What do you want to be when you grow up?

This week we read different books about jobs people can have. In our journals the kids wrote about what they would like to be when they grow up. Here are a few I thought everyone might like to see...
 
 
 
Firefighter

 
Another firefighter!

 
Police officer

 
Veterinarian  (so cute!)

 
Painter
 

 
This is one of the books we read from our reading curriculum this week.
 
 
We also spent time wrapping up our apple unit this week. We made these super cute Johnny Appleseed people, read more apple books, and finished apple centers.

 
We practiced listening for beginning sounds in words. We played this spinner game together. Spin the spinner and color the apple with the letter you hear at the beginning of the word. They kids did great!
 
The following pictures are from centers this week. This first center, kids had to match the tree to the apple. The tree has the number word and the apple shows the numeral. Kids had to find the word on their paper, color the apple to match, and write the numeral. Kinda tricky;)
 
 
This next center, kids read the color word and found it on their paper. Then they had to color the apple to match and write the word.

 
How many apples? Count the apples on the apple tree and write the number.

 
Trace the sight word, stamp it, and then write it by yourself.

 
This next center will continue each week throughout the year. These are our ABC Journals. We started our letter of the week last week, with M. In our journals we practiced writing the letter M, drew a moose, and made a moose with a capital M. Next week we will be doing S!

 
So far, our sight words include the following:
 
I
the
and
like
 
This week we will add the word "see." Please practice these words at home with your kids. We will be doing assessment for report cards this week and kids need to be able to read these words fluently. By the end of kindergarten we will have over 80 sight words! WOW!
 
Hope you all had a great weekend! Darci
