The number 9

Today we did the number 9. Just a quick re-cap… sorry.

 

       

 

The kids were great today!

The Great Number 8!!!

Today we learned the number 8. I was very impressed with how well each of them wrote them on the board.

Logan & Addi

 

Sayla & Kaden

 

Nikkya & Evelyn

 

Cannon & Deegan

I really try to encourage them to draw 8’s on the worksheet. I have been encouraging good effort by putting a sticker on the page after they draw one by themselves. They are all doing such a great job, and have grown so much in the last few months!

Then we sang “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” to introduce our craft project. We made spiders for two reasons:

• 1-Because spooky spiders are such a huge part of Halloween.
• 2- Because (most) Spiders have 8 legs!

My huge motive with this craft was to work on scissor skills. I have had to make a few adjustments with our curriculum while we work on them. This was a good way for them to try and cut a strait line.

This is our spooky 8 legged spider…

Miss Sayla had snack today. They all love handing out the treats.

At the end of the day, I had the kids practice writing their names. I have made each of them laminated name cards that they trace with dry erase markers. They are fun, and it makes them excited to see themselves accomplish something so huge!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! See you Tuesday.

A Birthday Celebration and more…

I know that I am 2+ weeks behind on my blog. My computer hard drive decided it was going to crash on me. I lost everything. It was a very sad day when the technician called and said that they couldn’t save anything. I cried… Lucky though I had been caught up on this blog. Sadly though, it has put me behind! But… slowly and surly, I am getting everything back in order. Or at least trying to.

This was back on October 11, 2011.  It was a special day, it was Nikkya’s birthday. We certainly did a little celebrating on her behalf!

For her birthday she brought some delicious cupcakes. They were hot pink, bright purple, and a lighter pink.

Make a wish Kya! I hope it comes (or came) true!!!!

I think they were a hit with my class. But, what do you think?

     

Don’t they look delicious!!! I couldn’t believe the mess that Logan made! Make me laugh. What a little stinker.

I got Nikkya a little something, and she was excited to open it.

  

Happy Birthday Sweetheart! Hope it was the best 5th Birthday ever!

Along with all of the party stuff, we did accomplish to learn a little to! It was all about the number 7 today.

They all did a pretty dang good job writing it to.

      

Must be our Lucky number 7!

For our craft we made these little apples trees that they cut out, and glued the 7 little apples on.

The finished projects!

Today was a great day!

To my Parents: If you could please let your little ones practice there scissor skills at home, I would greatly appreciate it. I still have some students that tell me they are not allowed to use scissors.

Also, if you could watch them as they are coloring, writing etc. that they are holding the writing utensil correctly. Some do not have this down just yet.

THANKS so much for everything! I just think your wonderful, and love your little ones.
