Valentine's Day - President's Day

February is halfway over.....where did the time go? 

Here are our bees for Valentine's Day.   Will you 'bee' our Valentine? :) 

Our February door decor.  They each got to decorate their own hearts. 

In Science we learned about the Sun and shadows.  

Here is our Sun writing craft.  We listed some adjectives that they learned about the sun.  They had to write their adjectives about the Sun in their writing. 

Our letter of the week was letter Gg.  Gg is for grapes. 

We listed some Gg words on our chart paper.  We reviewed our Gg words.  They decorated their gifts.  Afterwards they had to choose 5 Gg words to write on their tags to put on their gift. 

This week in reading we read lots of stories about Goldilocks.  

We worked with our vowels again in words.  We sorted out CVC words based on what the middle vowel was. 

We learned about Presidents this week as well.  We focused on our current president: Donald Trump and then learned about George Washington and Abe Lincoln. 

Here are the Kinder George Washington's! 

Valentine's Day Math.  They each got a box of candy hearts.  They separated the hearts based on their colors, counted them and then colored their graph. 

Their Valentine's Day boxes!  They all turned our adorable. 

The Kinder Abe Lincolns. 

100th Day Hooray!

It has been crazy these last two weeks.  During these last two weeks, we have learned two letters: Hh and Ll, we learned about the seasons, celebrated our 100th day of school, talked about Groundhogs Day and did our Three Little Pigs unit. 

Hh is for house.  

In Science we learned about the four seasons.  We did one season a day during our week.  In each season they had to think about the things that they can do, see or what happens in that season.  Their ideas were then wrote on our Season charts. 

Our four season tree.  We glued all the season trees together to make one season tree.  They had to cut and color 3-4 pictures that matches each season. 

Ll is for Lion! 

We retold our Three Little Pigs story by drawing the houses that matched each pig. 

They then had to imagine they were a pig building a house.  What would you build your house out of - straw, sticks or bricks?

Most of them choose bricks.  

We learned about Groundhogs Day and what it means if Phil sees his shadow or not.  We had a class poll on if we think he will see his shadow or not.  The ones with blue construction paper behind their writing said that Phil will not see his shadow and the ones with yellow thought he will see his shadow. 

This week we celebrated our 100th day!  They had to come up with a picture using 100 items.  They all did a wonderful job!  Very creative. 

Our door on the 100th day! 

Making our 100th day hats. 

They each got 10 strips and had to dot paint 10 dots on each strip - making 100 dots!

Can you finish your lollipop in 100 licks?  A little math game we did recognizing our numbers while eating a sucker! 

To end our Three Little Pigs unit we did a STEM challenge.  They had to build a house that wouldn't get blown down by the wolf aka Mrs. Bartling's blow dryer! 

They all did a wonderful job designing their houses.  They all stayed up for the wolf except for one house.   That one house that fell down- the Kinder stated that they knew what they needed to do to fix it.  They fixed it and WAHLA - it didn't blow down!
