I'm "SPRINGING" back into our blog!

Happy spring and welcome back to our blog!  As a new blogger I am learning that, like many things in life, changes and new routines take time, energy, patience, practice, and repetition.  I started our classroom blog this fall thinking that it would be easy and fun to "jump" on the computer and communicate with parents via a blog.  Well, as you have noticed, I am an EMERGING BLOGGER with much to learn!  There is a wonderful quote that I keep tucked in my mind when I get frustrated and think that everything I do should be done extremely well the fist time.  It goes like this:   

"Learn to be patient with yourself.  Enjoy the process of growth for what it is...an ongoing opportunity to become the best we can become at all levels in our life.  Don’t push the river.  Just let it flow."

So I am going to be patient, put my blogging picture by my computer, and gather a classroom of enthusiastic munchkins to entice me down the river!  Wish me the best!

Printing Numbers Video

Watch Miss Sawyer make numbers 1 - 8!  See if you can make them just the same.

NUMBER PRINTING

We are printing numbers 1-8!  Here are the WORDS that we use to make our numbers.  Have fun practicing at home.  Fun ways to practice:

•      in pudding on a plate OR jello sugar  (trace and lick!)
•      make a sand tray with colored sand and a rimmed cookie sheet
•      trace numbers on your mommy's back

1 = straight down
2 = curve up, slant down, across
3 = around make a half circle, around make a half circle
4 = straight down, across, pick up your pencil, straight down
5 = straight down, out and around, pick up your pencil, across
6 = down, under, up, and make a circle
7 = across, make a point, slant down
8 = curve back, around, make an "s", and close it up
