All About Me and School are the topics for our first month of school.
We will learn about our friends and how to work together as a class.
Practicing routines.
We start with meeting Pip the Pup1
She will teach us some very important things!
How to correctly use different areas in our classroom.
How to correctly use supplies and tools in our room.
If there is a need, there is a Pip book for it!
This is NOT a sponsored post, but I am always accepting them!
To get your own Pip products.
Our morning bins:
We start easy.
We have bears.
Chain links
Plastic frogs
Pattern blocks
and snap cubes
The first week is just free explore.
We read lots and lots of Pip!!
She teaches us everything!!!!!!
We read a school tool book and then practice what she said.
Pencils, we use scrap paper and practice :)
We read the crayon book and practice coloring on scrap paper.
We practice before I ask them to do any sort of task.
What pencils do.
What dry erase markers do.
How to be helpful.
How to sit at circle time.
How to use mini counters (aka mini erasers!!!)
Pip has become a staple in my classroom.
We read Pip uses scissors.
I cut narrow strips of paper.
They practiced their cutting skills and
cut them on these trays.
I saved the pieces for a later date.
We read Pip and the Dry Erase Marker.
We used our yet-to-be-introduced name pockets.
I put a scrap page inside the dry erase pocket.
Next week starts name tracing.
Practice the procedures, first :)
We just write lines like pencils, no drawing.
Need a book to teach about Fall? Pip has you covered!
Teach about spinners? Pip has you covered.
Teach about Glue Sponges? Pip has you covered :)
I promise that I do use other books too, but these are so awesome, the kids who never read on their own, pick up Pip books.
We graph our favorite colors.
We measured our shoes with cubes.
I use these name cards and shrunk them down to 4 pages per page.
Check your printer settings :)
Then when we made our hair graph:
