The question that everyone wants to know.... will we have six more weeks of Winter or six more weeks until Spring? Here were our Kindergarten predictions about Phil the Groundhog. The ones with yellow paper are the ones who thought that he will see his shadow and the ones with blue paper thought he would not.
February 2nd has come and gone! Phil the Groundhog did see his shadow - 6 more weeks of Winter! I am not sure how I feel about that but I had some Kinders that were happy for more snow.
These last two weeks sure have flown by! January came to and end and it is already February! Here the Kinders are working on their amazing words in their journals. One of our words was: world.
We started our money unit. We first learned how to identify heads and tails. We played a game heads or tails. They had to mark each time they got one or the other to see which side they got most of.
We learned about the different types of land forms - so of course we had to learn about volcanoes and make our own!
For one of our handwriting activities we read the book: The Mitten by Jan Brett. They had to choose one of our animals from a calendar (yes a calendar-got to love those with big pictures of animals) and glue it in their mitten. They turned out super duper cute!
Working on heads/tails with our new coin: nickel!
Writing the room; finding the letter Ll in words.
One of our reading stories from the week was: The Three Little Pigs. They had to decide what they would build their house out of: straw, sticks or bricks. To incorporate writing in this they had to tell a reason why they choose to build their house that way.
Ll is for lady bug!
Putting our groundhogs together.
Working with partners on counting coins.
