After the students arrived, checked folders for notes, put down their chairs, did their attendance and found a spot on the carpet, we warmed up with a few songs. Of course "Freeze Dance" was requested. We also learned the song "Song Shut Them." This song helps get the students calm and quiet before we go on with our calendar, which is led by a student 'teacher assistant' that changes each week.
We did our math warm up with the number parade. We also have been using the smartboard to count to our targeted number, which is the number of days we have been in school; 6.
Some students got to share the scenes they worked on yesterday. We talked about how we will continue making scenes so we can make our own Anno's Counting Book. We then repeated the math lesson from tuesday, working on visualizing numbers and forming them in different ways. We finished our math work with learning the rhyme "One-Two-Buckle-My-Shoe!" ...seeing where else we use numbers in our lives.
We took our last class bathroom break. Now that the boys and girls are getting used to their surroundings they will be venturing to the bathroom with a buddy when needed :)
We are working on our own class, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" book. The students colored the page with their picture on it. I hope to make it a traveling class book, taking turns sending it home with each student.
We wrapped up our day by finishing odds and ends in order for all the students to get to take part in Fun Friday tomorrow. The Kindergarteners worked on unfinished work and if they finished, they did a cutting, gluing, and counting activity.
We did a quick smartboard counting lesson and then started the book "Daisy Head Mayzie." Before we knew it, it was goodbye time!
