It has been a little over a week since the school year started and we have had inservice, parent orientation, and the first 3 days of school. I don't know if it is because I have been doing all of this for quite some time now ( 13 years) or because I am older and wiser, but everything is just falling into place and flowing so smoothly. </span></div>

We start 4K with 3 staggered days where we have 6-7 of our friends come each of those days to help them get acclimated to the classroom and all of their new friends. I like to make things as fun and inviting the first day because I want them to see school as a fun place that they will want to come back to each and everyday . We started off our day coloring a few back to school pictures, playing fun get to know you games, and we made super cute first day of school hats.</div>

One of my favorite stories for the beginning of the year is The Kissing Hand which is about a little raccoon named Chester who is scared to go to school. This story gives us the opportunity to talk about how we all felt the first day of school. After reading our story everyone worked to make their very own Chester the raccoon to help them remember that school is a fun place to be. </div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This week we learned all about the letter Y. You might be wondering what roundabout way we used to connect the letter Y and camping, but I assure it is quite simple. Yawn is one of the y words we learned about and when you yawn it is typically nighttime unless you are a mommy with a child going through a sleep regression then you are probably yawning all day, but I digress. So back to yawning and the letter Y. You typically yawn at night and nighttime is the perfect time to go camping hence the letter Y camping connection. </span></div>

We started off our week talking about thins you might bring with you when you go camping like a pack, a sleeping bag, hiking boots, and a lantern or flashlight. One thing I "forgot" to bring was a pair of binoculars so we made our own binoculars and what is the point of binoculars unless you can use them and what better way to use them than going on a nature scavenger hunt. </div>

One more thing we needed to make sure we had for our camping trip was a campfire. The most important thing you need to have to build a campfire are some rocks and some branches. Each friend searched all over the room to find one of each and once they returned to the carpet we worked together to build our campfire. </div>

We talked about many of the different creatures we would see while camping and one of the most beautiful is the lightning bug. We talked about the different forms of light God created for us, but nothing is more beautiful than this beautiful natural light. We watched a video of lightening bugs in a park and read The Very Lonely Lightening Bug. Next we created our very own lightening bugs to add to our camping mural.</div>

Friday was the big day for our camping week because you can't talk about camping and not have a camp out and you can't have a camp out without pajamas so we had a big ole 4K Pajama party complete with smore cupcakes made by one of our amazing mamas! We started off our camp out by reviewing all of the different forms of light God created for us and we read the story of Jesus healing the blind man. We made candles to help remind us that Jesus is the light that leads us.</div>

This year we decided to introduce our students to the wonderful world of Sight Words. Since they will be jumping right in to this once they start kindergarten we thought it would be fun to go ahead and introduce them to this skill so they won't get too overwhelmed. I know that we are still working on identifying letters and their sounds, but it doesn't hurt that they will at least see these words before they are expected to know them. The kindergarten class uses popcorn words so we decided it would be cute to start with popcorn kernels. We will be working on 2-3 sight words every 2 weeks and I am happy to report that our popcorn kernel words have already been a great success and my friends are loving telling me the password each morning!<br />

This week we learned all about our 5 Senses and the letter X. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What better way to learn about our senses than to play some games that used each one. We used our sense of sight and played Eye Spy. We used our sense of hearing and played a game where we had to guess what was making each sound inside our mystery box. We used or sense of taste when we tasted sweet, salty, and sour foods. We used our sense of smell when we smelled 4 different cups and decided what was in each one. </div>

This week we learned all about our feelings. We learned that it is ok to feel all kinds of feelings like happy, sad, and mad, but the choices we make when we feel these feelings are very important. We learned learned how to breath (smell the flower) and relax (blow out the candle) if we are ever feeling mad and need to calm down to make sure we make good choices. <br />
<br />
We started off our week meeting Mr. H<br />

