Hey All... Well needless to say I totally and completely ignored my poor little blog as the year came to a close. Many apologizes and I applaud those of you who kept it up even amidst the craziest of the end of school. You Rock!! So much happened after March--a week in Peru with my sister, cousin and grandparents, parent conferences, accreditation, graduation and then immediately following the last day of school I spent an amazing two weeks in Spain. Lots happening :) Now that things have settled down a bit I have every intention to returning to the blogging world...We'll see... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I leave you with a hodge podge of things we did--Some of these came from other blogs and Pinterest, but I can't remember which, I apologize...If it looks familiar let me know so I can give credite where credit is due..</div>

For the parents, we make handprint ornaments... I took a picture of the front and then deleted it.. [fail] but I got the idea from <a href="http://www.littlegiraffes.com/">Little Giraffes</a> so if you visit them you can see it... Basically the kids make their handprint on the ornament and then it is decorated to look like snowmen... Adorable..

[Not sure if that's spelled correctly or even a word, but that's how they make me feel!] But this week, that's what we have been learning all about... Since the week is not yet over I don't have all my pictures to share but I wanted to share an activity page with you with a Spider theme... At my school we use the ABeka program so these are the first five letters we focus on... The kids trace the letter in the web and then color the spider with the matchin lowercase letter...<br />

Haha... We got taste of fall last week and today but word on the street is that sometime next week we will be back in the 90's... I mean I love living in So. Cal., but sometimes it would be nice to actually enjoy all four seasons...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Which leads me to my next point...This week we began learning about Fall & Leaves which is so fun, except when your little darlings are having trouble grasping this season when they are wearing shorts and all the leaves on the yard are still <span style="color: lime;">GREEN</span>! We even went on a leaf hunt to look for some colorful leaves but instead came back with green leaves... But we still had a good time and are looking forward to our next theme...SPIDERS! I love this theme--it is truly one of my favorites...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So while we had a ball learning about leaves.. I took ZERO pictures {sad face}, but I will list some of the activities we did and post a <u>freebie</u> at the end...Yay!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">1. We played with our "Fall Feely Box".. basically a small cardboard box that I decorated with brown paper and colorful leaves, and filled with some fall items like pumpkins, gourds, pinecones, and leaves... These were some home decorations I picked up at Wal-Mart one year and they've lasted awhile... We pass the box around the circle, the kids close their eyes and stick in their hands and pull out a fall surprise..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">2. We Q-Tip painted leaves using the colors of fall...these are now hanging in my room...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">3. We read Leaf Man and created collages using the leaves we found on our leaf hunt...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">4. We painted trees and added orange, yellow, and green tissue paper for leaves...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">That was the extent of Fall & Leaves, but we'll come back to it in a few weeks when we talk about pumkins and Harvest... Now to the moment you've been waiting for... There is a new blog out there <a href="http://www.classroomfreebies.com/">Classroom Freebies</a> where teachers can post FREE resources for other teachers... a whole collection of free stuff!

