We're up and running!


Today was the first day of kindergarten, so no we are going full throttle. We have a wonderful group this year and we are off to a great start.

**Our annual fishing trip with Mr. B will be on Tuesday September 14. We will be leaving around 9:30 and returning around 1:30.**

I'm going to try posting more pictures this year. However, not including anyone's faces...so we'll see how that goes.

One piece of our classroom is the use of technology to engage the students. Here is a picture of one example. This is 'The Phonics Dance' powerpoint that I have created so that we can do the chant everyday with the use of visuals. It is projected onto the white board and the audio runs over the classroom speakers. Once they get it down we'll be dancing our way through the alphabet.

Could you tell me more bout this powerpoint? Is this something you created based on the chants from the manual? Or is this something your can purchase from the creators? I am currently working on my ECE Masters degree and was just introduced to this concept. It sounds like a fun way to teach phonics!

I love our TEAM!
