What a super busy week in Kindergarten! In thinking about Earth Day, we planted some grass seeds in a plastic cup and decorated our cups using googly eyes and a pompom for a nose! We used some planting soil and watered our plants! In just a few days, the grass grew! We were so excited!
Also, in honor of Earth Day, we got together with our 6th grade buddies to create pictures using different items found in nature. For example, pinecones, acorns, rocks, and sticks. Next, we played Earth Day themed board games! What a fun time with our buddies!
Our students have been working very hard with the Montessori Bank Game. We are now adding with hundreds and will soon introduce the thousand cube to many of our students.
This week we started our Kindergarten Mystery Readers! The boys and girls are so excited when we have a guest reader! If you have not signed up, please consider signing up to be a reader!
A huge thank you to this week's mystery readers! Seth's parents, Sophia's mom, and Munkar's mom! It's been a lot of fun!
We have EGG-citing news!!!! Starting this week, the PreK and Kindergarten classes will be working together to take care of 7 eggs which will then hatch in about 3 weeks. Then we will be taking care of baby chicks! Did you know not all eggs are white? Our eggs are white, brown, pinkish, and blue! The need to stay in the warm incubator for the three weeks which would be the equivalent to the hen sitting on her eggs. Stay tuned for more updates about our unit on chicks!
Check out our Phila sports team's spirit! Good luck to the Sixers and the Flyers during their playoff journeys!