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I finally took pictures of our other All About Me projects and some Apple things we worked on...<br />
<br />
These are self portraits of the kids...They added their selected hair color and added eyes, a nose and mouth... Then after we read <u>A my name is Alice</u>... we did an extented writing activity... I think they turned out S-U-P-E-R adorable... These are definitely going in their portfolios..</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCHvOTueWAk0qWv0-VRsMM2-HSM3M-umZ6I-FskrtGCqNqyxl4QRRj-CcMra1D-N-syusk6cMF-1VK4PG5JQpWdj4LHN44dqqZCzT-vLefU8nuOOQkxhrQ9v_lc7Y8Gh5QvRBb6Zdn8ts/s1600/IMG_6763.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCHvOTueWAk0qWv0-VRsMM2-HSM3M-umZ6I-FskrtGCqNqyxl4QRRj-CcMra1D-N-syusk6cMF-1VK4PG5JQpWdj4LHN44dqqZCzT-vLefU8nuOOQkxhrQ9v_lc7Y8Gh5QvRBb6Zdn8ts/s320/IMG_6763.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfdE9CG9phZrLLLqLd-qvqSzKr_Tn92Po_tXyErUbp7h0L3QxD5kiVtTOVMjRyed6RXATbFI70sv3GWPZZtDxfcQI71s6hudh7iMdNIlGBHA4FgFJwxzXvGcIasDUM8nbM5F8i7DjVv_8/s1600/IMG_6764.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfdE9CG9phZrLLLqLd-qvqSzKr_Tn92Po_tXyErUbp7h0L3QxD5kiVtTOVMjRyed6RXATbFI70sv3GWPZZtDxfcQI71s6hudh7iMdNIlGBHA4FgFJwxzXvGcIasDUM8nbM5F8i7DjVv_8/s320/IMG_6764.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Okay, I think I've covered all the All About Me things... On to Apples!<br />
<br />
So some of the books we read were<br />
-Apple Trouble<br />
-Johnny Appleseed<br />
-Apples and Autumn<br />
-Ten Apples on Top<br />
-Up! Up! Up! It's Apple Pickin' Time<br />
-A Day at the Apple Orchard<br />
-Big Red Apple<br />
-Little Mouse and the Big Apple<br />
<br />
Apple Themes are so fun and there is so much to do out there! We used to do two weeks but now we're down to just one so we gotta pack it all in...<br />
<br />
On Monday, we tasted apples and completed our graph... We also completed our Apple Investigation page which I snagged over at <a href="http://mrsleeskinderkids.blogspot.com/search?q=freebie">Julie Lee's blog</a>... It was awesome and the kids had a great time... Well anytime food is involved they're excited...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEQlJCA0avSDmt-hg-u8CmOkz7gJf2ebVxtdH_EqZTMPGFsd_O2BMnnreistuCCRjyusHHSY1UK3CtX7TKR7vbXLzAdrlngFbRvmStDWn89AcXm5PNJb8LNlg7hO_Qihko_e-BygNfwvk/s1600/IMG_6767.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEQlJCA0avSDmt-hg-u8CmOkz7gJf2ebVxtdH_EqZTMPGFsd_O2BMnnreistuCCRjyusHHSY1UK3CtX7TKR7vbXLzAdrlngFbRvmStDWn89AcXm5PNJb8LNlg7hO_Qihko_e-BygNfwvk/s320/IMG_6767.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
After tasting apples we wrote sentences using "juicy" words to describe apples...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2xZMB6ycb_8lgnGHJDFoz_F88_N4FiP5i-qJSvWXlIu57O9db3gVBBO1fLirhMyswLL4BFgxV9sTxnBd3ugPuXL6u69DwaOn327U8XrK-4thqglxGBDm000HvnkLD7x4vP8eflADe4ts/s1600/IMG_6765.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2xZMB6ycb_8lgnGHJDFoz_F88_N4FiP5i-qJSvWXlIu57O9db3gVBBO1fLirhMyswLL4BFgxV9sTxnBd3ugPuXL6u69DwaOn327U8XrK-4thqglxGBDm000HvnkLD7x4vP8eflADe4ts/s320/IMG_6765.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is not the best picture-I thought I had a better one but here are the stained glass apples... I think I loved this the best--they came out fabulous!! We also painted paper plates into apples and added the phrase "Apple of my Eye" don't know where pictures of thos are either..haha</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnMtDnFZO1-_6cU2cRi_to1lu5p_kE69mjBGbRj0s41UrDTSHBKS3FYmvDuyLQia9pmhw-sIm8o5G8YTOt1WYzgA_Rf9YVjdHPxn9DNSF-xWcARw3v7TnTUV2qfg3upCqoo0mF1A_9_vw/s1600/IMG_6774.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnMtDnFZO1-_6cU2cRi_to1lu5p_kE69mjBGbRj0s41UrDTSHBKS3FYmvDuyLQia9pmhw-sIm8o5G8YTOt1WYzgA_Rf9YVjdHPxn9DNSF-xWcARw3v7TnTUV2qfg3upCqoo0mF1A_9_vw/s320/IMG_6774.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I saw this anchor chart on Cara Carroll's fantastic blog <a href="http://thefirstgradeparade.blogspot.com/search/label/apples">The First Grade Parade</a>... She has a ton a great ideas... I know she teaches first grade, but a lot of her activities can be adapted to meet the needs of my kids, such as this chart to teach the parts of an apple... It was so cute, whenever they had an apple for lunch they would label the parts...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDAx-xPnPaECqAPSxPzOZJCCvuJvsbKKc4Ztf4zlrLqwn5ibei8JgBtqVDENz2KiMGDsUR_V9K2Kx2uQNyeiqUbkipAOksvqGFebp8hgAEuVE7HsMsFxqTJiefq3LTjxiayTHGC0PWlWU/s1600/IMG_6775.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDAx-xPnPaECqAPSxPzOZJCCvuJvsbKKc4Ztf4zlrLqwn5ibei8JgBtqVDENz2KiMGDsUR_V9K2Kx2uQNyeiqUbkipAOksvqGFebp8hgAEuVE7HsMsFxqTJiefq3LTjxiayTHGC0PWlWU/s320/IMG_6775.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
We also used these sequencing cards [also found at The First Grade Parade] to learn how apples grow...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEC4gL1h2TCnzevbAKtVyUEd-fbDXfZRAURggP1BZNeGkKXOoxOIZ2YTzYI1v8nk8SHM7W7PX51Ay4LaCgGZEpxJK_RmLU2iv7BM8Fqe-Vle6zMTL6BgPYc1hJ51SEhjTwJGBGRYm4knw/s1600/IMG_6777.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEC4gL1h2TCnzevbAKtVyUEd-fbDXfZRAURggP1BZNeGkKXOoxOIZ2YTzYI1v8nk8SHM7W7PX51Ay4LaCgGZEpxJK_RmLU2iv7BM8Fqe-Vle6zMTL6BgPYc1hJ51SEhjTwJGBGRYm4knw/s320/IMG_6777.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also did a pocket chart poem that I found somewhere online [which is another picture I can't find..Ugh!] but here is what is said</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is apple happy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is apple sad.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is apple sleeping.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is apple mad.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is apple in pieces small.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But in pie he's best of all.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">[I added die cuts of apples with the appropriate expressions... the kids do this as a center]</div><br />
And finally, we did an apple themed beginning sounds activity I found over at <a href="http://kinder-pond.blogspot.com/">Kindergarten Hoppenings</a>... Shannon has some awesome things to do with your class!<br />
<br />
Next week we're on to Fall so I'll be back with those updates next week! I hope that you find these activities and projects helpful and I would love if you would follow my blog. <br />

