In math this week, we explored the pan balance. We placed different amount of buttons into the pans to see which side was heavier. We discovered that the heavier side went down and the lighter side went up. We also learned that when we put more buttons on the lighter side, it started to go down. When both pans were the same, they were balanced!
We also continued our study of patterns! Here we are working on our AAB patterns using bingo dabbers!
We also practiced drawing number stories. Here the kindergarteners listen to a story and draw circles to represent numbers. For example - "Elena went to the toy store and bought 4 new dolls." We then draw 4 circles. "She loved them so much, she went back to the store and bought 4 more dolls." We then draw for more circle. "How many dolls did Elena buy all together?" we then count all the circles to find the answer!
In literacy, we practiced using the letter stamps to write our friends' names. We used picture cards to help us read the names and then matched the letters on the card to the letter stamps!
We also practiced listening for the beginning sounds in words. We used small picture magnets and matched them to the correct beginning letter cup!
