A Little Social Studies...

Our Social Studies lesson this week was about

similarities and differences.

We discussed our families and talked about what

makes us similar and different.

 

We drew a picture of our families and shared

them with our pair-share partners.

 

 

Making Sets

 

We learned that a set is a group of objects.

We made some sets using our math tools.

 

 

 

 

We LOVE to move!

So, we practiced making sets by using different body parts.

I would call out a set to make; for example:

Make a set of 3 noses.

Make a set of 4 eyes.

Make a set of 6 feet.

 

The kiddos did a great job and loved getting

together and being creative!

Problem Solving

 

Problem solving is so important in Kindergarten.

We practice our "thinking" skills each day!

Take a look at some of our creative thinking

problems from this week:

 

What's in my box? It's red, round and has holes.

This friend thought it might be a bouncing ball.

Here is a list of predictions my kiddos came up

with about what was in my box.

They came up with some great guesses!

 

It was a BUTTON!

 

 

Here are some more problems we solved:

 

 

 

 

 

Math Workshop Goodies!

 

Math Workshop is the BEST!

Since we are working on our counting skills, we made a counting book.

Check out our counting books:

1 lady bug

3 boxes

4 dots

 

 

 

 

Also, we worked on writing our numbers (0-5).

We played a game called Roll and Record to help us practice

counting, subitizing, and writing our numbers.

Writer's Workshop

This week, we began "true" Writer's Workshop. In Kindergarten, writing is so important and goes hand and hand with reading. Check out some of the things we have been working on:

Our "idea" map

We are learning we can write in different ways.

Our Writer's Workshop expectations

We went book shopping!

It was time for some new books!

We went book shopping on Monday for

some new texts for our book boxes.

 I love seeing my little readers excited about reading!!!

Dot Math



What can you do with 10 black dots?

We read Donald Crew's 10 Black Dots.

Mr. Crew uses dots in his story

to make his illustrations.



 

 

So, we got creative!

 Each student received

an amount of dot stickers 

(0-5) to create a dot picture.

Check out how creative my friends are!

Max used 2 dots to create basketballs.

3 dots are a snowman's buttons

Ojas used 3 dots to make a snake.

Scotty used 2 dots to make Olaf's feet.

Brooke used 4 dots to make her flowers.
