Hurray! Haden's Birthday!

Happy Birthday Haden!  Haden celebrated his birthday on November 7th.  Mrs. Raders came in to read us The Rainbow Fish.   Haden was also our Kinderowl of the Week last week.  We loved seeing his show and tell, including the magic trick!  Over the weekend, Haden had the opportunity to take Hoot the Owl with him.  Read below to see what his family did!

Friday:  I spent Friday nite with my grandma.  Hoot watched us play with toys.
Saturday:  I had a futbol birthday party with my frinds.  Hoot was happy when I made a tothdown!
Sunday:  Hoot had a fun day with my family.   We played, read boks, watched tv, and went to church.

Sounds like a great weekend Haden!

We LOVE Centers!

While Mrs. Kroeger has been working with students one-on-one this week, Kindergartners have been hard at work in their math and literacy centers.  Here are some of the activities we are working on!

Simple Sums:  Students played with a partner.  Each partner rolled two dice, added the numbers together and recorded their answers on their "Ssssimple Sums" board.  The first one to fill their snake won the game! 

Simple Sums

Leaf Patterns:  Kindergartners created a variety of patterns using different colored leaves.  They then needed to label their pattern:  AB, ABC, ABB, AAB.

 

Before, After, Between:  We have been working hard on developing our number sense.  Kindergartners played this game in a group of four.  Each player receives two cards.  The first player draws a 3rd card and decides if that card "fits" between the first two.  For instance, if a student has a 3 and a 8 and draws a 5, this number fits between.  They would then record this set of numbers on their paper, keep the 3 cards and then draw two new cards.  The game continued until no more cards were left!

 Stamping Fun:  Students stamped the letters that are in their name and not in their name.  This was one of our favorite centers (and the messiest!)
