids and mohawks we had going on that day. :)

 

Among all of our fun we are getting a lot of learning into our last weeks of Kindergarten. We have been learning about community helpers, and how we should act in our home, school, and city communities.

 

A parent in our school is a firefighter, and she graciously came in and talked to our classes all about their very important job.

 

We also had a visit from Eric Rohmann who taught us all about how to write books. He was very funny and the kids loved his talk!

 

 

To wrap up our unit on community helpers each child researched a community helper of their choice and then wrote a book about them. They then dressed up as their community helper and presented their learning to other classes.
