Wow! It's been a long time! School is finally out and summer is here! I said good-bye to my K sweeties last Thursday. Our school had K graduation at our new fine arts center and it was the sweetest thing. Here are pictures of some of our ocean/beach fun we had the last couple weeks of school.
ending sounds sunglasses
flip-flop rhymes...in case you're wondering...I ran 12 on color and 12 on white...a colored flip-flop matched a rhyme on a white flip-flop...I did this so they would not just match up the two colors and not try to rhyme...I wanted them to actually "know" the rhyme.
counting to 30
octopus addition book
paper plate crabs...idea from Kim Jordano
paper plate killer whales...Kim Jordano
TLC style shark with fact
Whale fact books...idea from Kim Jordano

Julie, I love your ideas as usual. You have inspired me to try my hand at creating some of my own. I just can't seem to come up with the ideas that you do. If you are interested I would send you some of mine. However, I would love to have a copy of your ocean unit. I have received some of your other units and love them. I have yet to donate to your donors choose, as soon as you have another project up I would be more than willing to do that, your units are worth it!! Thanks so much.

I love all of these fun beach activities! I've been teaching my incoming kinders how to count by ten's in summer school and we're doing some fun farm activities, so I used your neat idea with the hundreds fish to "put their ducks in a row". I'm listing it on my blog with a link to yours.
ReplyDeleteYou can find me at kindergardenscholars.blogspot.com
Your stuff is awesome!
Thanks Jennifer! I'm glad you like the ocean things and thanks for posting my blog on yours! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! I've bookmarked your site and am really grateful for all the work you've put into the blog. You are truly an inspiring teacher.

ReplyDeleteLove your ideas!! Would love to have copies as I start school next week and I would need to get busy making these things as I am doing a flip flop theme to start the year in kindergarten, but many of the activities can be adapted for the little ones!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Sandra slcashes@embarqmail.com
