I decided that it is a new year and a new me! My goal is to blog at least once a week, if I can get better then I will shoot for more!
The year of 2015 brought many ups and downs and crazy in betweens, and so far 2016 has been a whirl wind! I am looking forward to what the rest of this year brings! As I began to think about this year I made many goals for myself, one being taking more time to do what I love.
I have been connected in the teacher blogging world for a while now, but have not yet embraced my own blog! This is the start to a new me, as a continue to grow as an educator!
Throughout the month of January a few things we have been focusing on are: snow, arctic animals, and the story of the mitten. The students have been creating some great snow projects but one of my favorites are their snow globes.
Before the students made their own snow globes we brainstormed what we would do if we lived in a snow globe, boy did they come up with some pretty creative ideas. I think my favorite one is " I would say WHOOOPEE!"
Once we finished brainstorming the ideas they were able to begin making their snow globes. I had taken their picture as if they were in the snow prior to this day so they were able to have these ready to go once their snow globe was finished!
This past week was one of the craziest weeks yet in my teaching career. Even being a short week it felt like a century long. The students were all giddy and wild about having a short week….and let me tell you I think having the planets align is worse than a full moon! They were crazy!
Even among all the craziness in kindergarten this week, we still were able to celebrate MLK day and truly dig into some great conversations, 5 & 6 year olds can get pretty deep when talking about these things! They really began to realize that it is ok to be different, and that we are all alike on the inside. Their conversations amongst each other were priceless.
The students were able to share with one another what their dreams were.
We recorded these dreams in a bubble with a self-portrait.
The students also did a directed cutting project of Dr. Martin Luther King, that had their own flair to it . They turned out pretty stinking cute!
Heres to a new week this next week, and to many blog posts to come! In the future I will make sure the pictures are a little better quality, but hey you have to start somewhere!
Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed!
