A Typical Day in our Room

We have mastered the skill of walking down the hallway from buses all by ourselves in a single-file line :)

We come into the room and immediately unpack our folders, homework notebooks, snack, and library books. We have become very responsible students and do not need any help doing this!
Once we are unpacked, we know to sit down in our seats and get started on our morning work. Morning work is an easy task that is a review of what has already been taught in the week. It should take less than 15 minutes to complete.

Some students are able to complete their morning work quickly and are allowed to buddy read on the carpet while we wait for announcements to come on.

Morning announcements.

Our Hoppy Helper, Brooke, leading the way with calendar.



Still doing calendar/circle time.

We always sing our Math songs at the end of calendar. We count by 5s, 10s, and soon to be 2s. We also countdown to blastoff (10 to 0).

Language Arts is next. We were able to incorporate a little science mini-lesson into it as well. Each Monday we do a "pocket pal" that begins with the letter we are studying. Today's pocket pal was a Narwhal. We looked up pictures in google and even watched a 2 minute video on youtube. They are pretty neat creatures!

Continuing with our Nn theme, we made My Nn Book. Our classmate's name is Nevaeh and we drew her in our book!

Around 10:00 each morning we have our snack.

We go straight from snack into centers. This is part of the star center (markers, templates, writing paper).

This is part of math center. The students have an activity to complete first and then they are allowed to play with the toys in their center.

This is ABC center. Each week they have to complete the letter page the corresponds with our letter of the week.

This is Art Center. They are creating bird nests out of the big letter N.

If I am not pulling children to my back table for guided reading, we are practicing sorting our letter sounds.

An action shot of a genius at work :)

We now have TWO students (Taylor and Aiden) that can count to 100!! It's a big deal when you make it to the Lilly pad :) Great counting guys!!!
