Five for Friday!

Check out our week!

1. These are our "Tally Flowers"!  My kiddos were still having trouble with crossing the fifth tally, so I made these "Tally Flowers" and made up a story that a big gust of wind always makes the fifth tally fall across the rest of the flowers.  Of course the other four tallies support their fallen friend.  It worked because we are all crossing our fifth tally now!

2.  To finish up our insect unit I made butterfly cutout cookies!  We made the frosting orange, decorated, and enjoyed!

3.  We started doing a little bit on farm this week too!  One of those themes I wanted to fit in, but never knew when!  Here is a fun beginning and ending sheet we did!  Which can be found here!

4.  We named our greater than and less than alligator Snappy!  Everyone got to make a Snappy and use number cards to show greater than and less than!

5.  We had our last science lab of the year this week!  The kiddos did sink and float.  They had a blast!  The tables and kids were all wet, but if it isn't messy it can't be that much fun! ;)

Don't forget to link up your week! :)

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!?

 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!

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.
