St. Patrick's Day

We had so much fun on St. Patrick's Day!  Here we are creating a pot of gold writing activity - who is worth more than gold to you?  We made our own pots of gold to display our writing!  We also played a sight word game called Popcorn Words, which, of course is a leprechauns favorite food (because of its gold color)!  Finally, we enjoyed some snack while we graphed the marshmallows in our Lucky Charms cereal!

Surveys

In math recently, we learned about surveys.  We discussed how they are created and different ways to organize the information collected.  Each kindergartener took turns creating a survey question to ask the class and recorded their findings.  Some of the questions included "Do you have a pet dog?  Yes/No", "What is your favorite color?", "Do you have a baby brother/sister?  Yes/No", or "What do you like to eat at lunch?"  After taking the surveys, the kindergarteners created their own graphs to show what they found!

Shining Lights

Over the last few weeks, our class has honored friends who have already been the Shining Light, but have continued to let their light shine everyday!  I am so proud of Nia, Donovan and KB!  They were chosen because of their excellent behavior.  I have been looking for different things each week, and these friends have shown amazing sharing skills, taking turns and not interrupting a speaker.  I can't wait to see who our next Shining Light will be! 

Groundhogs Day

Before Groundhogs Day, we spent the week learning all about groundhogs, especially Puxatawney Phil!  On the morning of Groundhogs Day, we made a graph predicting if we thought Phil would see his shadow or not.  We then watched a news video from earlier in the morning to see what happened with Phil.  Here is our graph and some Groundhogs Day writing!

100s Day!

We had such a great time on our 100th day of kindergarten! Check out the hats that the children created using 100 objects! They were so creative - cotton balls, candy, stickers, cereal, buttons, you name it! 

We also had 100 themed activities!  Here we are making a pizza with 100 topping!

We made our own 100 Day trail mix.  We used 10 pieces of 10 different snack to create 100 piece trail mix.  It tasted do good!

Our centers were also focused on the number 100.  We played a dice rolling game up to 100, wrote our numbers to 100 and made 100 fingerprints!

Finally, we made a list of things that we would want and would NOT want 100 of.  Check out what we said!

We had such a great day!  We can't wait for the next 100 days of school!

Mystery Reader

Thank you to Antoneyo's mom who surprised us as the mystery reader at our village meeting!  We loved hearing the book Harry the Dog!

Sweethearts Dance

Back in February, our school held its annual Sweethearts Dance.  Everyone had a great time enjoying the food and music!  Here are a a few of our friends taking a break from all the dancing!
