Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Fridays are always perfect days for Invention Parties, but Mother Nature thought Earth Day would be an even better day to reuse and invent! What a fun Monday we had!  Any of the kindergartners can tell you, I love a clean, organized classroom. During Invention Day parties, however, the messier the better! These creative kinders thought of some quality ideas! I know you will be impressed. Happy Earth Day!

Mrs. Wishy Washy

We love Mrs. Wishy Washy in kindergarten. We have gotten to know characters traits of Mrs. Wishy Washy while reading many of her books. We even met her husband, Mr. Dishy Washy! In small groups we selected a favorite Mrs. Wishy Washy book to write and draw about the main idea. Some of us recored ourselves reading the whole book while other groups chose to record their favorite pages. Press play below and you will fall in love with Mrs. Wishy Washy too!

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream

Thanks to Ms. Mott, last week we researched how ice cream is made and discovered we could each make our very own bag of ice cream right in our classroom. Friday we gave it a try! Here is a link to the recipe we used. Ice Cream in a Bag  Many of us used our mittens to keep our hands warm as we shook our bag.  Ask your kindergartner if they liked eating their ice cream!

Spring Mental Images

While it doesn't quite feel like spring outside, we still are reading, writing, and drawing about spring in kindergarten. After reading many books about spring, we used the Drawing Pad app to create these mental images of spring.
