Here is the final version of the slideshow of our visit to the farm!

Friday

Fun day..worked on even MORE bug stuff.  We also did a "directed drawing" after reading these wonderful books....

  


Here is one of the amazing examples from one of our kindergartners!!!

 

Thursday!

We are working hard on our Fiction stories.  The kindergartners filled out a Story Map to get their ideas down for characters, setting, problems and solutions.  We have spent a few days, as a group, first choosing a setting and a character and then making up a story together.  I have heard some wonderful ideas!

Still working on all things buggy.  We have learned many amazing facts about the insect and spider world.  Ask your kindergartner about the eyes of flies!

Here is the start of our bug bulletin board....

Wednesday!

Lots of good literacy discussions around how illustrations help tell a story, how some authors use words in different shapes to help tell a story and how talking to someone about a book you have just read helps you to remember the story!

We had to make MORE cats this morning for the "Our Month in School" chart.  We spin each day to see which one goes up.  Can you see why we were coloring cats?!?!?!?

Pavel's mom brought in fun project - bug cookies!  She was all ready to help our 19 kindergartners get frosting when our 3rd grade reading buddy class walked in!  I forgot they were coming - even though they come every Wednesday at the same time!  They were in luck because Ms. Dhaliwal was SO PREPARED that she had enough cookies, frosting and decorations for everyone!

We had a great day...

 

Tuesday!

We are reading wonderful books about Earth Day, and having great discussions how we can help protect our earth.

 

 

 LOVE THESE KINDERGARTNERS........
