WOW! The school year is underway which means, my blogging time is typically limited to the weekends; which, coincidently, seem to be the times I really don't want to catch up with my blog because I would rather be doing other things like laundry, dishes, and sleeping (you know, the things I miss out on during the school week!). After that extremely long run-on sentence, I'll let the pictures do the talking:
 |
| During Daily 5 Time! YES-- These ARE kinders! READING BOOKS! and not talking! AND not even noticing I am there! I have fallen in LOVE with the Daily 5 and am so thankful that Pinterest introduced us this summer :) |
 |
| More Daily 5 - Read to Self. The kiddos get to choose wherever they would like to sit. I've got one laying in the kitchen on a reading rug, and two at the writing table, and NOT EVEN TALKING to each other! |
 |
My friends are math whizzes already! We have conquered graphing and tally marks, and it's only been 2 full weeks! :)
After my OBSERVATION (EEK!) on story-retelling and Brown Bear Brown Bear, we did a tally chart and graphed our favorite character from the story. Who knew the purple cat was such a big hit!? and NO ONE liked Brown Bear?! Hello?! He is the reason for the story! :) |
 |
| I already knew I was a little crazy. But then I created this glyph. Do not use without adult supervision! I mean, I had 4 parents in the room, and this was my rotation-- it took the kiddos like 40 minutes to do this. 3 groups x 40 minutes = a lot of sanity lost! I love them, but wish we would've had time to glue cotton balls on them. :( |
 |
| The Key for the glyph! |
 |
Close-up of the rainbow glyph! They turned out precious, but it was a pretty hard task! Wish we would've had a chance to graph some of our responses! BUT that might be like a 4th grade mean-median-mode sort of standard! :)
|
Excited to finally move on past shapes and colors and into the nitty gritty of the curriculum next week. I would be lying if I said I wasn't equally as excited for a three-day weekend (and a 4-day week)! and COLLEGE FOOTBALL!? Labor Day has officially become my second favorite holiday! (Second only to 4th of July, of COURSE!) :)
Have a blessed weekend friends!

Love this glyph! I just made monster glyphs for Halloween- my first ever glyph! I'm definitely doing more glyphs- great learning tools. Check mine out:
