We Are Finally Back!

After a long absence and blogging somewhere else, I'm back!  I am so excited for this wonderful school year to start.  It is going to be a wonderful year!

Stay tuned for Ms. Sharp's summer adventures and ideas for teachers!

Ms. Sharp

Jack and Jill

     Today we learned about the nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill."  We learned that Jack fell down and broke his crown.  To help fix Jack, we colored Jack to work on our fine motor skills, and then we put bandaids on Jack's "boo-boos." 

We learned to open the bandaids all by ourselves!

Jack is all better!

     We had a great time learning about Jack and Jill today!

Little Bo Peep

     Today, we learned all about the nursery rhyme "Little Bo Peep."  We talked about how sheep feel, and we even made a sheep.  Can your child act out the rhyme "Little Bo Peep?" 

     Also, we worked on writing our names.  Every day in kindergarten, for the first several weeks of school, we work on writing our names.  Student should be able to write their name with one capital letter at the beginning of their name, and small letters for the rest.  For example, I would write my name Kari Sharp.  Please work with your child on writing his or her name correctly.

     Tonight is our Back to School Night.  I am so excited about meeting the parents of the children in my classroom! 

Love,

Ms. Sharp

Humpty Dumpty

        Yesterday our class learned about the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme.  We acted out Humpty Dumpty, and even made a Humpty Dumpty.  Can your child recite the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme?  We will be learning more about Humpty Dumpty when we have our whole class together very soon!

Love,

Ms. Sharp
