Peek at my Week! 10/14 and Giveaway!

Last week was spider week! We had so much fun learning spider facts and I even convinced a few of my little girls that spiders aren't all scary! Winner in my book :)

Here are a few pictures of some of our spider-tivities last week! (Sorry for the blurry iPhone pics!)

First, we made a counting spider. The kiddos first had to count out 8 legs to glue on the spider. Then, the mommy/daddy spider had babies (1-8) and had to draw the numeral and quantity of spiders on each leg.

 

All week we were reading The Very Busy Spider and discussing what it meant to be busy. The kiddos each made another spider and dictated to me something that they are always very busy doing!

Next, I FINALLY finished my Fallin' for Fall Math and Literacy Stations pack! It includes 20 CCSS aligned stations! I worked really hard on this one and truly designed it for my kiddos needs! I have tried out almost all of the games on them (we're continuing to play them this week and next week) and they've been a hit!

I will give this away free to one random person that comments on this post! Just leave your email address and your favorite fall read-aloud :) I will choose a winner Wednesday night (9pm).

Here is a peek at my week! (Super boring, lots of assessment type stuff....boo!) You also may notice my math/literacy stations are the same. My babies need lots of practice :)

 Link up with Mrs. Wills for a Peek at my Week! All of you lucky people who have Columbus Day off and are enjoying fall break, I'm jealous! Happy Monday!

Remember to leave a comment with your favorite fall read-aloud and your email for a chance to win my Fallin' for Fall Math and Literacy Stations! I will choose a random winner on Wednesday!

Peek at my Week! 10/7 and Math Station Help!

So my kiddos and I have been in a rut. They have made so much progress, both socially and academically and they are wonderful kiddos, but we cannot get the hang of my math stations routine. If I leave them for a second, they go crazy!

So I think this is one of those times where I have to say, it's not them, it's me! I need to totally change up my math station routine. Anyone (especially kindergarten teachers) have idea that has really worked for them? I am going to focus on how to play games for the next week or so, but am looking for a way to get my kids to work independently/with partners so I can start pulling groups! Any ideas?

Anywho, beyond this little snafu, we are learning about spiders this week! I am going to try and actually post progress and pictures throughout this week. Taking 2 grad school classes and being on school committees in addition to getting ready to move into my new apartment, I feel like the blog is on the back burner. I promise I'll try harder!

Here is a Peek at my Week! Link up with Mrs. Wills Kindergarten and share your visual lesson plans too!

Have a great week!
