Camera Dump, a few new things,a wonder, and a FREEBIE

Well, I finally remembered to grab my camera from school today. I realized once I got home that I still have some pictures on it from this past school year. Here they are:


Here we are flying our paper airplanes. They really got into making paper airplanes the last few days of school, so we had a competition to see whose plane flew the best.





Here are a few pics from our last Guided Art activity. I plan on trying to continue doing Guided Art with kindergarten, just a lot more basic.

 Don't you just love it when you get to put your stamp in a new book? Check out all the "new" books that I got the other day:
Love being thrifty!

And yes, I jumped on the Skippy John Jones band wagon at Kohls!

And, of course, since I have moved to kindergarten I had to get Pete the Cat!

One last picture....
my "Word Garden". I plan to put high frequency words and sight words on this board. You can find a copy of the high frequency word cards that I plan to use for FREE on my TPT store. Be aware that these high frequency cards go with Harcourt Storytown Kindergarten. :)

While I was working in my room today, I had a "wonder" that I was hoping to hear some feedback on from you guys.

How do you organize your bulletin board letters?

I have mine in a big accordion folder and it just doesn't seem to be working very well. I need a new way and I would love to hear what works for you!

 I hope to have more pictures of my classroom by the middle of next week. :)

Everyone have a great weekend!

As promised....

Here are some pictures of our guided art from this week. They did SUCH A GOOD JOB!





I am thinking of doing one this coming week in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday. Maybe Thing 1 or Thing 2? We shall see!

Pot of Gold Guided Art

Today we were able to squeeze in one of my students' favorite things.....Guided Art! Today's topic was St. Patrick's Day and in honor of St. Patty we drew a pot of gold and a rainbow. Check some pictures of the kids hard at work:


 This is my drawing projected onto the board. Try not to laugh too hard at my artistic ability =)
 Such concentration!


I did not have a chance to hang the drawings this afternoon (pageant week!) but as soon as I do I will post pictures of the WONDERFUL drawings.

Guided Art Time!

This year I have been doing guided art classes with my kids. What I do  is I choose a picture from somewhere (usually I just google clip art for whatever subject I am interested in) and we draw the picture together. We did a really cute snowman for December/January (sorry no pictures :( ) and a groundhog for February. I am looking now for a picture to do for March. I am thinking possibly a leprechaun or maybe a rainbow and pot of gold.....Stay tuned to find out!

Such cute little groundhogs! I really do have some talented artists in my class. =)
