Thought it was about time for a little update...this teacher was really happy to turn the calendar page last week and focus on a new month! March started out with a severe stomach flu bug for me (I seriously cannot remember the last time I was that sick- I even missed my favorite day of the year...Dr. Seuss day!! Two sick days off is a first ever in my six year teaching history) and the month ended with a bad sinus infection. I'm pretty sure my little kinder kiddos have learned the art of sharing. :) I guess since it is only my second year in kindergarten it is going to take some time to build up my immunity.
The Wednesday night before Easter I was out driving around and happened to look up in the sky and see a bright beautiful full moon- and it explained a lot!
Enough said.
But spring break was wonderful- I spent lots of time catching up with family and just relaxing. The Tuesday after Easter my mom and I took my younger siblings on a field trip to Washington D.C. It was a beautiful day but pretty crowded in the museums. We walked over five miles and packed as much as we could into the day!
Back to the classroom last week...I decided our dramatic play and science centers needed a little revamping so we turned our dramatic play center into a flower shop! I have a few more additions for this week but my kids loved the new additions on Friday!
(If you want the recording sheet I used, I bought the flower shop dramatic play package HERE. I have this seller's doctor set too and I love the picture cues that makes it easy for my non-readers and ELL's to use too!)
And the new additions to our science center- I have more plans but for now the kids are just sorting seeds and observing the seeds we planted on Friday. We did sunflowers and radishes in upcycled milk gallon jugs (hello Earth Day connection!). I opened the seed packets and glued one of each to the envelope so they can see which seeds go to which plants as they are sorting.
My little sister pulled the "Brown E's" (brownies) trick on me late April Fools night. I really really wanted those brownies too!
Ran an 8:39 minute mile in my 5K this weekend! I'm pretty sure that's my fastest mile ever...so far, that is. ;)
Happy Sunday!
