We had another busy week here in Kindergarten! We finished our poetry book and sent it off to be published through Student Treasures! Our publishing date is tomorrow and we will be getting our books in about 3 weeks, just in time for our poetry cafe! Here are a few pictures of the students finishing their poems and illustrations.
Like I mentioned in the last post, a duck laid eggs on our playground under our slide. The students are so obsessed and love to look at them! The momma has been sitting on her eggs and in order for us not to overwhelm her and not get too close, the students observed from the playground equipment. They all stayed like this to observe for a good 15 minutes!
We were also able to get out our bikes this week! We had to learn the rules of the road and how to be safe. The students enjoyed riding them and waited in line over and over to have their turn.
We have continued to watch our caterpillars as well! They have mostly gone to the top of the cup and formed a J shape. I have a feeling that when we get back to school on Monday, they will all have formed their chrysalis! The kids can't wait to see what happens to them!
We spent some time this week reading books by the author Nancy Viau. We did a Skype visit through Skype in the Classroom in order to learn about her inspirations and ask her some questions.
The students enjoyed this visit! We have one more coming up in a couple of weeks that the students are excited about as well!
Since the students have been so obsessed with the duck eggs on our playground, we decided to go outside and draw a map of our playground from above. After we drew our playground map, we put an X to mark where the eggs were.
The students spread out around the playground in order to get different views.
After we were done with our maps, we looked up our playground on Google Earth to compare. We had a few volunteers come up and share their maps and then we looked at them next to our actual playground. They all did a great job documenting.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!
