Story Time with Ms. Tricoli

For story time this week, Ms. Tricoli read the book Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree by Robert Barry. They created a bubble map of other words that mean "big," looked at problem and solution, and sequenced the animals in the story.

Making Positional Patterns

We are learning to make positional patterns. This week, we went to the computer lab and used Pixie to rotate and flip pictures in order to make positional patterns. After we created our patterns, we labeled them.

Science Fair Winners

At this week's pride rally, the winners of the Moseley science fair were announced. Julia won first place in kindergarten for her popcorn science fair project and Ameer won second place for his seed sprouting experiment.

Socks and Shades

In honor of the letter "S", we wore silly socks and shades. We read the book, A Pair of Socks, by Stuart J. Murphy. Then we made patterns on paper socks and sorted them to create a sock sort class book.

Too Many Tamales

This week, we started our study of Christmas celebrations around the world. One of the countries we learned about was Mexico. We read The Legend of the Poinsettia and learned about Las Posadas. We made paper poinsettias to help us remember what we learned. We also read the book Too Many Tamales and ate homemade tamales made by Natalie's grandmother. After eating tamales, we made a real-object graph to show who liked the tamales and who did not. Most of us loved the tamales and wished we could have eaten more!
