Wow! What a busy week we have had this week in Kindergarten! We have been studying about technology in the past and present. We learned how technology is any tool that makes a task easier. We discovered that even a pencil or crayon can be a type of technology. We learned about how in the past people used chalk to write.
We also took time to study about how our technology tools have evolved over the years. Some of the items that we talked about included how we used to use candles and now use lightbulbs for lighting, we used to use a broom and rug beater and now use vacuums, and how we used to use a brick oven and now use conventional ovens for cooking. Here are a couple of pictures from our past and present technology sorting game that we played.
In science, we learned about transportation and the way that things move. We enjoyed reading stories about transportation vehicles and learning songs like the "Wheels on the Bus". We learned how buses can move forward and backwards, left and right, and that the windows can go up and down. We also talked about the different ways that fire trucks can move and the sounds that they make. Then, we created our very own shape buses and participated in a guiding drawing of a fire truck. Here are some pictures of our fabulous creations.
Finally, in math we studied the numbers six through ten this week. We talked about how to write these numbers and then played a game called "Snap it!" where we discovered what combinations of numbers make the numbers six through ten. We created a video of our game and took several pictures. We hope that you enjoy getting to see them below. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think of our fun week together!
