Theo's tooth story

Student Spotlight: What do you like most about kindergarten?


"I like that we get to have open centers. We get to do math. I am five years old. That's pretty much all I can think of."

Questions for the dinner table. 2/8/11

  • How many subtraction problems did you complete during your morning work?
  • Who did you write about during literacy centers today?
  • Is your new class pet a boy or a girl? How do you know?
  • How do you play the math game "Guess my number?"
  • What color star did your class decorate for the space board?

Rosie's pop art


"I made it with foam shapes. Then I used markers to decorated it. I think it's cool because I wrote my name on it with markers. I want my dad to see it because I made two more yesterday." -Rosie

Math Centers

Today we rotated through four math centers. One of the centers was creating patterns using cubes. We challenged ourselves to make hard patterns! In another center we used treasure chests and gems to count. We rolled a dice and put that number of gems in our treasure chest! We also used magnetic numbers to create equations. Some of us even used the magnetic numbers to skip count. Our last center was on the computer where we played math games from funschool.kaboose.com! We had a great time learning today in our math centers!

Sebastian's cardboard box house



"I made it out of a cardboard box. I recycled something for the chimney. After a while I painted it. I wanted to put it on the blog because it was special to me and I painted it. I also use it for playing." - Sebastian
