Today was another busy day in Kindergarten! We talked about Spring and bird nests. We read a book about different types of nests and then used plasticine, raffia and other materials to build our own nests. Tomorrow we will write about our creations using describing words. We are looking for a real birds' nest. If you have one at home and are willing to send it in so we can examine it, it would be much appreciated. We promise to take good care of it!! We are also looking for robin eggshells.
Our letter of the week is "n" and our word of the week is "no". Please continue to point these out during nightly reading. Ask your kids about our "no" chant. Please remember to return the Snuggle folders every Friday. If they are not returned by Monday (the latest), your child will not get a new book that week because we are on a rotation system with the books.
In Math, we have been learning about 3d shapes as well as the difference between 2D and 3D. The students are amazing at naming the 3d shapes. Ask your child what shape things are around your house (pick things that are the shape of spheres, cylinders, cubes, rectangular prisms, cones, pyramids). We have also been working on measuring things in the classroom using non-standard measurement. They are having a blast! We even measured our height and will compare how tall we have grown in 2 months.
A gentle reminder to please pack spoons and forks if your child needs them in their lunch. The school doesn't provide them.
Please check back tomorrow to see pictures of the students hard at work.
