Ask me all about Warren School's special tradition!  We put our handprints up on the wall.  Every student and teacher who has ever been here has done it.  And now it is our turn!  
What a special memory!  We each used a different color and we worked carefully so we left a nice, neat print behind.  Next time you are in the school, see if you can find my tiny kindergarten hand!!!
Thank you Mrs. U!!!

We have been having so much fun sharing our writing with our friends!  
We have also been working hard, throughout the day, on our pencil grip!

Ask me all about my friends!  We have been sharing our beautiful All About ME posters all week!  We have learned SO much about each other.  Many of us like the same things!  We also noticed that we like different things.  Our posters are hanging in the hall for everyone to see!  It has been fun to share the things that we love.  
We have also been sharing Life Stories.  We learned that writers & authors write about what they know and love.  We made a list of things that we love to do and places we have been.  Then we wrote our very first stories!!!  We shared them when we were done...tractor pulls, camping, riding in Daddy's truck, cuddling with stuffed friends, and so much more!  We have great ideas to share!

Five Green Speckled Frogs

Ask me all about the letter Ff.  It makes a quiet, lip biting sound.  We pretend that we are Fire breathing dragons with our lips caught on fire.  We gently bit on the lip.  Then to put the fire out, we blew gently with our voice off.  It's so cool!!!
To celebrate the letter Ff we sang and acted out the silly song Five Green Speckled Frogs!  Mrs. Brady turned us into frogs with her magic wand.  Then we took turns jumping into the "pool...where it was nice and cool!"  We laughed and laughed!!!

Ask me all about Mat Man!  Who is he?  How is he made?  What does he look like?
We are using our friend Mat Man to learn about writing and illustrating details.  We built Mat Man together on the floor and then we went outside to draw ourselves!  We traced our bodies to help us see the details that we needed to add.  It was so fun.  We made an Animoto video to show you all about it!!!  Click on the button below to watch it!

Ask me all about tomatoes!!!  Tomatoes starts with Tt!!! They are also the food that Kindergarten is responsible for harvesting this year for our special luncheon!  
Today we went outside and picked as many tomatoes as we could find.  We picked red ones, yellow ones, & orange ones...but not the green ones!  
This afternoon during Learning Centers, one of our stations involved prepping the tomatoes for our Tomato Basil Salad!  We had so much fun helping each other.  But we had to wear aprons and be very careful...tomatoes squirt!!!   Mrs. Wright, you would be SO proud of us!

Ask me all about Texture!  
In Science, we are learning about our Five Senses.  We used our sense of touch today to explore the garden with Mrs. Sweet!  We found things that were rough, smooth, soft, bumpy, and pointy!  Then we went to the Art room and used special tools called texture plates!  We colored with little crayons on the plates.  The textures we made were amazing!

Ask me all about our word of the day!  It is Respect!  During Morning Meeting each day we learn a new important word.  We use Sesame Street podcasts to help us understand the new vocabulary.   We have been using the words Proud, Cooperate, and Concentrate this week.   Today our monster friends taught us about Respect.  All day we have been discuss what Respect looks like.  We have been showing our friends that we can be respectful learners by listening to our teachers and our friends.
Mr. Neik helped us learn about listening and being respectful during PE enrichment today.  We were invited to play special games.  We had to look at each other, use each other's names, follow directions, take turns, and much much more!!!  It was so fun!

Ask me all about the alphabet!  I know that all letters make a sound (some even make two!)  Today we sang a fun song about letter sounds!  We used alphabet puzzles to help us practice and we also played a fun game called Picking Popcorn.  (We are working on the letter Pp!)  We picked a piece of popcorn and named the letter and the sound that it makes.  Then we matched it on the board!  We had so much fun!!!
We also spent some time curled up in the classroom library reading books!  We talked about the cover, title page, and pictures!  We are becoming great readers!

Ask me all about our morning!  It started out in a very exciting way!  We had a special visitor...a hummingbird flew in our room!  We stayed in the hallway while our heroes (Mr. Hibbert, Mr. Scott, & Mrs. Yarrish) rescued the little bird.  
After our exciting morning we worked hard at Literacy & Math Stations, we shared our summer pictures, and we had fun outside on the playground!  What a busy day!
