It has been awhile!
Wow! I have not posted in quite awhile here. I have been maintaining my school website, but not my blog. I want to catch you up! We have been having an exceptional school year. We are learning so much. Recently, I took some photos of the kids enjoying one of our SmartBoard activities. I found some songs on YouTube from havefunteaching. Here they are:
My class loves these songs!
We have also been enjoying Fun Fridays. This is a time when a child's parent reads the class a book and plans an activity to go along with the book. In essence the parent becomes the teacher. The kids love having the parents come into the classroom. Here are our first two pictures from Fun Fridays:
We had such fun during both of these Fun Fridays.
At the end of September, we celebrated Johnny Appleseed's Birthday! We made hats and I managed to get the kids to stand together long enough for me to snap a photo. Look how cute they were:
Last week was letter S week. We studied the sound and words that begin with the letter S. While doing that we talked about spiders. The kids totally enjoyed it. We wrapped up the week singing an old time favorite "The Itsy Bitsy Spider". I work with some of the best teachers...Mrs. Griffin came up with this cute house picture for the kids to color...then she added a straw and a spider ring so that our spiders could climb up the water spout. She is so smart. Here is my colored copy:
I love working with the other Kindergarten Teachers...they are all so great!
It will be a busy week full of review and report card testing! I can't believe that this 9 weeks is almost over. Gosh, before we know it, it will be Winter Break! WOW! This year is flying!
Love and Hugs!

First Week Complete...Bring on Week Two!!
Hello families and friends...
We have successfully completed the first week of Kindergarten! It was quite a wild week! We learned ways to use our supplies appropriately. We also learned how to walk in the hallway, get home in the afternoon, and go through the lunch line. We discovered where the office, library, lunchroom, and most important the playground are all located at school. I have a wonderful class full of sweet Kindergarteners that are so eager to learn. That excites me for this school year!
Next week, we will be learning about letter A. We will be most interested in apples and ants. We will also begin our new Math series. We will be doing interactive math using our SmartBoard, since our math books have not come in yet.
I can't wait to spend another week with my class!
Love to all!
Ms. Messick
