Poetry and Poetry Writing

We are learning so much about POETRY!
We learned about what poems always have and what poems sometimes have. 
We started discussing and reading all kinds of poetry.
Take a look at some of the poems we are writing together! 









Measurement--Length

We are learning how to measure!!!

We learned two important words:
-Measure
-Length-How long or short something is?

We talked about why we need to know how to measure.
-It helps us to know how long or short something is.
-Measurement helps us to know if something will find or not.

Since we are in Kindergarten, we don't typically use rulers yet.
However, we can use different non-standard items, 
like cubes, links, or paperclips, to help us measure.

Check out our measurement activities.


We had to find things around the room that were longer and shorter
than our popsicle sticks.







We love our Rock and Measure math station!
