We have been talking about the differences between needs and wants. We have learned that a need is something that you can not live without like food, water, shelter, and clothes. A want is something that you would like to have but could live without like toys. games, and even books. This week we had the opportunity to explore different items in our lives that are both needs and wants. We played a game where we drew pictures of objects and sorted them by needs and wants. Then, we used grocery ads to search for needs/wants. We created a mat that we used to sort items by needs/wants. Finally, we used the app Chatterpix where we took pictures of objects and made them talk, explaining whether they were a need or a want. Here are some pictures from our fun week. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think! Thanks!

Amazing Addition
In math this week we continued our study of addition. We enjoyed playing a game of Roll and Record where we practiced adding two numbers together to find the sum. Our favorite activity this week was domino addition where we wrote addition problems that we created from dominos. We had so much fun solving addition problem after addition problem. Here are some cute pictures from this activity. Ask us how to solve your favorite addition problem for you!

Exciting Energy
This week we learned about the science of sound and how sound energy can be used to make music. We learned how our vocal chords work and felt them vibrate. Then, we explored musical instruments made out of recyclable materials. We also created our own shakers and had a Christmas sing-a-long. Here are some pictures and videos from our explorations with sound:
Spreading Christmas Joy and Kindness
This week our Kindergartners took time to spread love and joy to our school community by creating handmade candy cane huggers and delivering them to our faculty and staff. We told each one of them how much we appreciated them and what they meant to us. Here is a show from our special day of spreading kindness to others.

Thanksgiving Musical
We had wished that you were able to come and see our Thanksgiving Musical and Feast today, however, COVID had other plans. So, we decided to share this recording with you instead. This was our culminating activity for our study of Thanksgiving. Our students created their costumes and learned the songs and motions during the week. This video is a recording of our live performance from today. We hope that you enjoy it! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think. I have also included some pictures from our Thanksgiving Musical today. Happy Thanksgiving!
