It's Been Busy!

Hello! It's been a busy few weeks....we did our second MAP test, celebrated the 100th day of kindergarten, had Kindergarten Round Up, and now parent teacher conferences are just a week away! Thought I just share a few random activities we've been working on in the classroom...
This is a caterpillar sight word game. The children start with all of the pieces turned over, so they cannot see the words. (They start with one caterpillar head face up.) They take turns turning over the words and adding them to the caterpillar. If they turn over a new head, they start another caterpillar. After all the words are read, they see which caterpillar is the longest.
We did the 100 Mystery Picture on the 100th day...always a fun activity! And, as seen on Pinterest, I created a "100 Days Smarter" frame:
The frame is just a photo mat that I found at Hobby Lobby on clearance for under a 1.00! I added precut letters to make it quick and easy.

I've had this cardboard cut out of George Washington for a    l  o  n  g    time!! I took each child's picture and then they wrote "If I were President of the United States...." Fun!

Lastly, here's a picture of our QR code center called "Scan and Read." The basket has QR codes with the color words (that I blogged about previously) and some word families that I downloaded (see the link in that post also).

Thanks for checking in on my little corner of the kindergarten world! Have a great weekend!
