Fire Safety Week among other things…

September 28, 2014 by Tamara

Looking for ideas on teaching #firesafety content to littles, check out this post!

Happy Sunday to you all! 🙂
I am back with another installment of
Hosted by DeeDee Wills of Mrs. Wills’ Kindergarten.
This past week was so full!
I handed out my first progress reports this week and had a slew of conferences.Our team weights our grades, so I prepared this progress report for my kids.  My teammates liked it too, so I personalized it for them! 🙂

We celebrated our reading goals with a popsicle party!

I created tickets for each student who was eligible, and I laminated them so we can use them next year.  One of my teammates had an adorable Pumba hat!  She ended up collecting all of our tickets so the kids could get their popsicles!  I’ve drafted her to wear it every time and collect tickets because it was so fun! 🙂  I printed them on yellow paper and they came out super nice!

As far as content…Last week, I taught my students all about different sports that you can play with your friends.  We focused our writing with one of my favorite writing packs! 🙂
Want to check this out on TPT?  Click HERE.
 I also got to teach character lessons with my brand new conflict resolution unit! 🙂  One of my favorite books for character ed is Yelly Kelly.  It’s like a modern spin on The Boy Who Cried Wolf.  I’ve blogged about it before.  If you want to check out some free ideas for this book, click HERE.
I got this amazing feedback from Meredith over at Creativity to the Core this week!  I’m tellin’ ya…if you like the Good Citizen Pack…you will LOVE this one! Thank you Meredith! 😉 Love ya!! 🙂
This week, we are in our sixth week out of six in the basal.  Instead of teaching the review lessons, I’ve decided to use my Fire! Fire! Unit! 🙂
I use two anchor texts…one literary, and one informational. Click on the images below to pick them up from Amazon!
We sing every day in my room…so, of course, I have to share a ‘seasonal song’ with you! 🙂 My kids LOVE this song for Fire Safety Studies!  We sing it EVERY YEAR! 🙂
Click HERE to try the song on You Tube!
Next up, visual plans!
