Ahhh!

I'm finding it harder and harder to find time for blogging during these busy months. Our school just got done with parent conferences and I can't believe that Thanksgiving is only a week away! This year is flying by!

I wanted to share with you some of the apps that I have downloaded lately on my iphone. Our kinder team at my school has also put them on our team ipad. We are able to pass the ipad from class to class to use in small groups.

For Reading:
Magic Reading Preschool University (covers blending/segmenting and reading words)
Abatalk Fun Rhyming
Magic Sentences Preschool University
Tic Tac Toe Phonics
Sound Sorting Beginning Sounds
Letter of the Day
Spelling Magic Preschool University

For Math:
Find Sums
10 Frame Fill
Squeeze (Number Line Game)
Number Magic Preschool University

ALL OF THESE WERE FREE APPS!

Go download them! The kids will love them!

Also, in preparation for the upcoming holidays, I posted more things at my teacher store that are great resources for centers or other activities, such as math journals!

Busy week... busier weeks ahead!

I'm sure you are feeling just as busy as I am and it's only going to get worse! Last week, we had something everyday at school, what with Red Ribbon Week, Halloween activities, fall festivals and more!
Our class also had chicks in our room that have been in an incubator and hatched last Tuesday. The kids loved observing them hatch and it was really a great lesson to go through all of the steps of them hatching and why the process is the way it is. 
Oh... did I mention that we also had farm animals come for a petting zoo? Whew! It truly was a crazy busy week!

Here's what my door looked like for Red Ribbon Week.

 I was the (not so) grouchy ladybug for Book Character day at school on Friday!

My son and I at our church's fall festival!

I'm continuing our bats unit this week because our week was so busy last week AND because last week sort of turned into a "chick" unit. :)

I am already thinking ahead though and have begun creating things for Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday)!!




Purchase these and more at my teacher store:
