“Camp Kindergarten”

Hi Campers,

In honor of a wonderful year, we will celebrate by having “Camp Kindergarten” the last few weeks of school.  The children will experience a camping themed activity each day and we hope everyone can participate!   Parents, we need your help!  Please write a letter to your child as if he/she were really away at camp.  You may place the letter in an envelope addressed to your child or in a Ziploc baggie.  We are asking that the letter be sent in your child’s blue folder by the first day of camp, which is Monday, May 23rd.  It will truly make your child’s day to receive a letter during “mail call” at camp.  Thanks for your help and support.

Day 1/ Monday, May 23^rd  - Camp Read-a-Lot

We will be reading with friends!  Wear your pajamas and bring several favorite books from home.  You can also bring a flashlight, pillow, and a blanket.  Label everything!!  There may be some “special” readers coming to visit our class this day!! Don’t forget to send in your letter for your child.

Day 2/ Tuesday, May 24^th  - Camp Think-a-Lot

Wear silly clothes.  Bring puzzles from home.  This can include word puzzles, word search, or jigsaw type puzzles.

We will eat our snack outside.  Students may dress as what they want to be when they grow up.

Day 7/ Thursday, June 2^nd  - Camp Find-a-Lot

We will go on a school scavenger hunt and work on problem solving with hidden picture activities.  From 2:00-2:45 your child will be able to use his/her hand held electronic games if he/she chooses to bring one from home.  Please be aware that we are not responsible for any lost or damaged items.  We ask that you are mindful of the content you are sending and that you provide a game that is appropriate for school.  If students are not using electronics appropriately we will ask for the devices to be put away in their backpacks.  Label all items!  We will also have our end of the year party this day.

Last Day of School-June 3^rd    - WE WILL CELEBRATE THE BEGINNING OF SUMMER!

We hope that everyone chooses to participate, however, dressing up and bringing items from home are completely optional.  Thank you for all of your help in making this an exciting end to a wonderful year!

Measurement: Lenght and Capacity

This week, we continued to explore measurement. 

We had a blast measuring our feet and different items around our room. 

We used non-standard measuring tools to help us measure. 

Some of these tools were our links and unifix cubes.

We applied it to our shoes...

 How do we find out if they will fit our feet?

We have to measure! 

So, we practiced measuring our shoes and comparing
our shoe measurements to a friend's.

We used cubes as our measuring tool.

We made these for Open House.....you will have to wait and see! 

Capacity

How much will this container hold???

We learned about capacity.

 Capacity is "how much" something can hold.

We looked at different containers and made 

predictions about how much we thought they could hold. 

Then, we filled our containers with different 

objects (cubes, counters, beans, rice, etc.) 

and counted how many scoops or the number of cubes it would hold. 

We LOVED filling these containers to their max capacity!!!

Lastly, we ordered our containers from the least to greatest amount of capacity.

Check out our hard work!!!
