Fabulous Friendship Fruit Salad

This week we participated in an exciting snack activity called Friendship Fruit Salad. We added items to our fruit salad that would make our classroom sweet such as "peachy keen" peaches for students who share and treat their friends with respect, "orange you glad you work hard" oranges for students who always try their best, and "really good apple" pineapple chucks for friends with good hearts who value kindness. We also talked about how we did not want any rotten bananas in our fruit salad (classroom) who would ruin our joyful creation. It was delicious! :)

Comparing Numbers

In math this week, we played many different games that allowed us to compare numbers. We began our week by playing Roll and Record where we would roll a dice and write the number that we got. Next, we would record that number in our graph and race to see which number made it to the top first. This game gave us the opportunity to practice counting and writing our numbers one to five. After that, we participated in a game called Cupcake Match. We counted the dots on the frosting cards and matched them to the cupcake wrappers on the cakes. Please ask us about these games at home, while you enjoy looking at our pictures and videos from our fun week together!

Maps and Math Stations

This week in Social Studies we have been learning about location words. While participating in exciting games such as "Simon Says" and enjoying rousing stories such as "We Are Going on a Bear Hunt," we practiced acting out "on top of, " "in the middle," "above," "below," etc. Then, we created a map of our school and shared where things are located using these words. Finally, we added labels as a finishing touch. Here is a picture of our amazing map creation.

We also enjoyed participating in our math stations this week. We practiced counting quantities with game cards and clothespins, played treasure hunt by counting quantities in our treasure chests, and created hats of our new mascot for ST Math, GiGi the penguin. So much fun!

Science Tools Stations

During these first few weeks of school, we explored some of our science tools during Science Stations such as droppers, clothespins/cups, paper clips/timers, balances, hand lenses, and magnets. Check out our pictures and videos below! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

Welcome to Kindergarten

We have had so much fun these first few weeks of school getting to know our classmates and learning about the special places in our school! One of our favorite activities was hunting for the gingerbread man around our school, as we learned about the different locations we could visit here at Watson. We did not catch him, but we did get to enjoy some of his edible friends that he left for us to snack on. We took some time to get to know our new friends and created a slide show of our pictures, once we each had a chance to take our picture using the Ipad. Please take some time and enjoy our projects from the first few weeks of school. Feel free to leave us a comment and tell us what you think!
