Report Writing

We loved working together to find facts about animals in nonfiction books. After reading, writing facts, then drawing our pictures, we presented our poster to the rest of the class.

Patterns

For several weeks,  our class has been learning about patterns in Math Investigations.  We have used several different materials to show patterns including: our bodies, paper, and manipulatives.  On this day, we told students they were allowed to use anything in the room to make a pattern.  Our smart Kindergarteners discovered they could make patterns with a lot of different things!
These students made a AABC pattern by using shape blocks.



These students used cubes to make their patterns.

These girls were making patterns with blocks.

This student used crayons to make an AB pattern.


These boys made an AB pattern with leaves.

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

For the past month, our class prepared and practiced for a Reader's Theater.  We performed, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" for Mrs. Alvarado and Miss Donofrio's first grade class.   Each child had a special part in the play.  We had Narrators, the Littlest Billy Goat Gruff, the Medium Billy Goat Gruff, the Big Billy Goat Gruff, the Troll, and the Bridge.  We were so proud of our shining stars!
