Kindergarten Musical
What a fabulous show today! The kindergarteners did such a great job performing for their families. I was so proud of them!
Math
During math this week, we learned how to count a large collection of objects by making groups of 10. We also practiced making a name collection box to show different ways to make a given number. For example, 4 +1, 6 -1, 3 +2, and five tally marks are all different ways to represent the number 5.
Reading Workshop
This week we began our final reading workshop unit of the school year. It is a content unit that focuses on plants and ties in nicely with our "Plants and Animals" science unit. We kicked off our plants unit by thinking about how scientists and readers are alike. We worked on the chart below together as a class and then highlighted the similarities.
We also learned how to use the "Stop and Sketch" strategy to help us record and remember our thinking while listening to the books Stems. The students did a great job using their investigation journals to record their learning, and they were fascinated to learn that many of the vegetables they eat are actually the stems of plants!

Writing Workshop
We continued to work on our animal research reports this week. We have one more page to go before we assemble our books and share them with our 5th grade buddies!
Science
Take a peek at our "Plants and Animals" link above to check out what we have been learning in science!
