We're back...

I bought myself a present after Christmas this year.  A Flip Video camera.  I love it!

I used it today for the first time in the classroom.  Check out the kiddos counting by 5s.  I'm so proud of them.


(I'm not sure why the quality is so poor.  It looked great on my computer before I uploaded it.  Sorry!)

Pumpkin Patch

Sorry for the delay in posting!  Time has gotten away from me and I'm behind.  You will see several new posts in the next few days.  Enjoy!!

We went to the Pumpkin Patch in Lafayette a few weeks ago.  We pet several different animals, shelled corn, picked out a pumpkin, rode the train, had a snack, and played on the INFLATABLES!  They were probably the kiddos favorite thing there. haha.  Here are several pictures to capture the day.

What family do I belong in??

The kiddos created houses to hold their number families.  They split into groups, some on their own, and created a house.  Then, we got together as a group and decided where each number should live.  This is a way I'm hoping will help the kiddos understand the numbers past 10!  Please encourage recognition of these numbers.  You can create your own small houses on paper and write numbers on small pieces of paper.  Example: Start with just the teens and 20 family.  Say where does this number go?  Then, move onto the higher numbers.  

*A key point is for them to recognize that all teen numbers begin with a 1, all of the 20 family begin with a 2, and so on.  

He chose to work alone:)  Mr. Independent!

Don't worry...I will post the Pumpkin Patch pictures soon.  I took way too many and need to sort through them:0

Stop, Drop, and Roll

We were surprised to see a female firefighter.  They loved her!

I had to capture this picture with his sunglasses on.  How adorable!

They sleep upside down...

 BATS!!!!!

The kiddos are going "batty" over bats this Fall season.  I thought the bats turned out so cute:)

Fall Festival

Our Fall Festival turned out to be successful!  From our booth to all of the fun activities that were offered, the kiddos definitely enjoyed.  Thank you to all who participated in helping with our booth!  We really appreciate your support and love for our class and school!!  Here are a few pictures...enjoy:)

This was my Willow House booth I sat up at the Fall Festival.  I enjoyed meeting people as well as seeing all the kiddos!  The candy corn was very popular at my booth:)

Thank you so much, Hayden, for all of your hard work in making our booth happen.  

I thought our booth was one of the cutest ones there!

My husband actually made this tree for our booth.  I thought it turned out well!

Book Buddies

Every year we have book buddies from 3rd grade who come read to our Kindergarten classes.  Last week I decided to take some pictures.  They are so sweet.  My class really enjoys their buddy coming in to read to them.  They get so quiet and think it's such a big deal.  Too cute!

Hopefully I didn't miss anyone!
