Kindergarten Graduation

We had our kindergarten graduation on Friday and it was great!  Here are some pictures with all our graduation gear on.  Please email me if you would like a copy of the picture file emailed to your personal account!

For the remaining days of kindergarten, we have some fun activities planned!  We will be writing letters to both the upcoming kindergarten class and our first grade/multiage teachers for next year.  We will be showing the current 4K students around the classroom tomorrow, going on a class picnic on Thursday, and having a read-in day on Friday (see the note that will come home today).  Next week, there are other fun school-wide activities planned and we will be packing up all our belongings to prepare for summer vacation!

May 5

Over the last few weeks, we have been reading several Eric Carle books and doing some activities with them.  Eric Carle uses an interesting technique for making his pictures.  He paints tissue paper and then cuts all his shapes and pictures from the painted tissue.  We tried this in the classroom and had a ton of fun making our own artwork!

We have been practicing addition and subtraction in many different ways.  A fun math game that we out into our math centers is a popcorn game.  Ask your child about this!  We have been reviewing many math concepts such as greater than/less than/equal to, breaking apart numbers, patterns, 3D shapes, and many others!

We have also been learning a lot about insects and plants.  We planted seeds and have been watching them grow for the last couple of weeks.  We also got our caterpillars and watched them grow from 5 mm to 35 mm and now they have changed into chrysalises.  We are excited to see what happens next!

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks of school!

Here are some of our creations from recyclables on Earth Day.

Artwork in the style of Eric Carle

Math fact flowers

We planted seed and they have started growing! Your child will be bringing them home this week to be planted in a larger pot or garden!

Or caterpillars turned into chrysalises. When we came back from the weekend today, 2 of our butterflies have hatched! We got to hold the butterflies and let them fly around the room.  We will post pictures of this soon!

Today we made pictures of our own bug jar! We will be writing facts we learned about specific bugs today too!
