Great websites for kindergarten kids!

Here are some great websites that we use in the classroom to review and extend our learning.




The kids also love taking brain breaks to these songs!


Many students also love Starfall , which is a free website that teaches letters, sounds, sight words, and reading skills. 

Let me know which ones your child likes best! 

BEE Poem

Here is the poem your child will be bringing home tonight to read to you!  Don't forget to check BEE books each night.  THANKS so much!

1st Day Fun!

We had a wonderful 1st Day of Kindergarten! The students read about Chester from The Kissing Hand.  He was a little nervous to go to school and his mom gave him a special reminder to keep with him always.  We learned some of our classroom and school rules.  We made a first day certificate and got to use our new supplies.  We had lunch and recess (always a favorite!).  We also use Magic Playdough to see if we would have a great year.  Luckily, all of our playdough contained a new color so we were very excited.  We went to Art for the first time and met Miss Stegner.  Since we had such a great day we had special Kissing Hand cookies to eat before we got on the bus to go home.  What a busy day!  There will be many more to come!
