Wild Learning in Kindergarten

-Heart word of the week: and


-In math this week, we learned a new math center called Spin and Write.  With this center, we are practicing writing numerals 11-19, comparing quantities, graphing, and counting strategies.

-Our focus book this week was called, Mole and the Baby Bird.  With this book, we discovered the story structure was beginning, middle, and end.  We also talked about plot and characters with this story.

-Our theme for the week was teeth.  We wrote about how to keep them clean.  We also did an experiment where we put some "teeth" (eggs) in pop and kool-aid.  We discovered what would happen to our teeth if we drank to much of those drinks without brushing our teeth.


-During our center time this week, we had a few teeth activities.  In our construction area, we built a dentist office and dentist chairs.  We then used puppets and acted out going to the dentist.  At out art center, we had a yellow tooth and we used a tooth brush and white paint to "brush away the plaque".  We had another center where we used egg cartons as teeth and then practiced brushing and flossing them.
