Reading, Writing, and Bats!

We have been very busy in our Kindergarten classroom this October.  A big THANK YOU to all the parents who came in to school to visit with me during conferences.  

If your child has been coming home and talking about the Daily Five, here are some examples of Daily Five work in our classroom. 
Listen to Reading
Read to Someone


Read to Self

I am so impressed with the reading and learning going on in our room.  The students work together and help each other very well!  Lots and lots of Bucket Filling going on in here!

Like I shared at conferences, my favorite thing to do in Kindergarten is writing!  I absolutely love seeing the progression from beginning writing of drawing and labeling to more Kindergarten writing of simple sentences.  Below are some examples of the writing I see in our classroom:









I hope the children have been coming home and sharing what we have learned about bats.  Even Mrs. Shriver has learned a few new things!  We made a circle map about the things we learned.


Here is some new information about bats that we learned.  The kids seemed to understand this information better with a visual aid.  Did you know that one bat can eat 600 mosquitoes in one hour?!  I found these bat fact sheets on Pinterest.  I am not sure of the teacher to give credit to, but what a great tool for the kids.
