AT Word Family

We have introduced the "AT" word family. The children placed various magnetic letters before the word "at" and read the new word they created.
Some of the children are familiar with this and are moving on to other concepts based on their level. Differentiation has begun based on the assessments being done. 

Math Numerals, Writing and Counting Practice

In Kindergarten we continue to work on our number recognition, counting and writing skills. 
Below the children are doing a Dominoes center where they count the number of dots on each Domino and write the number on paper.

 Below the children are using rods to practice counting and writing their numbers independently. 

Below the children are writing the number they learned to form on a sentence strip.

Below the children are using a magnetic number strip to practice their number order recognition and writing.

Below the children are rolling number dice and placing cubes in a bowl to match the number they rolled. 

Below the children are reviewing their number formation in their workbooks. 

Below the children were given cubes and as Morah called out a number, they built a tower to match the number called out then wrote the numbers on paper. 

Living vs. Non Living

In science, Kindergarten is learning what makes something living and non living. Living things need air, food, water and sunlight. Since we are scientists, we took our exploration outdoors and went on a scavenger hunt. Each child received a clip board with a worksheet. On one side they were to draw the living things they saw and on the other side, the non living. They were so creative!

To review our work, we did a worksheet cutting out various pictures and placing them in the right column, living or non living. 

A Good Writer Adds Details to Their Pictures

In our writing units, we learn "Good Writer" rules. We have learned a good writer starts at the left side of the page when writing. We also learned that a good writer must add details to their pictures. Morah began the lesson by drawing a picture of a plain face with eyes, nose and mouth. The more details added, the easier it was for the children to guess which student Morah was drawing. We then went back to our tables and made self portraits. When finished, we met back at the carpet to look at the drawings and based on the details, the children had to guess which friend it was from the class.

More Graphing

In kindergarten we wanted to know which eye color do we have the most of? What better way then to graph our findings.