Well we officially survived the first full week of school. I am already so excited about this school year and we have barely even started. First I have to brag on my class a little bit because they are absolutely precious! They are so sweet and so well behaved that they make it easy to love them already. I am always excited about the first week of school because I get to know all of my students a little better and I get a jump start on assessing everyone so I can have a better starting point of how I can best tailor my lesson plans to make sure I am working on each and every single students level. You may think this is impossible with 22 students, but it is a skill any teacher can develop with lots of multitasking and a little creativity. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We kicked off our first week of school meeting a new friend who helped us learn all about the different parts of our bodies. If you haven't met him yet his name is Mat Man and he is a really useful guy. Since we are learning all about ourselves this week we will be drawing some self portraits and Mat Man wanted to make sure everyone wasn't leaving out any important parts like an arm or a foot. Throughout the school year our friends will draw several self portraits so we can look back and see what they have learned and how their skills have grown. You will be so amazed how all of our skills develop and change from month to month. I actually think that is my favorite part about being a teacher, well that and all of the sweet hugs! I love getting to be there when a friend has been working on a skill and they have that </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On Tuesday we learned about something that makes each and everyone of us special! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Names!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started off the day by playing a really fun game and a new song. Each week when we learn a new letter we will sing a song called If Your Name begins with <u>(The Letter)</u> Please Stand Up and whoever has a name that begins with our letter of the week gets to stand up and tell us about their name and their letter. On this day instead of just singing about 1 letter we sang our song and each time I would lay out colorful cards with our friends letters on and if I called their letter they would come up and get their card. Everyone did an awesome recognizing their letter and we had a blast singing our song. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After we learned everyone's letter we watched a story called Chrysanthemum all about a little
mouse who had a very long name. We learned how our words can hurt our
friends hearts and that no matter if we have the same name or a
different name we are all special because God made us exactly how he
wants us to be. After watching the story everyone practiced tracing the
letters in their names and then we counted how many letters were in them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Wednesday we read the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. This is such a fun book to introduce all of the letters and my friends loved getting to yell Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. After finishing our story everyone made their very own Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree, but their coconuts had letters on them and the letters spelt out their names. Everyone worked to spell out their names with their coconuts and then they counted how many letters were in their name and we transcribed the number. </div>

On Friday we read a story of St. Theresa and how God used the stars to create spell out her name. St. Theresa knew it was God speaking to her and she knew God loved her. We talked about how God speaks to us and tells us he loves us everyday and how we can talk to God by praying to him each and everyday. Everyone decorated a beautiful star just like God used to spell St. Theresa's name.</div>

This week for jobs we worked on a few different projects. Our first job was to decorate the first letter by using our fingers to peel off stickers and place them all over the first letter of our name.</div>

Since this was our first week of jobs I we decided to take it easy and only rotate through 4 different activities so on Friday we completed our very first journal page. Since we have been learning all about ourselves and our names all week we decided to continue the trend with some more name letter tracing and one more picture of our cute selves. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I know it is that time again because I have been relaxing on the couch all day. This is unheard of in my house on a Saturday! Usually I spend this day running, cooking, cleaning, </span>and<span style="font-family: inherit;"> doing anything I can think of not to sit still. The best part is the students haven't even started yet! This year we wanted to revamp a few areas in the classroom and make it even more colorful and bright and I am pretty happy with how everything turned out. Most of my pictures are pretty blurry, but in my defense I took them on Friday after cutting, cleaning, and crafting all week. Plus my phone is a cracked piece of junk and only had 12% charge. If I am a good girl I am hoping Santa will bring me a new camera for Christmas (Hint Hint Brent!) I will try to take some better pictures on Monday after the kiddos leave for their half day. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We redid our classroom schedule to include some of our new classroom activities like morning journals and word work/sight word time. I found <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Schedule-Cards-The-First-Grade-Parade-298601">this </a>free printable which helped make things so much easier in this weary time crunched teacher. It didn't include exactly every single thing I needed so I am still working on a few pieces for our morning work time and our word work time. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another big change was to our sign in chart. This is a wonderful visual for is to see who is and isn't at school and it also helps when we have students pulled from the classroom for different activities like playing and working in the angel classroom. I am actually going to change the bottom space to something other than "Angel Room" because we have a few friends who attend other activities so I would like it to be a more general label so I know who is where at all times. When the students enter the classroom they will find the clip with their name on it and move it to the green square labeled "In". After they use the potty after lunchtime they will move their clip back to the "Out" space. This helps is keep track of who has and hasn't used to restroom which is very useful when you are trying to clean up after lunch while answering 22 individual questions am requests while also trying to make sure you have eyes on all 22 babies at all times!</span></div>

