I have several language students in kindergarten this year that are working on vocabulary. I am hoping to build a strong background knowledge with concrete activities to get my students talking. I started the year with a beach theme and we have moved to an apple theme this week.
When providing specific experiences to my students, I always think about Alma Stipp and her teacup analogy.

We did the toothpaste activity at the beginning of the year. We followed it up with the book Mr. Peabody's Apples by Madonna. Who knew Madonna wrote books?! My hope is that my students remember the power of their words.

The kids have songs for: subjects, predicates, singular nouns, plural nouns, and the drop the e rule for adding endings to words ending in E. We love music and chants!

We have already begun dancing and learning some of our standards to music and chants!! It's amazing what kids learn/remember from using music to reinforce their learning.

First Grade got together and created a team building exercise to tackle proper sentence structure! I'm sure you all saw us in our referee shirts! It was fun! We plan to create at least a couple each month in the future. I'm hoping we go beyond school and into our community and world!

In the works of developing the theme of our fall literacy night. I'm envisioning a "Write Em' Cowboy" theme focused on writing pieces. The staff will wear cowboy attire, the halls decorated like a western, and maybe tracking down some horses??

First grade used flipgrid for the lesson Kacie mentioned and had coaches send a message to the kids. They loved it. One student even gave an Amen after Robert's message. 😂 We plan to use it for Grandparents Day by having the kids record a message and play in our room for our activity. Mandy said we should have the app on the iPad. Now just hoping Ashley put in the code on the iPad's. 🙏🙏🙏
