Look what we did in Kindergarten this week:

Math: compared length to a reference object and ordered objects by length from shortest to longest

Religion: understood that Mary is the greatest saint, listened and responded to stories about Jesus

Science: observed and described the properties of rocks, soil, and water, observed and described landforms that can be found on the earth’s surface, identified resources from the earth and recognized that many of these resources can be conserved

Handwriting: practiced the letters Zz

Language Arts: identified the letter-sound relationships for Z, celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday, listened and responded to stories and practiced for the 3 Piggy Opera.

Social Studies: discussed maps and neighborhoods and shared our model projects

Learning Centers: We drew back to the future drawings for an art contest in the art center, played on the computers in the computer center, played a Green Eggs and Ham game in the math center, unscrambled Z words in the writing center, and used our imaginations in the dramatic play center.
