Get ready.....this post will be full of items. I have been so busy, that I just have not posted all the things we have been doing in K-land in the month of January. Believe me it is a lot. I promise to be much better in February. :-) So..here we go to the adventures and learning fun of room 6.
Snowmen
Even though we have been working on our common core units, we can't leave out all the snowmen books and activities. Even though we do not have snow here in South Georgia, our little k-crew kids love to read and write about them.

| Snowman writing. We wrote several days about the snowman using our thinking map. The kids did a great job with their writing. |
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We always enjoy talking and learning about MLK. It is so amazing just how many of our 5 year olds do not know who he was. By the end of the day, they can all tell you about MLK. I love making the Martin Luther King pictures. I love to see how their faces will turn out. They all have their own look and lots of personality.
Leader by day, Superhero by night
This unit so far has been very interesting. The kids have loved the superhero part of the unit and day/night. Next week we will be moving into leaders/presidents. So far we have learned how to compare ourselves to a superhero, what happens in the day sky, and what happens in the night sky. Take a look.....

The 100th day of School
We always love, love, love the 100th day of school. My favorite part is all the cute, awesome projects that the kids bring. This year we decided to change classes for the 100th day. Each kindergarten teacher did a different activity. Our room was the 100th day photo booth, and building out of 100 items.

| 100th day of school photo frame. All the pictures turned out so cute. I made it by taking an old frame and covering it will paper and decorating it. So easy. This is also the same frame I used on the first day of school. Just tape on the items, and there you go. A changeable frame. Velcro would work great. Maybe an idea for next year. |
Groundhog Day
Will the groundhog see his shadow? We will have to wait and see. We had a great time reading, writing and predicting about the little old groundhog. Personally I hope he does not see is shadow. I like warmer weather. :-)

Boy I'm tired now. It's amazing when you do not post for a few weeks just how much you have done. I promise to be better and post again soon. Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look at all the great learning going on in room 6.
