Kindergarten Happenings!

WE had a "marbulous" week in kindergarten!  The children filled the marble jar this week!  They worked very hard and we got a lot done.  I was very impressed with all their hard work! 

SLIME TIME!  The kids wanted to open slime this week.  
They really enjoy this messy activity. 
It brought out a lot of smiles and laughter! 


 Math work board was practicing addition. 
The students had to match the correct equations to the sum. 
The equations were on petals and the sum was on the middle of the flower.  
Hunter is very proud of his work! 
 This week we worked on writing our first and last names using lines properly!  
Kacie and Catie are working carefully on their names in this picture!
Math with Mr. Flournoy!  We worked on tens & ones using base ten blocks.  We worked in a large group then broke up into smaller groups. The children are working on regrouping when they get ten.  This is easier for some than others but something we are just beginning to work on.   

 Class Reader coupon!  Will turned in a class reader coupon and chose a book to read to the class. 
 He was so excited and proud to be standing in front of the group and reading! 
 Graphing jellybeans!  The students sorted, counted and recorded how many jellybeans they had in a bag.  They added different colors and counted by tens to see how many they would have if each jellybean was worth 10!  They did an amazing job on this activity! 

 Showing how to make numbers in a different way. 
The students worked on numbers 11-15.  
 Playdo fun! Building, molding and creating with playdo is a lot of fun!  
 Building with geoblocks.  Exploring balance and symmetry!
 Marble runs round 2 
The students had such a great time working with marble runs last week, we did it again with a new twist.  Instead of 6 large paper towel rolls we used 3 large and 3 small and they had to alternate them.  





The best thing of all was everyone was successful and got their marble into the cup at the bottom!  Next week we will have a new challenge for them to try!  
 Writing center creations and more slime time!  
I was able to complete all reading benchmarks this week and I will let you know what level your child is reading at soon.  I was super excited to see that everyone has made improvements and becoming great readers!  

Next Friday we will have our marble celebration.  The spirit day on Friday is bring a stuffed animal. To go along with that we will wear our pajamas and enjoy some extra choice or playground time!  Way to work hard everyone!  I am very proud of you!!
