Capacity

 Math workshop was all about capacity this week!
We learned that capacity means: how much something can hold
We explored capacity using different size containers and materials. 
We practiced measuring and checking to see which containers hold more or less.

Encourage your child to use their knowledge of capacity at home while cleaning up toys 
(to see if all of their toys will fit into a toy box), in the kitchen while they help you
wash dishes (pouring water into cups or pans), or even working in the garden with soil and sand. 
They love showing off what they learned!!!

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!
