It was also Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday on Monday. We have been discussing his message with students. We talked about how although we might look different on our skin, we all have hearts, brains, and feelings. We used eggs to show this. The eggs may be different colors on the outside, but inside they are the same.</div>

We also worked on a writing project this week. We were learning about animal body parts, specifically the fish as we read a story called <u>The Rainbow Fish.</u> You can listen to this story, <a href="http://www.storylineonline.net/the-rainbow-fish/">here</a>.<br />

After we read the story, we labeled the parts of the fish. Then we used a graphic organizer to organize what we were going to write about. Our last step was to put our work on fancy paper. They turned out wonderful! It is nice to have a bit of color during this cold January!</div>

Because this week is only two days, I thought I would share some of the activities we did during our Christmas party. We were very lucky to have some extra helpers with our Christmas centers. At this center, students had to use dice to "Roll-A-Christmas Tree". You can find a copy <a href="http://www.littlegiraffes.com/Roll%20a%20Christmas%20tree.pdf">here</a> to play at home.<br />

I thought maybe the kids would be tired from eating all that turkey and shopping. I was wrong! The kids came back ready to learn. Students are beginning to use their popcorn words in their writing.

In math, we were used linking cubes to measure items found in our classroom. At home, students could use paper clips, pasta, or marshmallows to measure.</div>

Today was my first day back after 5 days without seeing the kiddos, literally! It was great to be back, but I must admit, the mountain of work waiting for me was a bit CrAzY!!!! I think I felt all of these emotions at some point today!<br />

I was wondering if my new eyes were deceiving me! Alas, back to school I go! <br />
<br />
We have been learning about teen numbers! They are very tricky for kindergarten students! Some of the things we have been working on is building towers made of linking cubes. This shows the concept of adding one more. At home, you could use Lego's or blocks.<br />

Here are a couple of video's from YouTube. The first one helps explain place value and how each teen number has a group of ten. The last video stresses that all teen numbers begin with one. The tunes are catchy and the kids really enjoy them!</div>

One of the most frequent questions I get from parents is how can I help my child at home with learning letters and sounds. Our school recently adopted a new reading curriculum called Journeys from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and one of the great features of this program is "Alpha Friends." Students learn about characters who are associated with each letter and sound. Use this video to practice at home.<br />
<br />
Parents can also print this sheet that has all the characters and letters. When they recite the sheet, they should say the letter name, the picture, and then the sound. It should sound like this, "a, apple, aaaa." Students can also cut them apart and use as flashcards. Click <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3JintKEmQQ7NzNyNVJhME40UHM/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">here</a> to get a copy.<br />

Welcome to all our new followers this week! This blog is a place to share ideas with other teachers and for parents to see what we're are learning at school. My plan is to post at least once a week. Sometimes I will do more, sometimes it might be too busy of a week. </div>

Today is all about small groups. During this part of our day, students work in small groups which then allows the teacher to better assist students at their individual level. It is my FAVORITE part of the day! At the art center, students are creating a turkey page using feathers to make turkey's and google eyes. Who doesn't love google eyes? Tomorrow, kids will add a writing piece to their art work.</div>

It has been awhile! After much thought, I decided to revive this old blog. Why? I enjoy sharing ideas. I always say that teachers are the best thieves. They can steal an idea and make it work with their own students. I read blogs...a lot! They give me inspiration try new things and revise ideas that didn't go so well. If I can help just one other person...well, then this blog is worth the extra time. </span><br>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Updating this blog isn't my only goal. I also hope to put many of the things I create on Teachers Pay Teachers. Here is my latest creation; <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Weekly-Prep-Checklist-Stay-Organized-Form-928219" target="_blank">Weekly Prep Checklist</a>. This form has helped me stay organized as I always have the next week planned before I leave school on Friday. No more weekends at school! Simply use glance at this form each day for your very own to-do list.</span><br>
