Miss Doyle’s Kindergarten Class

Each day, our students have the opportunity to visit free choice centers.  Today, I captured some of our friends engaging in our center activities.

Victoria wrote a letter home to Mom and Dad using our magnet letters in the Language Center.

Andrew worked on an animal floor puzzle in the Math Center.

Alize cared for the injured bunny.  She fed her cupcakes and strawberries in the Dramatic Play Center.

James used our bear counters to create a path of destruction in the Math Center.

Our motley crew.

Pirates can read???

Today, Eric decided to practicing popping his popcorn words.  He created is, and, and up using magnet letters in the Language Center.

After a long first week of anticipation, I was finally able to capture our class in its entirety.  Above is our complete class: Alize, Andrew, Drew, Eric, Jackson, James, Johannes, Kate, Sarah, Victoria, and Itsy.  Remember to check back Friday afternoon for pictures and updates from our Pirate Day.

Buckle your seatbelts, because the Magic School Bus has hit the road.  We started off the year with a fun day of getting to know each other.  To begin the day, each student illustrated themselves on their first day.  Be sure and check out our creations on the School Bus outside our door.  The students then created their own classroom rules and were introduced to each of our centers.  After we learned how our centers were used, we chose a center to play in.  Lunch and recess were quite an adventure that left all of us ready for nap time, but, being the big Kindergarteners that we are, we opted for quiet reading before Math.  We finished off our day by searching for friends with our “On the Lookout for New Friends” glasses that we brought home.  Here you can see our first, official Kindergarten picture.

I am so excited to begin our year together as we travel through our units on the Magic School Bus!
