Graduation

Graduation Portraits

These portraits come out so cute. I have students stand up with their portrait during our Graduation Ceremony (which is held in our classroom) and tell everyone what they want to be when they grow up!

Sight Words

Sight Words Chart

This visual aide helps students make a connection with the picture and the sight word.

Spring

Spring Bulletin Board

From my co-workers classroom these cute ladybugs made out of paper plates related to Math.

Students practiced symmetry.

Earth Day Bulletin Board

Another board from my co-worker.

Students used blue and green paint. 

Easter

This Easter Basket is made out of a gallon milk jug. Students decorated the Bunny with pipe cleaners for the whiskers, a fuzzy ball nose and goggly eyes. Kids weaved the fence with brown construction paper. We asked parents to donate one bag of grass and one bag of Easter candy.  The Parent Room stuffed the eggs with the candy and taped them shut. Next we put student initials on 10 eggs each. Finally we had a big Easter Egg Hunt on the playground. Kids looked for eggs with their initials but ended up recognizing their friends egg too! In the background you can see a basket from the back view. Kids held the jug by the handle.

Below is an Easter Bunny Cake made out of 2 round pans.

Classroom Library

Classroom Library

This is my 5th year teaching and this past summer I finally sorted my classroom library. Target had these colorful bins in the $2.50 shelves during the Back to School sales.

(Opps the bins in the first picture are actually from Dollar Tree but the rest of them below that are from Target.)

Then I figured out what categories I wanted. I searched the internet for clip art that I wanted to represent each category. When that was decided I started working on my labels. Each book has a mailing label with the same picture that is shown on the bins. This way my kinders will know exactly where to return the books to.

Labels above are:

1. Disney
2. Favorite Characters
3. Songs & Rhymes
4. Berenstain Bears
5. Science
6. Math
7. Character Education
