I love bringing the magic of the season into the classroom. One of my favorite themes to teach is reindeer. I pull out all my reindeer books (fiction and non fiction). After reading the books at the end of the week we make a Venn diagram about fantasy reindeer and real reindeer. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBywFavbeCRwEiDf3_nRCGwOZrVC2_oHb7S9wIJWfKt-_A0ygJ26znGZ_CTR4qclquPKRd1jf97QidcROMLK6ZGPZNWjN3KHQxX-7dEYFbtruQiWmRSA0mYXBbdBtOzTrauK0NofN8zkIJ9NwhWSmr-WMwaaaql2P86wSCUA-Xo8R1vbprEMo6jAyaaes/s3893/IMG_8477.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2642" data-original-width="3893" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBywFavbeCRwEiDf3_nRCGwOZrVC2_oHb7S9wIJWfKt-_A0ygJ26znGZ_CTR4qclquPKRd1jf97QidcROMLK6ZGPZNWjN3KHQxX-7dEYFbtruQiWmRSA0mYXBbdBtOzTrauK0NofN8zkIJ9NwhWSmr-WMwaaaql2P86wSCUA-Xo8R1vbprEMo6jAyaaes/w400-h271/IMG_8477.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another fun thing to do with all the books you read is to make a reindeer tree map.

In kindergarten our first science unit is all about learning how scientists study the world around them. We are learning to ask questions about science, make observations, share information, and solve problems. We also learn all about the tools used to make observations, to measure, and to record information. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I send a letter home to parents introducing the new science unit and we read <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/What-Science-Rebecca-Kai-Dotlich/dp/1250079497" target="_blank">What Is Science?</a></i></div>

Aaaarrgghh, Spider! is a cute book about a spider that tries to convince his chosen family that he makes a great pet but just ends up frightening the family. Here is a fun <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Spider-Mini-Unit-163579" target="_blank">book companion</a> for after reading the story. We did a math survey: Do you think a spider will make a good pet? Then we made these fun spider headbands. I had the kids illustrate the characters and setting. </div>

We read many nonfiction books, including this one, to learn how spiders differ from insects, how they catch their food, what they eat, and where they live. We marked the marked the pages that we wanted to return to with a WOW sticky note. </div>

Here are two different ways you can organize all your new learning after reading spider books. We made a circle map and a tree map. These learning maps help us write spider facts to add to the giant spider web. Gail Gibbons is my very favorite author for any nonfiction unit study. </div>

They love adding poems to their journal and rereading their favorites! There are so many benefits to children reading poetry. Poetry encourages children to read, builds phonemic awareness and builds essential skills like rhyming, vocabulary, fluency, expression, and writing. I rounded up all the poems I use in a school year and put them all in one place.<br />

We loved bringing The Snowy Day to life with this <a href="https://www.lakeshorelearning.com/products/p/EE634" target="_blank">story telling kit from Lakeshore</a>. We practiced retelling the events that happened in the story again and again. One of my literacy stations is filled with story telling kits from books I have read aloud to them.</div>

Then we made text-to-self connections about what we would do on a snowy day. The art project turned out so cute! Once they finished drawing themselves in the snow they added the snow and snowbank using their finger tips. </div>

I found fake snow in the Target dollar spot and thought it would be perfect for a Snowy Day sensory tub. The students had to pick a mitten, read the word, identify the word part, and put it in the correct snow man.

Teaching kindergarten in December is a lot of fun! Every year I do a gingerbread theme that integrates literacy, math, and science. We read all the versions of The Gingerbread Man and chart the story elements. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1zoc5VKRRyM/XXKrCwXOucI/AAAAAAAALmM/7D6-YRly6I4cPWNpXUPW0W7c9DoLo6whgCLcBGAs/s1600/ACS_0392.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1zoc5VKRRyM/XXKrCwXOucI/AAAAAAAALmM/7D6-YRly6I4cPWNpXUPW0W7c9DoLo6whgCLcBGAs/s400/ACS_0392.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also do a fun science experiment by putting the Gingerbread Man in water and observing the dissolving process. You could also extend this experiment by putting The Gingerbread Man in other liquids like milk, oil, juice, soda. I wonder what would happen? Only one way to find out. Test it! </div>

Morning work can be anything that the students can do successfully and independently. This can be independent reading, playing with play-doh, morning tubs, finishing work from the previous afternoon, journal writing, or a quick skill review. We do this for 20-30 minutes.<br />

Then I grab my big pencil and the kiddos know it is time for <b>handwriting</b>. We have a super short mini lesson on the carpet. I use the big pencil to "skywrite" the letter formations we are learning. Following the mini lesson I set my timer for 10 minutes and start circulating around the room as the students work in their Handwriting Without Tears workbook.<br />

