Is it bad that I haven't written a post in for.ever.? I almost didn't remember how to get to Blogger. Okay, it wasn't that bad...but it's been too long.<br /> <br /> Hopefully your school year has started out well. The first few weeks of Kindergarten are always a test of patience and flexibility. Rewarding but definitely exhausting (anyone that's taught Kinder knows exactly what this is like).<br /> <br /> We are trying to establish a routine and have been fairly successful...so now it's time to get down to business. We have some serious learning to do...starting with our colors, letters and numbers. I love games - and really just about anything can be made into a game.<br /> <br /> ***True story...to practice putting lids onto our highlighters correctly, we play the "give a little shake" game. Kinders love putting the lids on (so they don't get lost) and shaking that highlighter up a storm to make sure the lid is on securely. Don't judge...it works I promise!***<br /> <br /> Back to games...I've been working on my "Find It Fast" games for September. We played "Find the Colorful Cat" today - with numbers. Check it out here! 3 games for $3.00 - a great way to review as a whole group or have students play it in small groups.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Find-It-Fast-Colorful-Cat-Edition-877276" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IWmkiZQYC5M/Uje9EfCT9BI/AAAAAAAABqc/Hsa98ifXMis/s320/Slide1.GIF" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> For being a loyal reader...grab your Find It Fast Freebie here.
