Wild Learning in the Kindergarten Jungle
-Heart word of the week: you
-This week, we practiced using the reading strategy of making inferences. We used our brain and clues from the book to come up with an idea. We also practiced summarizing some of the books we read this week.
-In writing, we were introduced to using the words around the room to help us spell some of our words correctly. We also wrote a winter story this week where we practice again using adjectives.
-During our math time, we were introduced to some new centers. One center helps us practice counting and comparing quantities and is called Beat You to 20. Another is called: Which is heavier? With this center, we are using a balance to compare weights of various objects. The last new center of the week is sea creatures. With our sea creatures, we practice counting, sorting, patterning, and much more!
-We had many winter related centers during our community centers this week. We had snow in our science center and we made many discoveries on how to make ice, how to melt it, etc. We also practiced our building skills with our boxes that we turned into ice bergs.
-We did a science experiment to figure out the fastest way to melt ice. We used a hammer, a hair dryer, a lamp, our hands, hot water, our breath, and salt. We discovered that the hammer was the fastest because it broke the ice into small piece, which melted faster. Salt was the slowest. We then discussed why they use salt out on the roads instead of one of the faster methods.
