"Frog Finger!"

I started something new with the kids this year.  In order to keep them quiet while taking class bathroom breaks I bring my "frog finger" with me!  The frog finger is a big giant stuffed TCU(horned frogs!) finger that someone gave me! I let the "quietest person" hold it for a little bit.  The kids LOVE IT!!!!  I haven't heard a peep all week at the bathroom!  I forgot to take pictures of it today, but here are some from yesterday!







Be sure to ask your kiddo if they've held the FROG FINGER yet!! :)

DAY 2!!

WOW!  Yesterday was great...but today was AWESOME!!  The kids remembered all of our rules and procedures from yesterday and learned even more today!!


Today I introduced 4 math tubs!  The students were able to explore with them at their tables!  It was a big hit!!


Teddy bears used for sorting, making patterns and so much more!

Pattern blocks are lots of fun!!



Who knew you could learn with buttons?!

Cubes are definitely a favorite among kindergarteners!


All in all it was a really super day! :)

The kids also loved meeting all of their new friends!  We have a really great bunch this year, and I know there will be wonderful friendships formed!
