Celebrating Earth Day
We celebrated Earth Day by planting herbs. We discussed the use of herbs and the way that they enhance food. The students decorated the peat cups and then added soil, seeds, and water.
Now we have to be patient. :-)

Making Words Wednesday
The final word we made was biggest. We talked about comparing the size of people and things and then students drew pictures on the back of their papers to show differences in size.

Telling Time
The kindergarten students started lessons in telling time. They enthusiastically recognized the clocks faces and changed the hands around to make the indicated time. Way to go!

Bunny Roll
We made these adorable bunnies from paper plates. We completed the bulletin board with patterned eggs.
Egg Hunting
The students had a great time hunting for eggs this morning. Some eggs were easy to find and some were more of a challenge to locate. Each student found three eggs and put them in their pail.
Writing with Technology
Today, Kaidynce used the sentences on the digital frame that I mentioned in my blog post from yesterday, to write a story and draw a picture.

Technology and Writing
Using a digital frame I created a writing center for the Kindergarten students.
Today, Alexis used the sentences to create a story that she read and then wrote. She then drew a picture to go with the text of the story.
