Kindergartners LOVE Valentine's Day! Their own mailboxes, treats, lots of cards, and tons of sweet friendships...it makes for a pretty great day in K. Here are some highlights:

Windblown

The book Windblown helped us notice how our thinking changes as we read.

We talked about how our schema changes the way we look at ideas in books and in life. The wind blew the book's shapes into many different creations. Here is how we thought the shapes would land.

The Little Hummingbird

This week we read the book The Little Hummingbird.

We noticed that our thinking changed and grew as we read about the tiny bird that "did what he could" and made a big difference. Check our big ideas from the book:

It Snowed a Heap....

It snowed a heap, it snowed a heap
It snowed all over the kinders, kinders, kinders,
It snowed all over the kinders!

Check out where we think the snow is falling!

Snowballs

Lois Elhert's book, Snowballs was a hit in kindergarten! We loved making our own snow creatures like in the book. Thanks for all the "junk" you helped us collect!
