Gingerbread Unit
The students were thrilled to see our kindergarten hallway transformed into a gingerbread wonderland! During this unit, we compared different versions of The Gingerbread Man and practiced identifying the setting, the main characters, the problem and solution. We also identified the repeated refrain in each story and made predictions about the fate of the main character at the end of each story. We also practiced our retelling skills by sequencing the main events.
It's exciting to see the children growing as writers! They are feeling more confident when stretching out sounds to write words. They were excited to write about what they did over the Thanksgiving break. They also worked to label the parts of a gingerbread man and wrote about how they would decorate their very own gingerbread cookie!
Math
During math time, we have continued to focus on composing and decomposing numbers to help build a strong foundation for addition and subtraction. We have also been learning more about ordering numbers and using number lines to identify numbers that are one more or one less than a given number.
We loved learning all about our kinder friends too! In the morning class, we learned that Violet loves dancing, especially doing ballet and tap dancing. She is also a fan of JoJo Siwa and loves wearing her bows. She likes to play soccer, and she enjoys reading too. Violet also likes ice cream and spending time with her family!
We loved learning all about Rebeca too! We learned that Rebeca is very artistic and creative. She loves to draw, especially pictures for her family. Rebeca also loves stuffed animals. Pandy and Skunk are her favorites! She likes playing with dolls and spending time with her family. She loved visiting Legoland too!
The afternoon class loved learning about Nadia. We learned that Nadia is a big fan of music and she loves playing piano and the violin. She also likes roller skating, coloring, and playing dress up. She loves spending time with her family and reading too!
We also loved learning all about Riley! We learned that Riley is a big fan of sharks and dinosaurs. He even had a dinosaur themed birthday party! Riley also likes baseball and his favorite colors are orange and blue. Riley loves spending time with his family too, especially his cousins!
