TEETH!

You can't see it but Eileen lost a tooth at school today!  She was nervous but excited even though she's lost one before.  Now all the kids want to loose one at school!  Nurse Twyla better stock up on those tooth necklaces!

The Big Orange Splot!

Hello!!!!  Today our color was orange. 

We read the book The Big Orange Splot and talked about colors and houses that we would want.    After we got done reading we were going to draw houses the same and then add our blots and color.  But I decided that I wanted to know what the students "dream" house would look like!  We had lots of fun and made our own "street" of houses on the white board. 

I have some very talented students!!!!  Can't wait to see how their creativity makes our class full of life!  Hope you all keep your dreams in mind and keep moving towards them!   Ms. Mills

Color Days

Wow!  It is almost the beginning of a new school week and I am still exhausted!  I hope that your student was able to catch up on their sleep!  This week could feel long!

Here is my crew on Blue Day!!! 

Their shining faces on yellow day was great!  First long day of the year!  We made it through and no one fell asleep!!!!  Tomorrow is ORANGE day!!  Hope you had a great weekend!

Until another color, Miss Mills

Red Day

Well as you can guess today was RED day!  We did lots of activities with the color red and also the circle shape!  Here is a photo!

Day 1 - Kindergarten Craziness!

Hello!!!!  I would like to welcome my new viewers!!  If you have taken a look at last year's posts you can see we have a lot of work to do to be ready for 1st grade but I know we can do it!

Our first day was a little crazy.  We had lots of kids running around, the breakfast line was a mile long, and we got out of school early!  Thank you to all of the parents who let me know where their student was going after school!  This makes things sooo much easier!  Here are some photos of my NEW classroom and then all but two students who weren't at school today!!! 

This is the view from the door as well as our new addition... the turtles!  The kids love these two critters!

This is a picture of our math center, housekeeping center and lastly the library.  The students seemed to love the housekeeping center because of the endless possibilities! 

Here is the picture of our first PWIM poster.  We will be starting to label it tomorrow on Red Day.  I will be posting more PWIM activities as soon as we start doing them!!!

Welcome to Kinder 2011!

I have pictures of students and our room coming soon!  Here is a link to a blog that the students will be doing later on.  This will be a good way to see progress your student is making with their writing!
