This week we had another special Kindergarten guest reader.....Hassani! Hassani has been practicing his story at home and wanted to share it with his classmates. He read the story, Dick and Jane, We Look. Hassani did a fantastic job reading to the class and we really enjoyed the story!
Last week the kindergarten class did an experiment on sink or float? We tested certain objects to see if they would sink or float. We talked about predictions and what it means to make a prediction in science. We tested objects such as a wooden block, marker, cotton ball, quarter, a bristle block, a foam toy, and a Lego piece. The boys and girls had so much fun during science last week!
Last week, some of our friends read the story, The Mom and Pop Shop. This is a story from our reading series. The story is about a family owning a small store in the neighborhood and described items found in a mom-and-pop type of store. The students created sentences about a store or shop in their community. We used our Montessori movable alphabet to write our sentences.

| "I go to McDonald's." |
 |
| "I go to the store with my dad." |
 |
| "I like going to Target." |
 |
| "I go to the robot store." |
 |
| "I go to Trader Joe's with my mom." |
Another group of friends read the story,
Jack's Junk. This is a story from our reading series. The story is about a boy who makes different creations out of things he finds around his house. The students created sentences about making a creation out of things around their home. We used the Montessori movable alphabet to create our sentences. We really found this story to be funny!

| "I made an invention out of blocks." |

| "I'm making a big teddy bear out of foam." |