Some of you may or may not know that tomorrow we are celebrating the life of a dear friend that we lost last year. If you are new to our school this year I am saddened that you never got to meet Mrs. Cathy. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Mrs. Cathy and I began working together in 2010 and I still am not sure if she knew what she was getting herself into when she signed up to move to 4K with me. I have been so fortunate to have gotten the chance to teach with 3 amazing women during my time at Holy Rosary and I am so thankful I can call each and everyone of them dear friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It still doesn't feel like a year has gone by since I saw my friend and it saddens me that this class of babies never knew her. I am also saddened that she never got to fulfill her dream of working with the Angel Program. I know she is with us everyday, but that doesn't make missing her any easier. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please say a prayer for our little classroom and our school tomorrow iand never forget to cherish everyday you have on this Earth because it goes by way to fast. </div>

We had such a good time celebrating memorial Day this year. I wanted the kiddos to really understand why we lived in such a great country and some of the symbols and people they should know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started off our week looking at a Smart Board presentation all about symbols of the United States. The first symbol we learned about was one we know very well since we say our Pledge of Allegiance every morning while our morning helper holds up the flag. The students were told the only supplies they could use were their fingers and glue to make the pieces of their flag. Tearing paper is a huge fine motor skill and helps develop the muscles necessary to hold writing utensils and write so we have been working on this skill a lot lately. We want those little fingers as strong as possible to make beautiful letters.</div>

We learned that the Bald Eagle is the national bird of the U.S.A. They aren't really bald, but the white on their head makes it look like it is (the kiddos got a kick out of this. We used our fingers again to tear the paper for baldies head and we also worked on tracing our hands and cutting them out. Tracing will be a skill we continue to work on the next few weeks. </div>

We added in the numbers 11-15 and used the numbers 1-15 to build a log cabin like Abraham Lincoln lived in when he was a boy. Next year we will be using popsicle sticks instead of cutting out the strips. This was one of those disastrous activities that are super cute and awesomely educational in theory, but completing them makes you want to run your nails down a chalkboard. The paper was to thin, the strips were to small and the numbers kept getting cut off, and we will never use paper again to complete this activity. I am sorry I put my babies through the horror of this activity and the flimsiest paper known tom man! </div>

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Since I am still a few weeks behind on my posts I am using nap time to blog instead of clean the pots and pans in the sink right now. I have been home with the girl these past 2 days because she is sick and I finally have a moment to catch up.<br />
<br />
This week was more of a fun work week. My babies work so hard everyday that sometimes they just need a break to have some fun. Since we had already started working on our Valentine's Day Bear Boxes we didn't have to rush to get those done.<br />

I think everyone had a great time based on the sugar coma's at nap time.<br />

I also want to share the cute Valentine's Day gift I sent home with the babies and if I remember later I will add the awesome heart crayon Mrs. Douglas gave out. I wish I had gotten a picture of the cute packaging she sent them in. I wanted to do something fun, but not edible and full of sugar and when I found <a href="http://www.trishabdesigns.com/2012/02/class-valentines-bubbles.html">This </a>cute printable I was sold. I had originally wanted to do tiny play doh's, but couldn't find them anywhere and when I came across these tiny bubbles I was done.<br />

We actually started off our week learning about a cute little guy called the groundhog. Fun fact! Did you know another name for the groundhog is a woodchuck. I love that I am still learning new thins everyday and if I am excited about learning I know my babies will also be excited. Groundhog's Day actually occurred on Sunday so I already knew what the outcome of Punxatawny Phil's day in the sun was, but I wanted to see what the babies thought had happened. We decided to graph our guess if he did or did not see his shadow, but we needed something to graph so we had everyone make their own Groundhog/Woodchuck out of hearts since Valentines Day was approaching. </div>

On Tuesday we read The jolly Postman and learned all about the different types of letters/mail. We learned all about addressing and writing letters and then we decided it would be even more fun to make mailboxes to hang up in our classroom for our friends to send us mail in to. After we designed and hung up our mailboxes each friend drew a name from a hat and they had to write a letter to the friend whose name they drew. We learned that when writing a letter you wrote To and that friends name and From and your name. Before we could deliver our letters everyone made a mail carrier hat and then they used the name they drew to match to the mailbox of that friend and deliver the letter they wrote.</div>

I wanted to find some way to help my friends understand all of the different places we lived (planet, continent, country, state, city, school) and I found this cute activity on Pinterest. Sadly I could not locate a link, but I love how it turned out. We went through all of the different places we live and then each student cut out the colored circles and we went through 1 by one adding them to our rings. We started with the Earth because that is the planet we live on. Then we added North America because that is the continent we live on. In North America we live in the United States of America. In the United States not all of our class lives in Tennessee so we used the State that our school is in. In Tennessee our school is located in the city of Memphis. In Memphis we are located in our school. All of these are such difficult abstract concepts, but I feel like this was one of the easiest and best hands on way I have found to teach such little people this concept.</div>

