Language Arts and Our Kindergarten Store

Mrs. McMahon's class read Mrs. Wishy-Washy and acted the story out. Afterwards, they made predictions as to what would happen if the author wrote one more page. The girls had such great ideas that they decided to add two more pages.

Mrs. Martin's girls took time to write abut their favorite parts of spring in their storybooks.

In math, the girls finally got to shop in the store they created!  Be sure to ask your daughter what she purchased.

Kindergarten Store

The kindergarten girls created their own grocery store today.  We divided the girls into two groups and each group created a sign for the store.  Then the girls were partnered up, chose five items from our collection, and determined a price for each item.  Next week, the girls will start shopping!

Popcorn Words and Shadows

The kindergarten girls worked on their popcorn words this morning.

During science, they learned a riddle about our new science unit.  Have your daughter read the riddle to you tonight and see if you can solve it!

The girls are having so much fun learning all about shadows!

Spirit Animals

During Morning Meeting, the girls shared which animal they would be and why.  They came up with such creative answers that we decided to make a language arts lesson out of it!  The girls watched short videos of their animals and acted them out. Then they created their animals using Model Magic and painted their finished product.  Afterwards, the girls wrote complete sentences about their animals.  

Mrs. Martin's class started learning about shadows today.  Be sure to ask your daughter what shadow puppet she made!

Operation Save the Worms took place during Mrs. McMahon's lunch recess.  The girls made sure that all the worms they found were placed back into their natural habitat.

Making Lists and Cherry Trees

During Writer's Workshop, the girls learned how to make a list.  First, we brainstormed all of the different lists they have heard of and then we made our own grocery list.

Afterwards, the girls made a list of their favorite things about spring and shared their list with a partner.

Mrs. Martin's class worked on their Weeping Cherry Tree paintings.

Earth Day and Spring Picnic

This morning, the girls glued their coffee filter Earths into their Song and Poetry Books and worked on their word tracking by locating and highlighting several different words.

We celebrated this beautiful spring day by having a special lunch picnic.

Earth Day

With Earth Day approaching, the girls learned a new song from our Song and Poetry Book about our world.  Then they watercolored coffee filters which they will use as part of their illustrations to the new song.
