Our First Week !!
We had a wonderful week of Kindergarten!! We read many stories. When we read Pirates go to School, we made pirate hats and had pirate names. We read When Sophie's Feelings are Really, Really, Hurt, we discussed how we felt on the first day and created a graph. We read The Day a Monster Came to School, we discussed rules, made monsters and presented how their monsters are following a school rule. We had fun discovering centers, such as magnetic letters, a memory game, and alphabet games. In Math, we have been exploring manipulative such as, snapping cubes, buttons, counting frogs, tangrams, and cubes.
Next week, we will be focusing on the letters A and B. We will learn the words "I" and "am". We will be looking at the U.S. Flag, the Pledge of Allegiance, and continuing to rotate centers. In Math, we will identify, count, and write the numbers 1 to 5. In STEM, we will be discussing and completing activities about weather.
Our first STEM project
We read Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom. We made coconut trees to see how many coconuts our tree can hold without it falling over. This was our first STEM project and it was the first time our students had to work as a team to come up with a finished product. All the teams worked together so nicely and they all completed the task!! The coconut trees were all successful because they all held coconuts. I AM SO PROUD OF ALL MY STUDENTS!!!!!
