Our week has been full of meeting our new alphafriend, learning classroom routines/workshop time and how to be at school, learning our first "Heart" word AND we even had the extra special treat of working with 5th graders AND playing with snakes!
Yes, I said snakes but 1st things first, the 5th graders!
Mrs. Dobson's 5th grade class had an assignment to create a letter book and they were kind enough to come down to our room and share them with us! The alphabet books turned out fabulous and getting the chance to work with brothers, sisters or the "BIG" kids made our afternoon perfect! The best part was finding out that not only did they get to show us their books, they also are going to give them to us to keep in our room! Thank you Mr. Dobson and 5th Graders! You are all amazing and we LOVED having you!!! Hopefully you will get to come and work with us again!!
Now on to those snakes! In our newsletter, I asked you (the parents) to send in old ties that dads might not miss for a project. Well we didn't receive enough for each student but we did have one family donate 25 snakes for our classroom. Thank you Mrs. H!! You are the bestest ever!! Anyways, we didn't have enough for us to make the snakes but my mom so graciously made the 25 ties into "classroom" set of snakes for us to dance and sing with ! Thanks Mom!! We are so appreciative and LOVED playing with them! I couldn't think of a better way to make the /s/ sound with than with an actual little snake that we could hold! Fun, fun times in Kindergarten!