Although it does make me want to stay in my jammies with a good book and some hot tea! <div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anywho, last week The Fantastic Frogs continued with <u>All About Me</u> week, but alas I forgot to take pictures of all the fun stuff we did... I will take them tomorrow and add them to my next post about <u>Apples</u>...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So next week we are going to be learning all about apples...Some of the fun things we have planned include tasting apples, graphing, stained glass apples, painting apples, making torn apples, interactive reading and writing about apples and an apple experiment involving apples and lemon juice... These are just a few of the things we have going on... Even though we haven't started our apple week yet I wanted to share a few freebies with you...To get your copy just click on the picture...<br />

This is a number correspondence activity...

It's been a whirlwind adventure....My class is a good group of kids and I'm sure this year will be a blast!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">The first [and second] week of school have come and gone and they were filled with rules, procedures, fun and of course some tears... but things are going well and the kids are getting into the routine of being in school... In fact, I wanted to share with you some of the activities we did last week for <u>All About Me</u>... I gathered these ideas from various blogs and websites... I know some came from <a href="http://www.pre-kpages.com/">Pre-K Pages</a> or <a href="http://www.prekinders.com/">PreKinders</a>, but I can't remember the others! So if you recognize something please let me know so I can give credit--Thanks!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also made a few graphs and charts to look at data about our favorite colors and the number of letters in our name... During our Reading/Writing time I had the kids place the Post-it with their name above their favorite color...I handed the kids a piece of paper with their names and they had to count and glue their under the correct number...

So here it is... During the summer I began reading <u>Literacy Beginnings</u> (Gay Su Pinnell and Irene C. Fountas), as part of a blog study, and got some really great ideas to enhance the learning in my class...</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">One of the suggestions was to include Letter Books to the classroom library, small groups or circle time as children become more familiar with letters, sounds and names, and letter relationships. These Letter Books focus on one letter allowing children to develop alphabetic knowledge, begining phonics, and early concepts of print. In the text, the authors give examples of where these letter books can be found but since I don't have access to those at the moment I created a few using the model mentioned by the authors. I have only done a few of the vowels based on the scope and sequence of the curriculum we use at my school. As the year progresses I will make more avaliable until the whole alphabet is done! </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is what the "A" book looks like (the others are the same format)</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYZi3SH9yWJ5I7Jfnqv5eOSHxSN0MgU4X9amw7eIpO8gZXFEUKs-l8Zyw0Jsp8FlsEoHwtIm9fGcMAxJV7MNzsP-OOuFW3KNGV3VkvsOp968DddshJfkDmL3EYlsLWg2IafUpgCcJqhWk/s1600/A.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYZi3SH9yWJ5I7Jfnqv5eOSHxSN0MgU4X9amw7eIpO8gZXFEUKs-l8Zyw0Jsp8FlsEoHwtIm9fGcMAxJV7MNzsP-OOuFW3KNGV3VkvsOp968DddshJfkDmL3EYlsLWg2IafUpgCcJqhWk/s1600/A.png" /></a></div><br />

I also wanted to include some number cards that I made. My classroom theme is the Fantastic Frogs and I wanted number cards to use during calendar time that reflected my theme so... these were born...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
