Week 11:

November 17-21

After learning about insect attributes, the kindergartners had to use their new knowledge to create an insect using maker materials. Everyone's insect had to have a head, thorax, abdomen, antennae, 6 legs, and eyes (there's a couple kids still finishing theirs up!)

We began one of our final projects -- our Eric Carle inspired insects! We don't want to show you the final insects until our Presentations of Learning, but here's a sneak peek.

In literacy block, we started incorporating new writing journals. The kids have been doing a really nice job focusing on their letter formation and adding detailed illustrations. I've also included some videos from our reading group time to give you ideas for practicing at home. In math, we learned how to visually represent numbers using tally marks. We've also been working on writing addition equations.

We enjoyed the beautiful weather this week with a hike and play time in the woods.
