How can they be getting ready to go to 1st Grade soon?  Since I do not have children of my own, I have grown to take so much pride, pour all my love, dedication, and time into my class.  I am confident in my abilities to teach, but every teacher looks back at the end of the year and says, “WOW, I really taught my students how to…”  fill in that blank.  In Kindergarten, you are teaching anything from social skills to letters and sounds to reading.  I love that my students have reached their potential with my help.

Below are some things we did this year:

• Literacy Centers

• Math Centers

• Phonics Games (jumping out letters and sounds like the game of hopscotch!)

• Learning our: Letters & Sounds, rhyming, blending phonemes, blending word parts, beginning sound, ending sound, middle sound, deleting initial sound, deleting final sound… And the list goes on and on

• Numbers Egg Hunt, Eye Spy, and Where’s My Bear (A numbers game)

• Science Experiments

• We made our own Piñatas!

• We have become sounder – outers, readers, and writers.

• We are ready for 1st Grade!
