Pete the Cat and the Missing Cupcakes
We played a game with pretend cupcakes and a baking tray. I'd fill the tray up with 6 cupcakes and then move the camera and take some away, then challenge the kids to tell me how many I stole. Then the kids got to record themselves telling me who they think would steal their cupcakes. A lot of them said that their dad would! lol

1st Week of School! Reveal & Distance Learning
1st Week of School 2020-2021
This year started with distance learning and with a much more different distance learning approach than what it was in the spring. It's been a huge challenge, but the kids are adorable and make me laugh. I wish the kids could be in the classroom, but I am doing the best I can virtually. Now that I have 3 days of school down, I wanted to share some of the activities we have done so far! Each day we have 3 live Zoom sessions followed by activities on SeeSaw. Right now we virtually meet at 8:15, 10:00, and 11:45. Each session ranges from 25-45 minutes.
Let me just first start with my classroom reveal! This year my class theme is America! :)
Here is our kindergarten daily schedule at a glance.
