I can't believe Spring is finally here and April is almost over! Kindergarten has 12 days left of school. Where did the year go? With the year dwindling down, we still are keeping busy.
Jackie Steffen from the UNL Extension Office came to our classroom for a visit. Our classroom signed up for: Embryology in Your Classroom. She came to read to use about the life cycle of a chicken egg as well as explaining the parts of the egg. She also brought in the incubator along with our chicken eggs.
She is showing us the parts of the incubator and how to care for our eggs.
We learned about the life cycle of a chicken in Science and did a little craft to help remind us.
Our principal had surgery on his right shoulder a week ago. We made him some get well soon cards as well as colored some pictures for him to help me feel better. :)
We reviewed our short vowels this week. We focused on short a and i this week. Here is a craft we did for short a words. They made an umbrella and then on each raindrop they had to write a short a word from our list that we made earlier.
One of our sight words this week was 'find.' We each got these special looking glasses to look around the room to help us 'find' objects and to help us understand more what our sight word means.
Working on our short a craft with our special glasses.
April 21st was National Kindergarten Day!! We celebrated the day by having a pajama day. We read stories about other children and their adventures they have in Kindergarten. We then listed some reasons why we love Kindergarten. Here they are writing 4 reasons on their paper why they love Kindergarten.
Our writing activity.
We also made a quick little craft to show how much we love Kindergarten.
April 22: Earth Day was also during this week. Another fun day for the Kindergarten. We learned about the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We also learned how to sort objects into groups so they can be recycled. We looked for the recycling symbol on objects in our room to see how many things are recyclable in our room. Here are our Earth Day crafts.
Our short i craft. We listed short i words on an anchor chart. They each got a 'gift' to decorate. They then had to write short i words on three 'ribbons' and place them on their gift box.
Our Earth Day craft put up in the hallways.
Writing that went with our Earth Day craft. We listed ways to help protect our Earth.
