August and September Happenings from Kinderbykim!

Late August we began and we are off to a busy but great start! I am so behind posting on my blog and have a few minutes before soccer today so... I thought I'd try to catch up! The first day of school we made this simple project ad I even got their first day of school picture on them by Back To School Night that night.

(Yes we have BTSN the first day!)

The first week we also read The Kissing Hand and made this cutie. 

We talked about how we felt about coming to kindergarten!

Our "Buckets of Fun" necklaces were a great success to wear home the first day of school!

During September we also made these cuties 

and hung them around the room! 

Thanks to Julie Lee for this darling project idea!

                       

Kindergartners love to cook! We made Friendship Fruit and yummy Applesauce!

 you can find the recipes in my TPT store Kinder Cafe!

Enjoy your Saturday! I promise to be back soon 

with our October activities! 

Almost Ready! Back to School Freebies!

Finishing up my Birthday treats for my Kinders this year!

The boys are getting Hot Wheels and bubbles.

The girls are getting a little coin purse and bubbles!

One of the activities on the first day will be making this beach pail necklace to take home. Click Here For The Pattern

 Self Portraits are always fun to start the first week 

of kindergarten and first grade. Have your kiddos draw a picture once a month throughout the school year.

I was so happy to get to see my amazing friends Kim, Shari, Elizabeth and Deedee and I was thrilled to get to meet Victoria Saied from 2 SuperTeachers

One of the highlights was being able to hug Nikki the amazing artist of Melonheadz. I got to wear the ever so famous "Tutu Apron" by Sandi Welch of Kinder Gardening.

It's Over, It's Done, But Wasn't Kindergarten Fun?

 I'm showing this picture first because it sums up the last day of Kindergarten! Autographed bucket-heads!

This is the tag that is flipped over in the picture.

We spent part of the morning autographing buckets!

I also made photo/ autograph books for each child with pictures 

from the school year. So Fun!

We played Beach Blanket Sight Word Bingo with 

"Smarties" for markers and had ice cream sundaes. Yum!

What's a last day of kinder with out a little water fun?

We did water races, water balloon toss
