"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." (Philippians 2:3, 4 NIV)
To have Faith means to believe in something you can not see. Well, I can not see what the future will hold for my Kindergarten Stars, but I can have Faith and trust that God will give me the skills and love to start shaping each and every little life I touch in my Kindergarten classroom.

Partner Pick, Write & Read
Today I put a little twist on one of my reading activities. The kids love it when they get to use their white boards, plus we needed a little printing practice too, so I just put it all together. I had my partner groups sit in chairs facing each other, and then I put a stack of about 20 word flashcards down on the floor between their toes.
Going one partner at a time, the kids would reach down and secretly, secretly is the key, pick up a word. Then they would write it on their white board. Remember, I said secretly, so I just loved watching them try to hide the word while they were writing. Once they wrote the word, they would show it to their partner so he or she could read it. Together they would make a stack of all the words they knew. If I had to help them figure out a word, we would just put it back in the stack on the floor. :0)
They loved it!! What is a fun and different way that you work on reading words in your classroom?

Hi, you have a lovely blog here. I just stumbled upon your blog by chance while looking for some Kindergarten activities for my grandchildren. I am now following you one GFC and I will be back hopefully often. I hope you stop over and check out my blog. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies for checking out my blog!! :0) I am so excited to share a little about my Kindergarten journey and my Faith!!
ReplyDeleteSo simple yet so fun! Thanks for the idea! Also, I LOVE your little message at the top of your blog - what a great perspective on acting out faith as I teach my precious K's. We may not know the future for them, but we know the One who holds their futures in His hands! Would you mind if I quoted you during my welcome to the new Kindergarten families next fall? Thanks and may God continue to strengthen you and uphold you with His mighty hand :)
