The Mitten

YAY!!!! What a fun productive week we had!?! This week our theme was Mittens. Our math and literacy centers were mittens, and of course we read The Mitten by Jan Brett and did TONS of fun activities. We also celebrated our 100th day of school on Thursday. OHMIWORD, it is SO hard to believe we are 100 days in (well 101 now) and have only 80ish days to go. Here are a few of the activities that we worked on this week. :) Also, don't forget to check out this OH SO FUN giveaway going on over at Mrs. Bearden's Kindergarten. :) Happy Saturday and may you have a RESTFUL weekend.

You can get all of the above and lots more in my

Mitten, Hats, Scarves, OH MY unit on TPT. :)

Hot Cocoa/Hibernation

It's has been such a "blah" day here. It is rainy and damp which made a PERFECT day to be LAZY and HIBERNATE! Speaking of hibernation...

To go along with our focus letter H our theme this week was hot cocoa and hibernation (2 of my favorite things to do on cold winter days). Check out our week in pics. :)

BRRRR It's Cold so...How about some FREEBIES?! :)

BRRRR. It's cold! I mean it was like 23 degrees here yesterday (Alabama) which doesn't happen very often. So it was very fitting that this week we continued to learn about snowmen and winter. We have also been assessing like crazy to make sure our little darlings are ready for Dibels testing that is in full swing. :) On another note, we gained a student teacher this semester, Ms. Fuller, and let me tell you she has been WONDERFUL this week. It is so AWESOME to have another set of hands. :) Here is our week at a glance. Also, don't forget to check out the freebies at the bottom. :)

I got the Sweater Math Match Up game from Mrs. Lee.

I got this idea from KinderbyKim.

You can snag this snow anchor chart for free in my TPT store. Click HERE!
