Kindergarten Sight Words Stamp It!

Hi everyone!
This year is flying by! I wanted to get my Kindergarten Sight Word Stamp It! unit out before Black Friday and here is it! Sweet and simple: Trace it, Stamp it, Write it. I use these in my weekly centers and my students love them. I love that it keep them engaged while they are learning their words and is a great addition to the sight word program I have made and am using. My kids are doing a great job this year with their words!

Owls!

This week we learned about owls.

 We made an owl can, have, are chart.

 We used our chart to write about owls. 

 

Grab the writing sheet here!

We also dissected owl pellets this week! The kids had a great time, even though some started out very timid. By the end they were digging through it with their hands! I purchased by owl pellets from www.owlpellet.com.

I bought the mini owl pellets. You get 20 of them for $19.80. I gave one pellet to each pair of students. They worked as partners and had a lot of fun! The pellets come in the mail very quickly, and are very good. They are filled with bones!

 We used toothpicks to pull the fur apart.

We matched the bones we found to the bone chart. This helped keep the kids on track and got them very excited when they could start identifying them.

 We wrote about our findings on our observation chart. You can grab the observation chart for free here.

 

Owls are always fun and I know my kinders went home and told their parents all about the bones they found and what the owls can do, what they are, and what they EAT!

Planting an Apple Tree with Harry Kindergarten!

Way Up High in an Apple Tree - Apple Song for Kids - Children's Song by ...

Apples!!

Every year I do an apple unit. It actually makes fall seem like it's here (even when it's not quite). We learn about the colors of apples, the parts of apples, the seasons of the apple tree, foods that can be made from apples, the life cycle of an apple seed, and what our favorite kind of apple is.

Every year I do a series of activities, with pieces everywhere. This year I decided to put them all into a notebook. I'm calling it My Kindergarten Apple Notebook and it was a BIG hit with my Kinders this week.

Here are some of our activities we did:

 Homemade applesauce 

 We used a tree pattern and apple erasers to act out the song "Way Up High in the Apple Tree"

Apple Tasting and Apple Graphing

My favorite books to read during this unit are: 

I will also share some great videos that we watched about apples.
