Here are a few YouTube book read aloud we did this week.
The students sometimes like a change of voice.

We measured ourselves with pumpkins.
These kiddos are getting GREAT at number recognition.

FINE MOTOR FRIDAYS call for tearing paper!! Fine motor skills help with pencil grip and using scissors. We've got to build those finger muscles up!

Putting our names in order is sometimes a challenge.
We've been doing a lot of that lately. Practice, practice, practice.

We did a lot of pumpkin investigating.
First we predicted whether or not our pumpkin would sink or float.

Then we opened up a pumpkin, looked inside, felt inside,
and picked out all the "yucky" filling.

Last we made a SHAPE JACK-O-LANTERN.
We are always practicing some sort of skill.

The Smart Board is always a hit. We ordered numbers 1-10.
Each student had a turn ordering a number on the pumpkin vine.

We measured ourselves with APPLES!!

We predicted how many seeds we'd find inside the apple.
We have some good guessers.

We taste tested red, green, and yellow apples this week. Then we chose our favorite.

I'm sure you've heard your kids singing this song.
This is the read aloud that we listened to several times throughout the week.

We started the week by finding the 1st letter of our name.
We went on a "letter hunt".

We counted out coconuts on the Smart Board. Each student rolled a dice and then counted that many coconuts. As a class we helped.

We are really focusing on writing our names this year. Part of being Kindergarten ready is being able to write your name.

Look at Elias go!! >>>>>>>>

We made YUMMY coconut trees.
While we assembled them, we reviewed our shapes and colors.

Each class counted the number of letters in their name.
Then we compared who had the most letters.

Pete the Cat

Oh how I LOVE Pete the Cat books. The kids really get into them.
They have catchy lines and songs that go along with each book.

After reading "Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Button," we charted if we were wearing buttons or not. Some of the students had never heard of a button.

"Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes", is a fun story. After reading it we charted our favorite color then colored our own shoes to add to our silly pictures.

"Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses is my FAVORITE of all the Pete the Cat books. It's got such a good message with the story. You don't need MAGIC sunglasses to make the blues go away, you just need to see things in a whole new way.
