Robots! Coding!! Oh my! Last week we learned how to get a "Beebot"(robot) to move the correct amount to get through a maze. That's coding!!! Who knew Kindergartener's could code?

We also got to play with some mini bots that move based on marker trails. Very cool, so much fun!!

We have officially completed the alphabet. We know our upper case and lower case letters and sounds. 

We colored crowns to celebrate. Well done class!!!

Fizzy painting!!!!

Today we began a 4 session program to work with some folks on building and making things. Our first job today was about creating a bridge that could go over a river.  We had to work in a small group. Here are some snapshots of what we were doing. 

The final products. 

Language Arts.....

We have teamed up with Katie Sullivan's class to listen to the big kids read to us. They are working on reading fluency. We love being read to!!!

 

MATH.....

We continue to master our counting skills from 1-20 and backwards 20-1. 

We've been working on some new games in math as well. Spill the beans with 5 and make a number sentence. So if three beans spilled out and were red, two were on the white side we make an equation saying 3 + 2 =5.
