Measuring Up!

This week, we added new measurement activities to our math center. Students compare various objects to see which ones are lighter, which ones are heavier, and which ones equal each other.

Fairy Tale Dress-Up Day

We had a class of fairy tale characters- a wolf, a bear, a mouse, a troll, Peter Pan, and lots of princesses.








We had "High Tea Time" with flavored tea and cookies. Yum!


The kindergarten teachers dressed as Goldilocks, the grandmother from Little Red Riding Hood, one of the three little pigs, and Little Red Riding Hood.

The 3 Little Pigs

We are learning about words that tell the order in which events happen. We read Alaska's Three Pigs. Then we made a flow map showing the sequence of events in the story.











Today, we read several versions of The Three Little Pigs. Afterward we acted out the story.

New Year's

We made snowmen glyphs. Each piece of our snowman represents something about us. The color of our hat tells if we are a girl or a boy. The color of the strip on our hat tells how old we are. The color of the scarf tells whether we have ever seen snow. We have hearts or snowflakes on our hats to tell whether we like mittens of gloves the best and the dots on our scarf tell if we have brothers and/or sisters.




We learned about new year's customs and traditions. We made a circle map to show what we learned. We made our own resolutions for the new year.



We subtracted using black eyed peas. We rolled a die to see how many black eyed peas we would eat.
