It's beginning to look a lot like....summer?!?!

Yes, bring on the summer!

We have 3 weeks to go....and although I love my job, I love my summers too!

And I can't believe that in a few short weeks I am off to the

I Teach K! Conference in Las Vegas!  Whoo hoo!

If you are planning to attend the conference as well, leave me a comment as I'm trying to arrange with some fellow teacher-blogger friends a get together there.
I'd love to meet you too!

On to my week....I have transformed my classroom into a beach paradise and my kiddies are loving it!

This is the palm tree from Deanna Jump - didn't it come out great!  A few Teacher Aide's made the paper mache coconuts with some students and I think they look adorable!

Here are some of the centres we worked on this week. 

The kids had to match the flip flops - one had just a picture on it and the other had a sentence.  They had to figure out what the sentence said and match it to the correct picture.

Matching the "scoop" to the "cone" - reading the CVC word and completing the worksheet.  FUN!

"Crabby Counting" - counting by 10s.  The students are getting so good at skip counting!

Sorting coloured shells and counting them out!

This is the Write the Room I put out for the next few weeks.  A nice way to end the year, with beach balls around our classroom!

In addition to all of this fun, my kinders have been hard at work practicing for our Kindergarten Graduation.

The theme is "It's a Small World."

Next week we are planning to finish our hot air balloon pastel craft, our writing piece "When I grow up..." and we are painting clay plates and having them fired for a cute keepsake.

Phew!  That's a lot!  I'll keep you posted!

The activities above all came from my
