Number Walk

Kindergarten mathematicians went on a number walk in and around our school to look for numbers and explore the many uses of numbers in our world.

Introduction to Pattern Blocks

In math, the students had lots of fun exploring the pattern blocks and learning the names for each - the green triangle, the orange square, the blue rhombus, the red trapezoid, the tan rhombus, and the yellow hexagon.

Partner Match

In math, we had lots of fun comparing lengths to find our matching partner.  After finding our matching partner who had the same length strip, we spent some time asking our partner questions to get to know one another better.  Then, the students made puzzle pieces that fit together to remember the name of the new friend they had made.

Discovering and Comparing Fiction vs. Nonfiction Books

 In class, we read the book, The Flying School Bus by Seymour Reit.  At the end of the story, we discovered that the bus flew up into the sky.  After reading the story, we discussed if the story could really happen and together, we created a chart to reflect our beliefs.  Then, we learned about the difference between fiction (pretend/make believe) stories and nonfiction (real/factual) stories, and we discovered that the book, The Flying School Bus is actually a fiction story.  Then, we read the book, School Bus by Donald Crews which is a nonfiction book and compared what they noticed about fiction vs. nonfiction books. Afterwards, the students were led in a following directions activity where they were expected to carefully listen and observe step-by-step directions to draw a matching school bus.  We will continue to work on developing the important skill of listening watching, and following directions throughout the school year!  🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌
