Off to a good start!


The class of 2024 got off to a good start on Thursday. We are learning about our classroom rules and procedures, and we have already discovered that we are ALL good readers!

Today we started a week of activities surrounding the favorite book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? I love reviewing colors and introducing the kids to characteristics of print. Of course we talked about the cover, title, author, and illustrator, and today we read the book for enjoyment. The rest of the week we will read for a purpose - looking for "popcorn" words, comparing different versions of the story, and acting out the story. We will also tie in math and science wherever possible. We did a math sorting and graphing activity today using gummy bears.

First we sorted them by color:








Then we graphed our gummy bears:








After we talked about our graphs, we got to eat our gummy bears! Mmmmmm...

Welcome Class of 2024!

A BIG welcome to the class of 2024! Parents, please make sure I have your email address so you can receive a notice when our classroom blog is updated! My goal is weekly, but some weeks warrant an extra post, and sometimes I get a little behind.

Please enjoy checking out the room, and make sure to stop and see me, and let me know of any concerns you might have. I am here to support you and your child as they begin their journey on the road of education!

Love, Mrs. Krouskop-Smith (Mrs. K.)
