Before I begin my "Peek at my Week," I have to say that we begin DIBELS, our program practice (YAY!) and our end of the year Fountas and Pinnell running records/reading assessments. SO, we are doing a ton of what I call, "productive busy work." We need our students independentally working for longer than normal in order for testing to be completed. I SO wish we could get a sub for a half day to knock it all out and move on to teaching, but that's a whole other ball of wax.....
So, onto my week!
Monday in Math we are continuing with place value, math fluency and a review of addition and subtraction. We will be testing the sweet nuggets every day on their fluency with these awesome tests made by my good buddy, Kindergarten Smorgasboard! I have been doing these for the past couple of weeks, my kids LOVE it! I put an online timer on the projector, I think they feel like they are big kids! I have noticed a ton of growth, these tests truly take the guesswork out of who "gets it" and who is struggling! I plan on doing these MUCH earlier next year with my students! Seriously ya'll, BUY this! Best $6 I have spent for true formative and summative assessments!
In Reading we will read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. This is one of my favorite Eric Carle books! We will discuss the beginning, middle and end of the story. I made this for my graphic organizer, I mean, seriously, TOO CUTE!
The students will then make their own caterpillar using a freebie from my store!
On Tuesday we will do our "Flash" math fact fluency tests. We will put the numbers 1-20 in order using this FREEBIE from The Bubbly Blonde!
In Reading the sweet nuggets will sequence The Very Hungry Caterpillar by making this caterpillar!
I found the pictures of for sequencing here.
On Wednesday we will continue our fluency "Flash" tests and then review subtraction from 10 using gloves, similar to this activity! 
The sweet nuggets will use a math subtraction sheet to assessment purposes from this spectacular unit! Go check it out! I am in LOVE with everything in this packet! I love that it is all interactive!
In Reading we will move onto The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle. We will talk about the sequence of the story using what the grouchy ladybug did in the morning, afternoon and night. The fantabulous site, Golden Gang Kindergarten offers this free download to help the sweet nuggets organize their ideas! We will also make a ladybug and write what makes us grouchy! Too cute! Here's the Golden Gang Kindergarten grouchy ladybug craftivity that my sweet nuggets will be doing!
On Thursday we will continue with our "Flash" math fluency test and we will do a math review page from the Subtraction Fun, by From the Pond.
In Reading, we will read The Very Lonely Firefly we will make a big story map of the book and then listen to a myon story about fireflies and we will all make a firefly and pick one fact to write about it! These ideas came from Mrs. Plant's Press, go check her out!
On Friday we are going to the Nashville Zoo for a field trip! It is going to be a great week!
