Five for Friday- Sept 27

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for another wonderfully random Five for Friday!!

1. I am hosting my very first Giveaway!!!  Check out the details in my blog post from yesterday by clicking here!  All you have to do is follow me for the chance to win 4 beautiful new books:

 2. In writing we started labeling our drawings.  We talked about nouns, what they are, and made a list over the course of 3 days (please excuse my crude drawing...):

All the kids are working hard at getting letters down for labels:

And they work so quietly during writing time!!!

3. We did experimentations (yeah, I said it) with colors this week!  You can read my post here!

4. We started using the computers this week during literacy centers.  They were soooooo excited for these! We have been hanging out on Starfall and will be starting Breakthrough to Literacy sometime in October.

5.We started our ABC Fluency Books today.  I first heard the idea from Kim Adsit- you can check out her abc book here.  Then I found a little different one from Deedee Wills here, and decided this would work for me better.  BUT I modified her book to have the pictures that go with our Breakthrough to Literacy Alphabet.

If you also use Breakthrough to Literacy, or just want a new ABC book that the kids can color in, you can get my copy here!
