We sang a song about the exclamation point and talked about its uses. I had the kids take pictures of their best "surprised," "excited," or "scared" faces to help them remember when to use one.
We learned about mammals this week and made some mammals to live on our "island." We have ocean, desert, grass-lands, and forest mammals.
We talked about "Bossy R" this week and how when the "R" is with a vowel, it doesn’t let the vowel say anything (especially er, ur, and ir). We focused on "er" this week and in honor of "er," we made monsters! The kids designed their own monsters and then we wrote some descriptions of our monsters using body part words. They turned out pretty cute!
We had an assembly on Tuesday where we recognized the birthdays for the rest of the year as well as some special ESLR awards. Evelyn received a special ESLR award. Congratulations Evie!
We continued our talk about money this week and drew out the different ways to make 1, 5, 10, or 25 cents using different coins. Then we practiced making exchanges using replica coins.
We have read a lot about plants this week; we have learned about the life cycle of a plant and we practiced sequencing how plants grow. We also learned about the main plant parts and what function they serve.
Friday was "crazy hair day" and the winner of the craziest hair in our classroom award went to Mac. His hair was crazy!
Kindergarten worked with a hundreds chart this week. They looked at different patterns and became accustomed to where to find certain numbers.
We read a book and a poem about amphibians. The kids chose toads, frogs, salamanders or newts to draw. We learned that amphibians can live on land and in the water.
