Wild Learning in Kindergarten

-Heart word of the week: look

-This week, we focused on some of the common features of non-fiction books.

-During our writing time, we were introduced to how to write poems.  This week we started learning about list poems.

-In math, we were introduced to new pictures for our calendar.  Each of these calendar pictures shows a different device that we can use to measure.  All of the devices either measure length, weight, time, or temperature.

-Our science focus this week was on plants.  We talked about various types of plants.  We then did a nature walk to practice spotting the plants.  We also talked about what plants need in order to grow.  We started an experiment to prove whether or not plants actually need what we came up with.

-Our community centers were full of plant activities.  Our dramatic play turned into a flower shop.  We enjoyed creating bouquets and delivering them to our friends in the classroom.  We also painted a flower this week using our hands, feet, and arms!  At our science center, we are exploring dirt with some lima beans in it.  In addition, we planted some grass seed in individual cups.  We are looking forward to watching it grow!