As soon as the timer goes off it is time for <b>Calendar math</b>. I use Every Day Counts: Calendar Math.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Up next is <b>shared reading</b>. We spend 10 minutes each day doing shared reading. This can be a big book, enlarged poem, or song. We revisit the same book/poem over multiple days while working on a different skill each time we read it.<br />
<br />
After a little brain break we move right into <b>reading workshop. </b>I use the units of study by Lucy Calkins. The units of study can be a little overwhelming if you don't know how to unpack the units. I unpacked the first two reading units. You should be able to plan a ten minute mini lesson on a single sticky note. When you are ready to teach the mini lesson all you need to take with you is the post-it note. I summarized each mini lesson for Super Powers unit 2 on a single post-it note. You can grab the unit <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Lucy-Calkins-unit-2-Super-Powers-Study-Guide-4384548" target="_blank">here</a> or by clicking one of the pictures below. This is how I organized my unit using a 1-inch view binder. I put everything I would need to teach each session into a pocket sleeve. It makes me feel organized and makes teaching the units of study so easy.<br />

Effective communication between parents and teachers is key to student success. For me the best way to keep parents informed is to send home a weekly class newsletter. A newsletter helps parents keep track of upcoming school activities and what kids are learning in school. I like to send home a hard copy in take home folders and email a copy to parents. I include a little peek at our week, upcoming dates, the high frequency words we will be learning, important reminders, and our daily specials schedule. </div>

Celebrating Valentine's Day at school is always so much fun! Giving and receiving Valentine's Day Cards is so exciting. Here are some fun valentines for the kids to exchange at school or give to your students. The best part is you only need your printer for these cards and maybe a trip to the grocery store!<br />

We love singing <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Down-By-the-Bay-Rhyming-Activities-2789111" target="_blank">Down By The Bay</a> on repeat and creating our own rhymes. It's so catchy and fun to sing (especially with jazz hands). I created this little song book for my kiddos to create their own rhyme. It's one of their favorite books to read. </div>

Kindergartners grow and develop so much from August to May! Seeing this growth is so rewarding as their teacher. Here is a free activity to do at the beginning of the school year and again at the end of kindergarten. This makes a sweet end of the year keepsake! Kindergarten is such a big year!</div>

We started exploring how objects moved in science. At the beginning of the unit I asked everyone to bring in an object that moves. Then we took turns sharing out how each object moves. Everyone loved showing the toy they brought and how it moved. Then we sorted the objects by how they move. The kids used this venn diagram to record their findings and as a class we used two hula hoops to sort the real life objects. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/How-objects-move-3869660" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/How-objects-move-3869660" border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KZb9Z_xoCmA/WzrqWWcpf2I/AAAAAAAALMs/EcgbJgfEWM0pB_0mBObj-ZB73hossAJAgCLcBGAs/s400/Slide11.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we talked about the ways objects move. We learned that they can move quickly or slowly, in a straight or jagged line, backward or forward, upward or downward, or in circles. We made these anchor charts for all the ways objects can move.</div>

We also discussed how objects can move fast and slow. We sorted the pictures and made this anchor chart. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Motion-Push-Pull-Amazing-Science/dp/1404803483/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530589129&sr=8-1&keywords=motion+book" target="_blank">Motion: Push and Pull, Fast and Slow</a> is a great book to add to your unit. We read it before sorting the objects.<br />

I'm so excited to watch the Olympics! I plan to bring all the fun to my classroom as we learn all about the Winter Games. Figure skating is my absolute favorite sport to watch during the Olympics. I thought it would be fun to learn about some of the athletes competing and write about them. I saved all the pages to make an Olympic athlete biography book. </div>

We learned all about Olympic athlete qualities and used the traits we brainstormed to fill in this cute list poem. These poems in our poetry journals turned out so cute!<br />

We discussed the summer games and the winter games and talked about how they are the same and how they are different. We brainstormed on post it notes and then added the post it notes to the venn diagram. </div>

We had so much fun learning all about plants! I just love this spring time unit. Here are some of the things we did in our plant unit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We read all about roots and seeds with these books from Pebble Books. Then we recorded all of our new learning and added it to our anchor chart. </div>

We read the funny book Tops and Bottoms about a hare who tricks lazy bear to help his family. We followed up with this craft. We first painted the sky and soil and then added the veggies!<br />

We learned about what plants need to survive and followed up with this activity in our interactive notebook. They used words and pictures to tell what plants need. <br />

After learning what plans need to survive we planted our own seeds! The kids loved painting the pots and drawing the labels. <br />

We made a pollination flip book with puppets. While reading the story we used the puppets to act out pollinating the flowers.<br />

Before our plant unit I presented our big science question to the kids. They were researching why do we need bees. We read lots of non fiction books and watched a few videos from Brain pop Jr. and then recorded what we learned. Sometimes I leave the I wonder section blank and let the kids come up with their own question to research. <br />

After reading lots of non fiction books we discovered how important dirt is. We brainstormed what it would be like without dirt. We added this to our interactive notebook. </div>
