I am hoping that all of you did as well. After the year I had last year, I am looking forward to this year. I know that God has many blessings coming my way! I was so happy that I was able to go to the National Kindergarten Conf. in Las Vegas this summer. What a blast! I can not wait to put these ideas to use. Every year (this is my 8th year) i wonder how everyone starts the year. What do you teach first? Does anyone have a calendar that shows how they teach letters words etc? Our kindergarten has one, but you know sometimes you need a change....... Thanks in advance :)</span>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08851550047495515512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708043008220623492.post-7474743002629244062012-02-01T13:45:00.000-05:002012-02-01T13:45:24.577-05:00Dinosaurs and Underwear Oh My!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTJLw5axTe4M3xcfRMTIrMbBgkwKqqPAvSx3HzyqlWRQeOWDC5Wvleb0Hd9jXptTv887VvIi3-OODrcsXj_YpF2D6JwckekmZbvKl6gMcqYVKouKjmeOsmbv1O_9Llj-YUiAMJ9fbgc7c/s1600/DSC00199.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTJLw5axTe4M3xcfRMTIrMbBgkwKqqPAvSx3HzyqlWRQeOWDC5Wvleb0Hd9jXptTv887VvIi3-OODrcsXj_YpF2D6JwckekmZbvKl6gMcqYVKouKjmeOsmbv1O_9Llj-YUiAMJ9fbgc7c/s320/DSC00199.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div><br />

So far we have read many stories about dinosaurs, but our favorite was <u>Dinosaurs Love Underpants</u>. You know anything about underwear is way to funny for these kiddos. Anywho, we are making the cutest dang dinosaurs you ever did see to go along with the story, and then we are writing our favorite part of the story. Shhhhh our dinosaur eggs are about ready to hatch! I can not wait for the children to crack their eggs open and then find their baby dinosaur. :) Pictures will follow later this week! In the meantime here is the recipe to make dinosaur eggs. Have a great rest of the day! <br />
What You Need: 2 1/2 cups of Flour<br />
2 1/2 cups of dirt (I use red dirt)<br />
1 Cup of Sand<br />
1 1/2 cups of salt<br />
water<br />
small plastic toy dinosaurs<br />
Hammer ( I don't use a hammer we crack them open on sidewalk)<br />
<br />
What You Do: <br />
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together. (flour, dirt, salt, sand)<br />
2. Gradually stir in enough water so the mix holds together.<br />
3. Shape the dough around the plastic dinosaurs in the form of an egg.<br />
4. Give the eggs up to 4 days to dry.<br />
5. Let the kids find them and crack them open. :)<br />
6. I rotate mine around so they dry on all sides.Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08851550047495515512noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708043008220623492.post-8443705593351178792012-01-20T13:50:00.001-05:002012-01-20T13:52:56.405-05:00A Fresh New Start<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok I'm back! Happy to say that my life has finally smoothed out. Thank goodness. For those of you that keep up with me, I lost my step-daddy to cancer back in October. He was such a great man and it was very tough watching the disease slowly take him from us. I also am recently divorced. It was a very tough year for me in 2011, but 2012 has brought nothing but blessings. God has a plan for each of us and I am watching his special plan for me unfold one chapter at a time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now, SCHOOL!! We have been so busy! Guided reading groups are going strong, and centers have never been so organized and easy for the children to manipulate thanks to <a href="http://mrsleeskinderkids.blogspot.com/">Julie Lee</a>! I absolutely love her center activities and I can't wait for the new ones. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We are learning about dinosaurs next week. I will be posting pictures of our dinosaur eggs and other projects very soon! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Thanks for sharing all your great ideas as well! :)</span>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08851550047495515512noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708043008220623492.post-85980914873713682592011-09-26T16:11:00.000-04:002011-09-26T16:11:21.269-04:00Wow! It has been too long away from here! I have been struggling through life, but the Lord has picked up my burdens and he now carries them for me. I am so excited to say that a very dear friend to me has joined my kindergarten team. She and I are gonna be working to get some great center packets ready for sale in our TPT store!! I will also be posting some classroom pictures very soon! <br />

The list is typed with all the titles of the books I have available for them to take home. I check off each day what book they get, and they read and parents signs the paper and sends back the following day. I switch the books around and send home again. It is sooo quick, and I can see who is reading and who is not. If the child does not read it I send it home again. The kids get a variety of books this way and the parents are held accountable for listening or reading with their child each night!! What do you do??? Link up at </span><a href="http://time4kindergarten.blogspot.com/2011/06/take-home-readers-linky-party.html"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Time 4 Kindergarten</span></a><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">. </span>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08851550047495515512noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708043008220623492.post-16311952780820369322011-06-21T18:34:00.001-04:002011-06-21T18:37:08.985-04:00<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This year I am really wanting to put more emphasis on math. I don't have many math centers and so my goal is to work on building them up. One game that I do already have is my math tubes. They are wonderful and my kids love them. I bought some of the soda bottle tubes from Steve Spangler. You can find them </span><a href="http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/test-tubes"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">here</span></a><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">. They DO NOT break! YAY!! I then took small manipulatives such as erasers and put different amounts in each tube. The children can open the tube and then count the manipulatives and match them to the right number cards. (this is just one example.)They then place the manipulatives back in the tube. They absolutely love this game. If you wanted you could put water in the tubes with manipaultives and have them count without oppening the tube. (just make sure you E-6000 so it does not leak) They really love this too! You can add oils and waters for color mixing, letters and matching sound manipulatives, different textures, etc. The posibbilities are endless! Sorry I don't have a picture to share. :( My computer got a crazt terrible virus and crashed, and I have to pack everything up at school. i hope you can visualize! :) </span><br />

Calendar Wall<br />
<br />
I am linking up with <a href="http://oceansoffirstgradefun.blogspot.com/">Oceans of First Grade Fun</a>. <br />
I have both a Promethean Board and a Calendar wall. I think it would be fantastic to have all the calendar activities and math wall activities all on the Promethean board. I think that if you did that you would still need to have a math/calendar wall. The children will not be able to look at the board all day, bc it will not always be up. They can refer to the wall if they need too. I don't know about you, but our technology does not always work either. Just some ideas to think about! Good Luck and whatever you decide will be great!<br />

It has been so fun getting to blog hop and check out all the amazing blogs! You gals and guys are some great inspiration. I have gotten so many great ideas to start off next year. I am also working on some units for my TPT store. :) I also wanted to say thank you to all my followers. I remember the first time I posted on my blog. I was so sad because I had no followers, and now I am almost at 50. I want to celebrate in increments of 50! So when I reach 50 followers I will be having a giveaway!! So find a friend and follow me!!! Thanks again for sharing all your great ideas! <br />

I need some new ideas to start off a great new year,<br />
<br />
My favorite thing that I started just this year was the calendar notebooks. They were fantastic! The kids really seemed to enjoy calendar time and everything it was about. They also seemed to do much better on the math assessments. <br />
<br />
I also loved the fact that our school district is now starting writer's workshop! Whew, we are now caught up with the rest of the teaching world! <br />
