Week 8 Has Been Great! Sequencing, Nouns, and Pumpkin Planting!

What a wonderful eighth week we have had in Kindergarten! We enjoyed learning about the plot in several farm animal stories. We talked about how you can sequence events in a story and how sequencing helps you remember what happened in a story that you have read. Here are some of the stories that we enjoyed and the sequencing activities we did with them:

Rosie's Walk

The Little Red Hen

The Cow Who Clucked

We also reviewed nouns by drawing a person, place, or thing, and then, participating in a noun sort. Here are our nouns: 

People

Things

In science, we were introduced to plants on a farm. We created circle maps to record the crops that can be grown on a farm. We also enjoyed the story, Plants on a Farm. 

In math, we practiced collecting data and graphing that information in a bar graph by recording our classmates' favorite farm animals. 

Finally, we kicked off our "It's Alive" PBL with a study of farm animals and an opportunity to open a pumpkin and plant our very own pumpkin seeds. This was our favorite activity of the week! Just look at those smiles! :)
