Sorting and graphing kindergarten

Sometimes science and math flow so well together! At least that was the case today. We moved straight from making groups of tens and ones into our science skill of sorting objects in a variety of ways. If you don't know by now, I LOVE introducing concepts with the combination of an anchor chart and book! This little cutie was inspired by Cara.

I like to start out the year by completing a graph whole group once or twice a month. It is easy to use graphs along with the concepts you are learning about.

Whew! I have officially survived my second full week back in Kindergarten! I am BEAT! I am excited, because I really have a pretty good class, overall. We've had a few incidents, of course, but nothing compared to last year! It helps that I have an amazing assistant and a Granny to help with these kids! Thank goodness!!! We have been hard at work the past few weeks, getting settled into the routine of Kindergarten. I seriously think it is harder on me than it is on the kids! I'm so used to…
