On Monday, we made a new book for our book bin drawers called "Down on the Farm." This book has movable animals that are used to tell the story. We also wrote in our farm journal about pigs. We learned that the male pig is a boar, the female is a sow, and a baby is a piglet. Pigs dig in the mud with their snouts to find food. They also roll in mud to stay cool and protect their skin from the sun. In the afternoon, our class went to music. We have been practicing very hard for our Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony! We hope that you can come!
On Tuesday, we went to the park on a field trip for Outside Day. Our class had lots of fun playing on the equipment and playing games with other classes. They also got to eat a picnic lunch before walking back for specials. It was a fun day with great weather!
Today we worked in our farm journals again. We learned about chickens and wrote about them. We also practiced addition and graphing. We did a fun sheep activity where we had to estimate how many cotton balls would fill up the sheep's coat, then we checked our answer with real cotton. We also got to spend some time working on puzzles for P day!
Later this week, we will be learning about the farmer's role in running a farm and talking about animal babies. We will also read one of my favorite books, "Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type" and will be writing our own letter to Farmer Brown! The PTA is celebrating Kindergarten as the grade of the month this month. On Friday, they will be bringing us popcorn to enjoy while we watch a farm video.

Monday-No School!
Tuesday-S for Silly Socks Day! We will also be doing Spooky activities in kindergarten!