One activity we worked on all week was a little something fun since Valentine's Day was coming up the next week. We wanted to make sure everyone had something to take home all of their goodies in. One of my room moms came sent me a few links of cute ideas but <a href="http://teachittoday.blogspot.com/2013/02/adorable-valentines-day-card-holder.html">This </a>one was my favorite. I loved it because it allowed each student to be creative and it had an element of Earth Friendliness because we were reusing milk jugs.<br />

My friends favorite thing this week was of course having mailboxes they could create things and stuff them into for their friends. We left our mailboxes up for a few weeks until they all started falling off of the wall and with everything else falling down everyday we decided to go ahead and send them home to be hung up.</div>

I am behind on a few weeks of posts and since my lesson plan for next week I thought I would do a little catching up today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So let's go a few weeks back and talk about one of my favorite Author/Illustrators Mr. Eric Carle. We started off our week by talking about why God made everything in the world different, why he made us different, and how boring the world would be if everything and everyone all looked the same. To help illustrate this t we watched a video of the book The Mixed-Up Chameleon. The poor chameleon wanted to be like the other animals, but in the end he got all mixed up and realized he was better off just looking like himself. After watching the story everyone created their own mixed up chameleon by placing colorful squares of tissue paper all over a piece of tracing paper and when the paper was covered they cut out the outline of a chameleon and put all of the different pieces together.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
On Tuesday we started working on a brand new skill called ordinal counting or ordinal numbers. This includes first, second, third, etc. We read the story <u>10 Little Rubber Ducks</u> and as a class we worked on coloring in fishies based on the ordinal position I gave. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Wednesday we continued working on ordinal numbers and we colored in a choo choo train based on the ordinal position I gave.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday was a very special day for us because it just so happened to be the <a href="http://insaneintheprekbrain.blogspot.com/2014/01/100-days-smarter.html">100th Day of School</a>. </div>

Friday was another special day because we were celebrating Grandparent's Day! This day start off with 3K and 4K singing songs to their Grandparent's/Special Friends, then everyone gets to enjoy a special treat, followed up by a grand tour of the classrooms. I was so proud of my friends for singing so nice and for showing off our little classroom.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since this week was full of 100th Day parties and Grandparent Musicals we did not do jobs as we typically do. Instead of each table completing a different task we all completed the same things at the same time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now that we have learned all about animals that we can see in our zoo we wanted to learn where many of these animals come from. We already learned that Panda bears live in the jungles of China and many of the other animals we can see in the zoo like tigers and monkeys also live in the jungle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This week we learned all about the different layers of the jungle and some of the beautiful yet poisonous plants and animals that live there. Did you know there is a plant that eats bugs and the jungle is home to another flower the size of a large dog and it smells like rotten meat?!?!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After learning about the different parts if the jungle everyone got to test their knowledge by creating and correctly labeling their own jungle. All of my friends did an awesome job matching the words on the board to their labels and placing them in the correct position on their jungles.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrXaa4zf-9qPs23doY1gNaT2f96Ag7Zrr-b6j8ShENfClLSSozjN1HiokgpZDt_YmaRP5NJ5zISF89h7NO2CKy4DFUdcRm2G2j8btlxSmKNkQVnNOY51evaQx8zjpSbX2W-PD_7wFyzXho/s640/blogger-image--1013927070.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrXaa4zf-9qPs23doY1gNaT2f96Ag7Zrr-b6j8ShENfClLSSozjN1HiokgpZDt_YmaRP5NJ5zISF89h7NO2CKy4DFUdcRm2G2j8btlxSmKNkQVnNOY51evaQx8zjpSbX2W-PD_7wFyzXho/s640/blogger-image--1013927070.jpg" /></a></span></div>

This week we went on an adventure to the zoo and boy did we have fun! </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly 4k doesn't actually get to go anywhere for field trips, but that doesn't mean we can't use our imaginations or bring the field trip to us. Thanks to our super awesome smart board we were able to watch some if the animals live in our own zoo and across the country in other zoos. We saw pandas, polar bears, and we tried to see some grizzly bears but they seemed to be asleep </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think my favorite thing we learned this week was learning about the people who care for the animals called the Zoo Keeper. We learned all about the super cool and kind if dirty work a zoo keeper has to do when we watched a video about a day at work with a zoo keeper. The zookeeper got to feed he animals, wash the animals, and clean up after the animals (yuck!) after watching our video everyone made their own zookeeper to watch over the animals we would be making throughout the week. </div>

