Happy Dental Week!!

This week we celebrated Dental Health month.  We learned what was healthy and not healthy for our teeth and how to care for them.  The Kinders learned about the letter Ee as well as identifying short and long Ee sounds.  Clouds were our focus in Science this week. It was a crazy and short week for the Kinders - due to getting our early for district games and then a snow day! :) 

We are working on making our Ee's into Elephants! 

Sight word poem. 

Word Work. 

In Science we learned about clouds.  Here we described clouds! 

Our Ee's on our door. 

In the process of making our cloud craft.  We showed the three different clouds we learned on one big cloud.  We learned: cirrus, cumulus and stratus. 

It is also National Dental Health month.  We talked about foods that are healthy and unhealthy for our teeth, how to keep healthy and what happens when we don't.  I boiled some white eggs and soaked them in Kool Aid for two days.  We pretended that those were our 'teeth.'  I showed them a white egg -meaning this is what our teeth looks like when we brush them and take care of them.  I then pulled out a dirty egg.  The dirty egg showed what it would look like if we didn't brush our teeth.  We talked about how to help make those teeth healthy - we have to brush them! 

Brushing our teeth! 

Our tooth craft we made. 

Working with our sight words.  They had to roll, identify the word and then color the word with white crayon. 

Happy Valentine's Day!!

It's been a very busy and fun week for the Kinders!  The letter of the week was letter Gg.  

Our Gg craft was turning our lowercase g into a g full of grapes! 

Starting on our Valentine's Day kisses craft! 

Putting the finishing touches on our g's. 

Our Reading story was Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  We read six different books about Goldilocks and the three bears.  We compared/contrasted them and voted which one was our favorite. 

Here the Kinders are working on beats (syllables) in words. 

Working on our Valentine's craft for our parents! 

Our Valentine's Day candy heart math. We counted our hearts, sorted them by color and then graphed to see which one we had more/less of. Afterwards was the best part - we got to eat them! :) 

We put up our g's on our door. When they left the room they had to say a word that had a /g/ at the beginning or at the end.

Here are some of their Valentine's Day boxes they made.  I apologize that I didn't get every Kinder in the picture with their box. 

We did another Gg activity.  They had to color their gift and on their gift tags they had to write some Gg words. 

Working on identify what vowels are in the words and then writing them in the correct vowel column. 

Working with our sight words - they had to unscramble our sight words and identify what word it spelled. 

We read a book There's a Giraffe in My Soup.  It is a cute little story about a boy that goes to a restaurant and every time the waiter brings out another bowl of soup, there is a different animal in it.  They had to imagine that they went to that restaurant.  What kind of animal was in your soup?  Here are some of their writings.  

In Social Studies we learned about Presidents.  The two presidents that we learned were: George Washington and Abe Lincoln.  We don't have school on President's Day so that is why we did it early.  

Working on our George Washington craft. 

Here are our Valentine's Day Kisses all done! They turned out kiss-eriffic! 

Our February door decor. 

Here are our Abe Lincolns.  They had to think of something they would put in their hat, like what Abe Lincoln did with his.  The flap opens up and then shows what they would hide in their hats.
