Five for Friday

It is that time again!  Five for Friday!  We are still in school for a few more weeks!  Check out our week!

1.  We did a fun seashell even and odd number sort.  It is the closest thing I am to a beach at the moment.  Three more weeks, three more weeks, I think I can make it!:)

2.  We have been working on the greater than and less than symbol.  Here I had each kiddo pick two cards and show the correct sign.

3.  We have been exploring measurement and I had the kiddos use a ruler to measure things in the classroom.  This was the easiest thing and my kiddos were loving it!  I had one little girl going around saying, "Can I inch you?"  Inch..., measure..., at least she was excited about it! :)

4. Tens and ones activity!  Roll once for the tens and once for the ones, then create your new number! 

5.  Two of my kiddos spent their free choice time working together to write this sweet note!  So cute!  As much as I am looking forward to summer break, I will miss them!

Now it is your turn to link up and share your week!

Summer Bucket List Linky!

I am linking up with Teri from A Cupcake for the Teacher, Hadar from Miss Kindergarten, and April from A Modern Teacher for their Summer Bucket List linky!  So fun!

Let's see, summer seems so far away.  Our last day of school is June 13th!

1.  The hubby and I never got to go on our honeymoon because he had to travel the week after our wedding for work, so we are planning on going somewhere for our one year in August!  Somewhere that looks like this:

2.  We just found out we are moving schools next year which means I need to prepare, move, and organize a brand new classroom for next year!  I literally pinned this today!

3. Have some fun in the sun with friends!  Spring has barely showed up this year, so I hope summer comes!

Now it is your turn!  What is YOUR summer bucket list!?

Insect Sort

We did a fun insect sort yesterday that I wanted to share with everyone!  I will tell you now that I got it from Shannon's amazing blog!  Seriously, did you check her out yesterday?  If you haven't, please check her out today and search your themes to find some GREAT freebies!

 We started by sorting "Insects" and "Not Insects" as a class!

I closed the group activity by having my kinders color and sort the pictures!

Monday Math Centers

I keep seeing that today was everyone's last Monday of the year or they only have 4 days left.  Well, I have 3 more Mondays!  Check out our math centers this week!  We are still doing bugs and I found a TON of FREE centers from Shannon at Kindergarten Hoppenings!  Seriously, just search any theme and she will have freebies for you!

I created this sheet to use with my number stamps to make addition problems!

Spin and subtract!

Creating patterns using bug cards!

Roll and color-with our Scentos markers!

Spin and graph the insects!  We have two spinning math centers this week! So fun!

Five for Friday-Science Fair Edition!

This week was BUSY!  We had two days of testing and a kindergarten science fair! 

1.  We started our week with science lab!  We have it every other week and this week we used the microscopes or as my kiddos called them "telescopes"!

2.-5.  Check out our Kindergarten Science Fair!  Adorable!  My favorite blogger and friend, Irene, organized it all!  Each kiddo got to pick an experiment and do it at home.  They filled out their hypothesis, materials list, observations, and their conclusions and put it all together on a board!  They turned out great!

 This little one did a lava lamp experiment!  It was a big hit!

Now it is your turn to link up!

We're Going on a Bug Hunt

Summer is here! Ok, maybe just for a couple days this week!  Yesterday was 96 degrees!!  Yes 96!  How does this happen?  I don't know, we don't question it.  I needed to get as much time outside as possible because in MN this nice weather comes and goes!  So, we went on a bug hunt!  I gave each kiddo a clip board and a blank piece of paper, then told them to draw the bugs they see! This was a huge hit!  They were loving it and wanted to stay outside longer.  Once we got back inside we colored our bugs.

Monday Math Centers

I am so excited to finally get to use these centers!  I won Buggin' Out Math from the fabulous Jen, from Jen's Kinder Kids!  My kiddos LOVED them!

Here my kiddos measured the frogs with their fly rulers and recorded it on their recording sheets.

Pick a number and show the number in a ten frame

Counting on!  This was perfect for my kiddos!

We totally needed extra practice with this!  I had them write the number they picked in the middle, then  figured out what was one less and one more.
