Update Week of Sept 21--Apple Week and MORE!

We had a great week. We ate apples, made applesauce, made an apple craft, illustrated an apple poem, worked on our literacy and math stations, and observed snails.  Kindergarten is so much fun!

Poetry Notebook:
Every Monday, we learn and new poem and illustrate it in our poetry notebook.  Eventually we will copy the poem down to build our 1:1 correspondence and to help with our penmanship.

Literacy Stations:

Everyday we practice some type of literacy skill with our literacy stations.

Math Stations:
Everyday we practice our math skills in math stations.

Science Exploration:

We are studying snails: what do they look like, how fast do they move etc.

Apple Craft:

We made "stained glass" apples as our first craft.  The final product is hanging in our windows.

Apple Tasting:

You can't have apple week without tasting apples.  The kids loved red and yellow apples.  Only one kiddo loved the green one.

Tasting Granny Smith apples...a little bitter.

Yellow apples were better.

Graphing which apple we liked the most.

Final results of the graph.

Behavior Discussion:

We learned more about the skill of "listening" using our behavior DVD.  Desi the Dog really likes to listen because that is a good choice.

Desi the Dog is in the video.

Math Game:

Practicing using a die and writing the number down.

Applesauce:

End of the day treat!

 YUM!!!!

I'd like to welcome Laynee to our classroom.  She started on Friday and fit in just right!!
