Terrific Tuesday!

We are having a terrific Tuesday and a wonderful beginning to our week in Kindergarten.  This week, we are talking about Apples.  We are doing a lot of fun activities with apples.

"We built an apple with pattern blocks and then counted how many of each block we had". Iker

 "We made apple hats by putting number apples in order from 0-10." Chamberlyn

"We made stain-glass apples for our classroom windows." Cheyenne

"We read a book about apples in Book Club." Bransen

We talked about the way an apple tree looks during all four seasons. "We did an apple tree." Reese

"We colored an apple tree and glued apples on our tree." Bowen

"We made a paper plate apple." Zhaine

Daily 5 is going awesome.  We are working hard in Book Club, iStation and Read to Self.  Guess What! We added something new to Daily 5 this week. We are doing Working with Words.  We are building words and practicing our letters during Working with Words.  It is so fun.

"I made an apple tree with letters." Scarlett

In math this week, we are talking about 2D shapes.  A 2D shape is a flat shape.  The shapes we are talking about are circle, triangle, square, rectangle, rhombus, oval and hexagon.  We have been singing songs about our shapes and we have been drawing our shapes.  We know a lot about our shapes!

We are also talking about our numbers 6 and 7 in math.  We are building our 6 and 7 numbers with Mrs. Feller during Math Centers.

Here are some other fun things we have to share about our week so far:

"The book fair is this week.  We went to the book fair to buy some books.  I bought a Pete the Cat book for our class." Shayla

"We had picture day yesterday.  We took pictures in the cafeteria." Gwen

"We learned about a meteorologist in Calendar time.  A meteorologist is scientist who studies the weather." Bransen
