Math Number Hunt

We went on a hunt for numbers in our environment.  The kids had a GREAT time using construction paper "spy glasses" to look for numbers.  We took pictures of each number we found to make a class book.

Zoom, Zoom, We're off to the Moon!

Our school theme this year is a "Global Connections" theme. Each grade level has an adopted cause and will be collaborating with students in another country via Skype and other technologies to work on our cause. Our school is decorated with space items as part of our theme. We thought, what better way to kick off our school year than by doing our first collaborative project by using recyclables to make rocket ships? We  introduced researching by looking up rockets on the internet with our smart board. We checked out books from our library for reference. Four small groups worked together to make 4 very unique rockets.  Each group proudly made a sign for their rocket. We concluded our project by drawing / writing about our rockets. The children had a GREAT time and worked so hard! I think we have a room full of little "inventors" and "scientists"! I can not wait to see what future collaborative projects hold after this great start!

Everybody Read!

We have had an exciting start to our brand new school year.  Already, our kids are on their way to becoming great readers!  We have learned that there are 3 ways to read a book.  We have learned how to look at books and are well on our way to becoming amazing "book detectives".  Check out these great kinder-readers!

Welcome to Kindergarten!

We are so excited to have a chance to work with your child this year.   My name is Karissa Cockrell and my assistant's name is Miriam Henzler.  We are so fortunate to have a student intern with us for the fall semester named Miss Acuff.  We are looking forward to an exciting year full of possibilities and fun!