We had so much fun learning about bears last week. We learned about Real/Living and Pretend/Nonliving bears. Things that are Real/Alive breath air, eat, and move on their own and things that are Pretend/ Not Alive can't do any of these things.<br />
<br />
What would a week of learning about bears be without Going On A Bear Hunt. We read and acted out the story of the bear hunt and let me tell you we were all worn out after going through the tall tall grass, swimming through the river, trudging through the icky sticky mud, going through the forest and the windy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
On Tuesday we watched a Video of <u>Brown Bear, Brown, Bear What Do You See</u> and then we had to work together to place all of the animals in order of where they were in the story. I believe we got every one of them correct! Afterwards each student made their own Brown Bear and then they had to use their super smart brains to think of something their bear would see.<br />

We learned all about Panda bears on Wednesday. Did you know Panda bears are from China and they love to eat Bambo. We looked at our globe to find our Country and to see how far away China is. We sure are glad we have Panda's in our zoo so we can see them anytime we would like. </div>

We already learned all about Polar Bars when we learned about winter animals. My friends were able to remember a polar bear has black skin and clear fur. Each students used a sponge to paint in the outline of their snow bear and later after everything dried they created their cute little faces.</div>

One Friday since we had learned so much about bears that are alive we wanted to learn about a pretend bear. We read the story of Corduroy a little bear who wanted a home. It was silly reading a story about a pretend bear who could walk and talk since we know he is just a pretend bear and can't really do any of these things, but it sure is fun to pretend.<br />

And on Friday we held our annual Christmas program where we sang some Christmas songs for all of our families. I didn't remember to snap any pictures, but believe me when I tell you my babies were absolutely precious!<br />
<br />
I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL Christmas break!!<br />

A few curious people came to visit us at school the other day! There was a lion, a witch, some beavers, a faun, and some very special sons of Adam and daughters of Eve. </div>

This week we did a little something different and we continued the letter W because we couldn't miss out on learning about Winter Animals. Usually we spend 1 week on each letter but we decided to extend this one since W is such a fascinating letter. We learned about Penguins, Polar Bears and Walrus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again we had another Wild and Crazy week with a the Christmas Program on Wednesday and the Christmas Bazaar and Shop on Friday, but we just rolled with the punches like we always do. Being flexible is one of the skills we are working on down in 4k land so it it important for us teachers to also be flexible. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started off our week by learning a little more about penguins and we learned that most penguins live where it is hot and we learned that Emperor Penguins can be as tall as a 4 year old. We decided to test this and we measured ourselves next to an Emperor Penguin (don't worry it was just a very life like replica I drew with some colored pencils). We decided to use this information to make our very own little penguins.</div>

Fun Fact: Did you know a Polar Bear has black skin and their fur is actually clear?!?! So they actually look a little yellow instead of true white. The snow that surrounds them is what makes them look white. </div>

Now that we are in the season of Advent we needed to do something to help us count down to the special day of Jesus's Birthday. We made Advent Wreaths with the numbers 1-25 on it and each day we write the number or numbers if we need to make up for the weekend and we locate those numbers on our wreath and add the berries on. Everyone has done an awesome job writing their numbers each day and they are so excited to reach the big day! </div>

Holy Moly this has been one of the best birthdays ever!! Besides all of the sweet birthday wishes yesterday I get to school today totally oblivious to all of the amazing secrets everyone was keeping! I still can't believe my babies didn't say a word about the awesome pajama party we were having today. </div>

I know I say every year I can't imagine loving a class as much as I do the previous year, but I guess each new class is like having another child and your heart just makes a little more room for each one. And it isn't just the students who I love but the parents are pretty great themselves. I feel so special and so loved knowing how much effort went into decorating, planning, and putting everything together for little ole me. </div>

I feel like such a dunce because like usual I came into my room like a hurricane this morning and was even more crazy since we were out Friday because of the icepocolipse 2013 and I couldn't remember where I put anything. Thankfully as I was running around Mrs. Nicole made me slow down and notice the amazing decorations one of my amazing room moms had put up. </div>
