On the Loose with Dr. Seuss Fun!

Dr. Seuss week was quite a "Suess-ess"! Unfortunately, I missed out on most of the fun since I was sick :( , but Ms. Nelly and Mrs. Z held down the fort (thank you!)! We read books, dressed up, participated in some exciting activities and even paraded around school! Check out our busy week below! 

Day 1

Wearing our red and blue....

We also sorted and graphed our names on the Promethean Board
to see who was wearing red, blue, red and blue or a different color.

A little fishy art and math! 

Day 2

Crazy cats in their hats! 

We liked "The Cat in the Hat Came Back"!

Cat(s) in the Hat(s) made by the crazy cats in their hats above! 

Day 3 (My favorite!)

Clothes inside out, backwards, 2 different shoes, crazy hair....Pre-K is WACKY!!!

The Wacky Ladies!

The Wacky Gentlemen!

Day 4

So many silly mismatched socks!

                                      

Teachers being silly....showing off our socks!             

Sock Parade with Kindergarten and First Grade around the school! 

 

After a week of being home sick...I was able to make a quick stop in for a surprise visit!
I missed these kiddos and felt the LOVE! Just the medicine I needed! :) xx

Handmade, handprint, Fox in Socks with rhyming words attached!

Practicing making rhyming pairs! (Love pocket charts!)

So much rhyming with Dr. Seuss on the Loose (Hey....that rhymes!)!  :)

Thank you for participating and joining us on this fun author study adventure!!!!

That's a wrap!

Thursday, March 17th is St. Patrick's Day! I invite my students to wear something green to school!

 

Lots of Learning in Pre-K!

We are moving right along in learning our letters/letter sounds! Last week....reading teacher, Mrs. Evanko and I, even introduced our first two sight words (I, the)! The students learned how to tap out each word, then put the word together and used the words in sentences! Although we are not focusing on sight words as much as letter identification and sounds, we will introduce a number of them to the students. Another skill we have been working on is learning the difference between words and letters. We are becoming little experts at being able to circle words and letter (and numbers) in our daily morning messages!

Reviewing letter/letter sounds and writing the letters in the air!

Learning our first sight words!

Tapping out the sight words!

Independent reading- looking at pictures, turning pages, pointing to words and letters!

Here are the letters that have been introduced: c o a d g m l h t i j k p u
