Valentine's Day 2015

There is nothing better than spending Valentine's Day in Kindergarten! Love is definitely abounding. We were so proud of our monster Valentine boxes and made awesome "heart maps" to label all the things that fill our heart.

100th Day of Kindergarten

I think this was the best 100th day of Kindergarten yet! Our 100 capes made us feel extra special all day long. We also loved stations with the other K classes - 100 day bingo, a 100 drawing book, and a 100 style snack! During our snack time we were lucky enough to eat 100 snacks...well some of us saved quite a few for at home too. We also received a special food delivery from Kelly's dad straight from China King! We had quite a feast with a lot to celebrate -- we are 100 days smarter!

Penguin Facts

Thanks to Ms. Hanus, we have learned many interesting facts about penguins. After charting our learning, we each illustrated a fact. Today Ms. Hanus helped us make a video to share our new thinking.

Snowballs

The book Snowballs by Lois Elhert was filled with awesome ideas for making snow creatures. After reading Snowballs we were inspired used our own "junk" to make group snowman. We painted, measured, glued, taped, and used lots of cooperation!

Windblown

This week read the book Windblown by Edouard Manceau.

This book was filled with creativity as pieces "blow around" making different creations on every page. We used our imagination and made something out of the pieces too. We shared our thinking below.

StoryMaker

This week we used the app StoryMaker to create and write a story on the iPad. We we are learning how to use the space bar....I was impressed how quickly the kindergartners made this a habit while typing.  The link to this app is in our digital newsletter this week. Enjoy!

Christmas Memories

Our last few days before break were busy and fun! Between play performances, cookie baking, caroling, gift making, and cookie eating,....we still found time for lots of reading, writing, and math thinking about the holidays. Enjoy!
