The First Days of Kindergarten!

Here is our class on the first day of Kindergarten! Well, actually their second, because the first 3 days we stagger their entrance so we have smaller class sizes to learn the new rules and routines. I think this is mostly for the teachers :) but I am very grateful!

The pictures below are from our staggered days. We colored, painted, played in centers, on the computers, and made ladybug cookies! How much fun!

 We painted a monster after reading about "The Monster Who Came to School." The monster didn't know any rules and acted like a MONSTER! We are working hard to learn our rules so we don't act like monsters :)

This activity is one of my favorites! I introduce them to the document camera and projector (they find it quite amazing!) and I give directions on how to make a ladybug cookie. - Spread the icing, put on the eyes, put on the dots! This shows me who can follow directions, and they don't even know I'm testing them! They all did a great job, by the way!

And of course we had to figure out how we get home! We learned about graphs as we shared our ways to get home.
