Colors Week

For the next two weeks, we will be learning about all of the colors in the world around us. Each day we celebrate a different color by wearing it, having a special snack, sharing a toy and drawing different things in our journal that are that color. We always have so much fun during these weeks!

RED DAY

We had red jello...yummy!

 

BLUE DAY

We had blueberry muffins!

 

ORANGE DAY

We had orangesicles! :)

Who says the kids are the only ones that can enjoy snacktime??

PURPLE DAY

We drank purple grape drinks.

We drew things that are purple in our journal.

 

BLACK DAY
We had yummy Oreos!

 

WHITE DAY
We ate vanilla ice cream.

 

First Week of Kindergarten

Benson's Little Bumblebees had a buzzing first week in kindergarten! We have had a wonderful start to the school year! This week we have been talking about school rules and how things work around our classroom. We also have begun reading, math, and writing. We have been doing a lot of singing and dancing as you can see in the videos below. We have also been using our ActivBoard a lot to reinforce the things we are learning. We have all kinds of excitement going on in the beehive! I am so thrilled to be starting a brand new year with a fantastic group of kids!
My name is...




Fun with Writing!




A told B and B told C, "I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree
!"...We made our own Chicka Chicka Boom Boom trees...YUMMY!

Singing and Learning

Here are a couple of fun songs that we have been singing in Kindergarten! Enjoy! :)

Welcome To Kindergarten!!

I am so excited about the new school year. Not only are we coming into a brand new, bright, clean, and beautiful classroom, but we have a wonderful class! We had a wonderful first day of school today. It was so precious to see all of them come into the room like big boys and girls and just leave their mommies and daddies standing at the door...I LOVE IT!! I just took a few pictures because my camera was not wanting to cooperate with me today, but I hope you enjoy seeing your little one in action on his or her first day.

Hard at work...



Recess Fun!

 

Benson's Little Bumblebees

Just so you know, I update this and try to put pictures on for you often. As a mom, I want to know what my little ones are up to during the day and I am not able to be there for everything...I do this for you so that you can keep up with what all is going on in our classroom. We will have so much fun this year and you will be amazed at how much your precious little one will learn.

I did not send home Homework Folders today, but will probably on Monday with more information about how we do things in our classroom so be looking for that in your child's bookbag. We got off to a slow start with communication due to the renovations, but I think we will all agree that it was worth it!

If you ever have any questions, you can reach me at the school or on my email, tara_benson@whitfield.k12.ga.us.

I just want you to know how honored I am to be your child's teacher this year. I think that Kindergarten is the best grade ever and we are going to have a fabulous year!
