We have been planting even more this week, by adding wheat grass to our already sprouting grass, and also planted white and black beans. We tallied the results of whose grass had sprouted on Monday, using tally marks.
We made "dirt cups" simulating the dirt and mud with Oreos and chocolate pudding, and of course a gummy worm!
Fine Motor:
The children measured themselves and made a JK Flower Garden with stems representing their heights! They decorated their flowers with sequins and talked about who is taller, shorter or the same height.
Literacy:
The children made their own books on Growing Things" and illustrated them. Each of their stories has a beginning, middle and end. It's fun to hear about their characters and settings!
Happy Birthday to Brandon!
Math & Science:
We are learning more about different stages of the life cycle of plants and are most excited that fruits and vegetables actually begin as flowers! It's nice to hear their vocabularies expand as they add words like "fragrant", or "colorful" to descriptions.
We have all progressed to our third page of sight words on roll, read and write. If the children don't know the sight word they locate the letter and letter sound at the beginning and ending.
We are all practicing our Kindergarten behavior when earning ninjas to put on our bulletin board. Traveling through the school while respecting the artwork on the walls as well as silently walking are skills they have all mastered!
We learned about chicks and watched the hatching of eggs before making our own eggs to sit on to incubate. The children loved watching videos of baby chicks hatching! We talked about the incubation period and the life cycle of the chicks. They all kind of want a baby chick now! :)
Have a lovely long weekend!
