JUMP!


The ending word today for our Making Words activity was jumping. So the students demonstrated their jumping skills on the playground.




New Growth!

Look at those pretty little sprouts peeking out from under the warm moist soil.

The germination period for these mustard seeds is 21-28 days and this is only day 5!

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.

Kaidynce is big. Tiani is bigger. And Dhruv is biggest.



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!



Another Success Story

Kaidynce began XtraMath addition on February 21st with a score of 18 and today, 30 school days later, she completed the addition with a perfect score of 100%! Kaidynce received a certificate and a brag tag for her accomplishment. Congratulations!


Happy Birthday!

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.
