In Pre-K students kicked off the week with our annual Tournament of Champions. This annual field day event was great fun for students and grown ups alike. Students also immersed themselves in their new unit of study on gardening. They eagerly shared their knowledge about gardens, played a seed guessing game, created beautiful sunflowers, and labeled plant parts. Some of the books read included The Carrot Seed, Planting a Rainbow, Sunflower House, and I'm a Seed. Students learned about what plants need to grow and discussed different types of gardens. They also drew their own garden ideas, imagining seeds, flowers, and various vegetables. It has been a week full of fun and learning!
In Kindergarten this week, students continue to make strides in all subject areas. In Fundations, they are reading and writing sentences fluently, and learning to distinguish between narrative fiction and informational books. Readers' Workshop has turned them into avid nonfiction readers who eagerly hold onto the facts they learn. During Writing Workshop, students have been revising their work, adding more details, cutting unnecessary parts, and making thoughtful improvements.
This week’s read aloud featured "National Geographic Kids: All About Me," which the students thoroughly enjoyed. In Math, they are solving addition and subtraction problems with calculators, comparing numbers, and playing games to enhance their addition skills. Our Social Studies lessons have been fascinating as we explore how people live and play around the world. In Science, students are discovering how animals seek out places that provide food, water, and shelter.
