All About Me

We worked on these all about me pictures all week long.  The students loved making them! (idea adapted from www.kinderbykim.com)

We focused a lot on name recognition and name writing this week.  For this activity students had to select their name out of a group of names (name recognition) glue the strips on the cloud (glue stick skills) and then state the letters in their name and write their name (with help as needed).  The rainbow names added such a fun touch hanging from the ceiling. 

Texture names.  We talked about how some letters are made of straight lines and some are made of curves.  Students put sticks on all the straight lines and then selected glitter or pipe cleaners (also used for some straight lines if requested)  for the curved part of the letters in their name.  They love looking up at these names and trying to find their name and their friends name. 

Week 3: Red, Yellow and Blue

Dressing up during music time. Humpty, The Horse and The Kings Man


For the literacy center we pre made crayons with each students name on it and cut it into a puzzle. The students had to put the puzzle together and then got to practice taping it together. This was their favorite part.

For science we placed white daisies in water. We added red, yellow and blue food coloring and predicted what would happen.

Here is the flowers the next day when they had started to change colors.

We made an "All about our Class" book. Each child completed this page with the help from a teacher in small groups. We took a picture of them wearing their crayon crown and added it in the corner. I am going to laminate this and make it a book to put in our class library.

At the math center we sorted and counted color bears.

Here is the before of the crayon crown.

Here is the after of the crayon crown.

I gave each student a paper with their name written on it in either red, yellow or blue. At the writing center they could choose from red, yellow or blue markers to write and decorate their name.
