Kindergarten Happenings

We began our week with a buddy activity using tangrams.  The children worked with their buddies to fill in some pictures using tangrams, created their own animals and tried to complete some shape challenges.  They had a great time exploring and working with their buddies.  




 Work boards: 
Cate is working on CCVC words.  
The children had the choice of using cards & magnetic letters or writing the words on a sheet.  

 States of Matter: Solids, Liquids, Gas
We talked about, explored and learned about the different states of matter.  
Below is a picture of the children getting ready for a liquid race.  They had to predict which liquid would be the fastest and the slowest.  We used shaving cream, water color paint & glue.  We also did a class sample using baby oil, poster paint & soap.  The kids loved this activity.  

 Making it rain.  We also observed ice melting and the steam exit the hot pot.  
 STAR STUDENT:  Cate was our star student this week.  She did a great job sharing her pictures and information sheets.  She also enjoyed sharing a few things from home.  A book she enjoys reading, stuffed animal and a tangram puzzle she has.  Way to go Cate!  You did an amazing job!!
