A wonderful 1st week!

I had a great first week back! My new students are super sweet and are ready to learn! Here are some of the activities they completed this past week!

We read "Un beso en mi mano" (The Kissing Hand). Each of my students shared how they were feeling on the first day of school! They also created Chester and completed a sentence!

 

I also gave them the opportunity to draw/write about their first day. I like to keep this picture and show it to them at the end of the year! I love to see their faces when they realized all the progress they have made.

"Miss Nelson is Missing" is one of my FAVORITE books! I love to use this book to talk about rules and behavior. We also talked about characters, their characteristics and completed a Venn Diagram!

 "La bolsita para conocerte mejor" is a great way to get to know your kiddos! At the beginning of the week, each student received a bag. They need to fill the bag with objects that are important to them and share it with the rest of the class!

It's a great activity, that helps my students get to know each other and established a great connection with their classmates! If you follow my TPT store check your inbox, I sent it as your August FREEBIE!

Have fun!

Labels

Every year I try to have as many labels as I can around my classroom. I like to see my kiddos trying to read the words or recognizing words they already know! It also helps my students build their vocabulary in English & Spanish.

This year I decided to add more to my list, and I ended up with 80 labels in Spanish & 80 labels in English! The last couple of days I've been busy laminating, cutting and putting them up in my class! I am sure my kids are going to have fun reading and writing all these words!

You can find a freebie with some of these labels {HERE}.

1st Day of School Picture Frame

It's not a secret how much I LOVE pictures and frames!  After several days searching for the perfect frame for the 1st day of school, I decided to make my own! It turned out super cute, and to my husband's delight, I only spent less than $5!

I bought 4 stretcher strips at Hobby Lobby. They have different lengths, so you can make your frame the size you want.  I wanted mine small to make it easy for my Kindergartners to handle. I used 11" for the top and the bottom & 14" for the sides!

After I put the four pieces together, I painted them using acrylic paint I had at home.

I let the frame dry for a couple of minutes. It didn't take long. Meanwhile I laminated and cut the letters for the frame.

When I was done cutting the letters, my frame was dry, and I just needed to paste the letter to the frame. (I used hot glue.) 

It took me about an hour to make this frame and it's super cute! Now I can check off one thing from my Back-to-School list! 

If you follow my TPT store, these letters are this month freebie! I included PK-2.  I didn't want to leave any of my Early Childhood friends out!

Have fun making your own frame and post pics of your creations!

Have fun!

Graduation day!

Our last day of school was fabulous! The kids were super excited, because it was also their Graduation Day!

They made a wonderful performance for their parents! I was very proud of how great they did!

After their performance I had a small celebration in my classroom with a surprise for each of them!

They were super happy with their bucket. Each bucket had crayons, markers, a notebook, glue sticks & bubbles!

I had a wonderful school year! Now, I am ready to enjoy the summer with my family!

Have fun!
