February 22-26

Good Afternoon All,

This week we will be finding out where a snowball will last the longest. Is it outside, inside, or in the freezer??? The kids will make a prediction first, then we will collect snow in baby food jars and put them in these three places, checking to see how they are doing through out the day. We will also be experimenting how it feels to write in different textures (i.e. sand, shaving cream, water, paint) with their fingers.

We will be working on cutting, math, and writing our names! !

This morning we got to visit our friends and Group 1 and work in the Group 3 room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a lot of fun. The kids got to do math with the Group 1 students, we had snack and colored in the Group 3 room, and then had lunch with Group 1!! THANK YOU GROUP 1, 2, and 3 for letting us come and visit!!!

We played out side today at the big playground. The kids have been working on building snowman and other things in the field out front.

Have a great week!!

February 15-19

Hello,

I hope you all had a great long weekend!!!!!

Today we are making predictions and testing to see if we were right or not. We are seeing which objects from around the classroom will sink or float in a tub of water. We made a chart of the object that we will be using and what the kids prediction is. Please look for it on the bulletin board as you enter the room.

We are also working on a song about the 12 Months in the Year. It is sung to the tune of "10 Little Indians":
January, February, March and April
May, June, July and August
September, October, November, December
12 months and a year.

This week during Kindergarten Time we will be working on Letters and what sounds they make. We are also working on numbers recognizing them and putting them in order (1-10). We are also working on writing our names on our own.

Our next experiment is how to make play dough!!! We will be learning the ingredients that goes into the mix and find out how we can make the play dough colorful and smell good.


Have a GREAT week!! Enjoy the snow!!!!
