This past week was a very exciting one in Kindergarten. In math, we read “Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons.” We discussed the color of Pete’s buttons, then we graphed our favorite color buttons. We used the graph to figure out which color button we liked the most, which color we liked the least, and how each one of us was represented on the graph. Continuing on with measurement, students played “Ribbon War” on Thursday. Students worked with a partner for this game. Each group had their own bag of multi length ribbon. Students randomly pulled a ribbon from their bag, compared the lengths of each ribbon (i.e. which was longer which was shorter) and when they were finished they ordered the ribbon from shortest to longest. Today, we began discussing voting. Students participated in our own class vote. Their favorite part of Halloween: carving pumpkins or trick-or-treating. We also voted for their favorite Fall holiday, Thanksgiving or Halloween. We met with Mrs. Thompson’s class to see what the winners were in each category and learn more about voting!
Students made another class book this week. They wrote about what they were going to be for Halloween. We added two more words to the word wall this week, “me” and “my.” Learning these words helped when creating the class book. Students wrote “I can see me. I am a_________.” They also drew a picture of their costume to go along with their writing. They did a great job with these, they turned out so well! Students continued writing their narratives on Thursday, and they wrote Friday Notes Home today!
The most exciting part of our week was, of course, Halloween! Students made Pumpkin Playdough on Tuesday, watched a few fun Halloween videos, and read many Halloween themed books. Thank you to all of the parents who sent things in, planned, and helped with the parties! Both parties were so wonderfully planned. Students had a blast!!
Next Monday (11/12) is our 60thday of school (time is flying!!) In honor of our 60thday, we are going to dress like we are from the 60s! We’ve been practicing different ways to count to 60 and this will be a fun way to celebrate! I haven’t told the students this yet, just wanted to give you all a heads up.
Next week will be another exciting week in kindergarten, it will also be my last full week here. Mrs. Snider will be back on Tuesday, November 13th!
Important dates to remember:
11/6: No school
11/12: Dress like the 60’s day!
11/13 Welcome Back Mrs. Snider!
