Caza de Insectos!

MORNING MEETING....
Morning greeting started off with a high 5 to our friend next to us and saying "Good Morning (name of friend)".  We read Crictor the Boa Constrictor by Tomi Ungerer. Crictor is a snake that can make letters and numbers. He's a good friend. And he is very helpful, especially when burglars come around. We made predictions along the way about what we thought might happen next.


MATH.....
We played the matching game again. We are really doing great with our colors and recognizing the shapes.  We also worked on the white boards, recognizing numbers and learning to write them the correct way.





LANGUAGE ARTS....Letters with ECHO
We reviewed our letters Bb, Tt, Ff with ECHO. We are working on recognizing the name of the letter, what the picture clue is as well as how to say the sound of the letter correctly.

We wrote a whole class thank you note to Sugarbush for the use of the buildings. Each of the kids gave ideas and we wrote the top favorite thoughts and we all signed it.


Recess/Free Choice......
Rolling down the hill. Doesn't get much better than that when you're
in Kindergarten. 

Duck Duck Goose!

BUGS....
 Nora found a caterpillar, she was very excited about it. (It's sitting next to her on the rock.) :-)

Sedsel found a woolly bear caterpillar. Teeny tiny!

SPANISH with Josh...
This class is loving their time with Josh learning Spanish. They are singing many interactive songs in Spanish class. They were also learning colors in Spanish and recognizing the color that Josh said on their clothes. 

SCIENCE.....
Then we went on a "caza de insectos!"(Bug Hunt) for the end of the day activity. We all had a jar and went outside ran around finding insects.
We learned that a lot of bugs have wings. These bugs all had legs. Some were "jumpy legs!" Many of us were able to count how many legs there were on their bugs.  Some had 4 some had 6. We looked really hard to find  out if our bugs had antennes. We collected bees, Japanese beetles, crickets. 

We're going on a hunt, catching bugs of different kinds. 

 Catching bees and crickets and grasshoppers.

Full Disclosure: No insects, bugs or humans were stomped on, quashed or pulled apart in any way. All were returned to their original habitat. 


SNACK is needed for our Kindergarten friends. Please if you can, send in snacks of any kind ie: goldfish, pretzels, crackers, granola bars. We appreciate anything you can do. They are hungry littles, and we want to nourish them as best we can. Thank you.



Have a wonderful weekend! 
Enjoy this weather. We will see you all back at school on our stomping grounds. One last thought, now that we will be back at school we do not need kids to bring in toys or stuffed animals.  Thanks!
