Science

We were out and about yesterday exploring seed adaptations using sound, sight and touch. Our focus included plant life cycles, seed adaptations, asking questions, searching for answers and using our outdoor classroom.

Kindergarten Quilt

This is our quilt made from a lot of triangles! Check out what we noticed in our amazing comments.

Roll and Write

We are using this center to practice letter formation, using the letters introduced during our Fundations lessons. This week we are practicing t, m, b, f and n. To play a child takes a letter and rolls the die. Then he/she writes that letter the number of times rolled. He/she continues with each letter. This activity helps us with common core standard L.K.1a - demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking by printing many upper and lowercase letters.

Match It Up

It was hard work but with cooperation, teamwork and perseverance these kindergartners found all 26 letter matches! This activity is a choice during reading workshop time.

Reading Workshop

We opened browsing boxes today! Browsing boxes are a collection of books that each student is able to read independently. We are very excited about learning to read!

Sharing

We read a funny book today about a kindergarten classroom and sharing called "We Share Everything" by Robert Munsch. This read aloud sparked a discussion about sharing in our classroom, specifically what is ok and not ok to share. The list you see here are things we decided to share during our year together. We decided that sharing follows our school rule of "Be Kind" much like belonging.

Pick For Your Neighbor

The kindergarten picked 6 bags of apples as a community service project. All of the apples will be donated to the VT food bank. Thank you to all of the families who donated!
