Delightful December

December in kindergarten brings lots of joy! We were busy with Grinch Day, caroling, Polar Express pajama day, cooking baking, ornament making, plays, and more. We made many happy memories!

ChatterPix

This week we tried out a new app called ChatterPix Kid.

 

 This app invites us to take a picture, draw a mouth, add our voice, and make the picture talk. Pretty awesome!! :) We took pictures of book pages and shared our thinking about the characters. This is just the beginning of great things we can try with ChatterPix Kid.

The Three Little Pigs...Lego Style!

I'll huff...and I'll puff...and I'll blow your house in ! These words were said often in our classroom this week. We enjoyed reading several different versions of The Three Little Pigs. While reading, we made book to book connections and analyzed the characters. Ask your kindergartner about his/her favorite selection. On Friday, we used our Lego sets to retell, focus on vocabulary, and share our thinking about the pigs and wolf. Without much direction from me, these kindergartners were creative, independent thinkers! Each kindergartner shared one pig or wolf smart thought in the video below.
