Arrangements of Tiles in Math

Kindergarten students are busy at work making arrangements of tiles.  They need to follow rules to arrange their tiles.  They have to use a certain number of tiles.  The tiles need to lay flat and touch on a full side.  Students will continue working on these arrangements after the break.  They will explore the groups within each arrangement and use the groupings to write addition equations. 

Stone Soup

"Stone Soup is what you need when you have some friends to feed."  We made stone soup today.  Kindergarten students peeled and cut up vegetables.  We put all of our vegetables in a big pot and cooked it all day.  It smelled amazing!  Tomorrow we will get a chance to taste our soup.  It is sure to be delicious.  This project was based on the book, Some Friends to Feed: The Story of Stone Soup, by Pete Seeger.  It is a retelling of a folk tale.

Wednesday Outdoor Time

What a wonderful morning we had on Wednesday!  Kindergarten Scientists hiked through the woods, made snow volcanoes, and drew in the snow with markers and sticks.  We saw evidence of animals in the woods.  These observant students noticed many animal tracks and spider webs with snow glistening on them.   Amazing!
