Mrs. Deaton's Kinders: March was BUSY!!

We had a lot happen in March that we didn't have a chance to share with everyone! We learned a lot about 3D shapes during March. We learned the names of the shapes, described characteristics of them and compared them to each other. We had an awesome time playing a 3D Shape Blind Bag game together in class. We took turns reaching into a bag and feeling a 3D shape. Then, we described the shape for our group so they could guess what shape we had. It was super fun!!

Another awesome thing that happened in March was our BOOSTERTHON FUN RUN! Our PTSO helped us with this awesome fundraiser for our school. We collected pledges for the laps we were going to run, won some awesome prizes and earned some wonderful rewards. Guess what!! On the day of our Fun Run, we ALL ran 35 laps! That was a lot of running! The weather was so cold so instead of running outside, we got to run inside the gym. It was so much fun. The girls ran first and then the boys. While we ran around and around, a lot of people were cheering us on (thank you to the parents who came to support us) and we got to here some really fun, loud music. The day was fantastic and one that we won't ever forget. Check out the cool pictures from our group... The Dynamic Deatons!

We forgot to share some other very wild news with everyone! On March 17, a LEPRECHAUN visited our classroom while we were gone to Specials. He made a HUGE mess in our room and let it for us to clean up. He left us a note on the SmartBoard that told us his name was Lucky. He was searching for his gold but didn't find it in our classroom. I guess he left to go to the end of the rainbow. Enjoy these silly pictures (pure JOY for these kiddos) from St. Patrick's Day!!

Another math skill we worked on in March was addition and arrays. We learned about making arrays to help us count and add. We even talked about how using an array helps us multiply. We have some smart kids on our hands!
