I take pictures of each area (csfeteria, library, etc) and people (principal, cafeteria lady, etc.). Then return to the room and review our trip. Later I print out the pictures and have the kids match people to places. I also use the pictures on the daily schedule. Thanks for the opportunity to win. Hope everyone has a great year!

I am in a private school and didn't have any mentors like some public school teachers I know. I plan on reading The Kissing hand and Pete the Cat books. I would love to know how you start out Literacy Stations? Do you do math stations also? <br />Thanks, <br />Tracy<br />tgcrzy4u32gmail.com Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02699527552495635765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6614015546702470292.post-13081662757784831082013-08-04T21:47:20.466-05:002013-08-04T21:47:20.466-05:00I love reading Pete the Cat and doing the scavenge...I love reading Pete the Cat and doing the scavenger hunt!!!<br />Andrea :)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978270798252866446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6614015546702470292.post-66450311340129588062013-08-04T21:31:00.181-05:002013-08-04T21:31:00.181-05:00By the way, I LOVE owls!

So far, no one has hit their neighbor with them! I also have them draw a picture of themselves. Some are very detailed and some still have just a head with arms and legs coming out of it! So cute.

They are in awe of all the supplies and wonderment in "What are we going to do with all this?" Once all the supplies are in their place we talk about just what we are going to do with, how and when we can use all our "learning tools". Then we go back to our cubbies pull out our Journal, and we write (draw) about our new class, new friends, and our new Journey in Kindergarten. Some even make the connection of Journal and Journey, "they sound the same", Love love love the newness everything is to them.. Can't wait, my new kinders will start on the 26th of Aug. emmecjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709712791906413019noreply@blogger.com
