    Whats Hop-pening in Kindergarten


    Snowpeople at School!
    We made paper plate snowmen this week. We attached a bunny rabbit with a piece of yarn. These helped us to learn the poem A Chubby Little Snowman. We recited this poem all week and even read it during pocket chart center time. We also traced round objects to make a snowman on paper. We covered the outline with mini marshmallows. These were fun to make and smell great. We counted how many marshmallows we used. We also made glue snowmen...we were able to dump glue onto wax paper and add the details like buttons and pipe cleaner arms...these will be drying over the weekend! Messy and fun!! spelled a word and then read the word really really slowly. b...o..o...k..We identified nouns, adjectives from the story and wrote them on a snowman shaped graphic organizer.

    Math
    We spent our math time counting and performing other assessment tasks for Mrs. K this week...report card time!

    Handwriting
    We worked on writing the lowercase letters w and y this week.

    Religion
    We spent our time reading the Bible stories that led up to our reading for Mass this Friday. We also went to the church each day to practice reading and speaking into the microphone. They did SO well!

    Social Studies
    We learned all about Martin Luther King on Monday. The day started off a little rough. I had hung signs up in the room. No Blue Eyes-Couldnt enter the regular door if you had blue eyes. No Brown Hair-Couldnt sit at the Lilypad if you had brown hair. No GirlsThe girls could not sit at the pond for our morning meeting. No BoysThe boys had to line up at the other door when we took our bathroom break. At first the kids laughed and enjoyed the silly rules. But when they had to sit on the floor instead of carpet, or walk down the long way to the other door, some started to get upset. We only kept these rules until our morning meeting started, but that was long enough. Then we discussed how we felt: sad, bad, mad, not fair. All these feeling were the perfect leadin to discussing a man who wanted everyone to be treated equally. We talked how similar being fair and nice was to following Gods Golden rule. We learned a fun song sung to the tune of BINGO to help reinforce why MLK is honored today. We listened to his I have a dream speech. While listening we painted and colored and pasted images of him. For Writers Workshop we wrote how we felt about him.
