Dr. Seuss math: Mr. Stanley didn’t know if we had enough red markers left after coloring our Cat in the Hat portraits. We counted the red stripes, the white stripes, & then how many stripes we had all together. Great news! We have plenty of red markers left. #mathasart #artasmath #drseussart #purposefulkindergartenmath #kindergartenmath #mlkday #peacesigns #kindergartenartist #kindergartenart #teachlikeyourhairsonfire #teachlikeapirate #greatpublicschoolscalifornia #greatpublicschoolssandiego #greatpublicschools #iteachkindergarten #kindergartenteacher #sandiegoteachers #lovesdschools #sdcoe #sdusd #sandiegocoe #nea #cta #cityheights #centralelementaryrocks (at Central Elementary) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bufk2eeBuh8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13217ybn1kpcz

When you take an imaginary ride on the Polar Express, you must have a Polar Express snack, do Polar Express snack math, and drink hot cocoa when the children in the movie drink theirs! It was a supper fun day! #polarexpress #polarexpressday #centralbearpride #valueeducation #teachlikeyourhairsonfire #teachlikeapirate #greatpublicschoolscalifornia #greatpublicschoolssandiego #greatpublicschools #iteachkindergarten #kindergartenteacher #sandiegoteachers #lovesdschools #sdcoe #sdusd #sandiegocoe #nea #cta #cityheights #centralelementaryrocks (at Central Elementary) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrodaUfhIvJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tf2bwprr8432

We earned a pizza party for having perfect attendance! Each day all students were present we earned a letter to spell “Central Bear Pride”. Students kept track by marking days we had perfect attendance and wrote the letter to correspond for that day. These students know the importance of being at school@and show up ready to learn! Who would have thought @voiceofsandiego ? #perfectattendance #pizzaparty #valueeducation #teachlikeyourhairsonfire #teachlikeapirate #greatpublicschoolscalifornia #greatpublicschoolssandiego #greatpublicschools #iteachkindergarten #kindergartenteacher #sandiegoteachers #lovesdschools #sdcoe #sdusd #sandiegocoe #nea #cta #cityheights #centralelementaryrocks (at Central Elementary) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrjrVdphRgf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kzxf6e6kwqyp

Our snow people found a new home. Creating a winter wonderland on an interior door. Going to add more to it then use it to write a story about. It’s going to be epic! #winterwonderlanddisplay #winterwonderland #perseverance #kindergartenartist #kindergartenart #recycledart #purposefulkindergartenmath #kindergartenmath #teachlikeyourhairsonfire #teachlikeapirate #greatpublicschoolscalifornia #greatpublicschoolssandiego #greatpublicschools #iteachkindergarten #kindergartenteacher #sandiegoteachers #lovesdschools #sdcoe #sdusd #sandiegocoe #nea #cta #cityheights #centralelementaryrocks (at Central Elementary) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrPBLokhpJs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l1i019kee14m

Recycling the plate we painted our snow people on to make torn paper wreaths. Thank you Mr. Greg @kindergartensmorgasboard for the inspiration! These will make Room 12 TK look mighty festive for December. #recycledart #kindergartenartists #teachlikeyourhairsonfire #teachlikeapirate #greatpublicschoolscalifornia #greatpublicschoolssandiego #greatpublicschools #iteachkindergarten #kindergartenteacher #sandiegoteachers #lovesdschools #sdcoe #sdusd #sandiegocoe #nea #cta #cityheights #centralelementaryrocks (at Central Elementary) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_wjilhB41/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a391lnl3g9v3

From cardboard tubes... recycled into snow people! We learned about how to describe a rectangle (the red scarf) and to describe a cylinder. So much academic language growing in Room 12! #kindergartenartist #kindergartenart #recycledart #purposefulkindergartenmath #kindergartenmath #teachlikeyourhairsonfire #teachlikeapirate #greatpublicschoolscalifornia #greatpublicschoolssandiego #greatpublicschools #iteachkindergarten #kindergartenteacher #sandiegoteachers #lovesdschools #sdcoe #sdusd #sandiegocoe #nea #cta #cityheights #centralelementaryrocks (at Central Elementary) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqyvqjIBZnJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dokr9hwflszi

It’s beginning to look a lot like... winter! Finally found a purpose for all those cardboard tubes I’ve been collecting. Can you guess what they might become? We needed to count them, then count students to make sure we had enough for everyone. And we did! #purposefulkindergartenmath #kindergartenmath #teachlikeyourhairsonfire #teachlikeapirate #greatpublicschoolscalifornia #greatpublicschoolssandiego #greatpublicschools #iteachkindergarten #kindergartenteacher #sandiegoteachers #lovesdschools #sdcoe #sdusd #sandiegocoe #nea #cta #cityheights #centralelementaryrocks (at Central Elementary) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqwTcxkBxiO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16loe3zncliad
