Hula-baloo, hula-baloo, this is what I say to you..."walk like an elf." "move like a snowflake." Etc.
Counting, counting, counting! By 5s and 10s and 1s. So great to hear all the voices participating in counting and then to hear them counting throughout the day at random.
Winter Carnival...
We saw Santa, went for a ride on the Santa Simulator! Made snowmen out of pom poms. Made cookies of all kinds. Had hands, face and nails painted. Played basketball, lacrosse, soccer and threw snowballs. "Oh what fun it was to be in Kindergarten today! Hey!!!"
Ok, so there were a lot of treats! But man was it fun!!!!!

Math....
Finger flashes! The idea is they can recognize numbers added together using one or both hands holding up fingers. They are to recognize them as quickly as possible. We also took turns counting by 10's up to 100. We also started a new unit about measuring. Recognizing what is shorter or smaller and longer or taller. We demonstrated with Connie and Beth. Beth is taller. Then Connie stood on a chair and we asked who was taller. "Connie!" But she is only taller because she was on a chair. We did a worksheet around shorter and taller. Circling what was shorter on one page and taller on the other. As well as making objects that were shorter or taller than another object.
Language Arts.....
New letter, Zz! We then reviewed all the letters we have learned. We counted that we have learned 24 letters! We also reviewed objects starting with the letter Z. Zebra, zucchini, zig zag, zinnia, zip, zipper, zoo. Some of the kids recognized they have learned all the letters in their name.
We also learned Hh. Horse, hat, hot dog, hamburger, helicopter. We have one more letter to learn when we come back from break! The kids are so excited that we have learned all these letters. It's been so fun to watch them soak up all this knowledge.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL!
We hope you have a wonderful break with family and friends. Enjoy the extra time to rest, relax and be healthy.
We will see you next year!!
