Earth Day and Science Fun!

For Earth Day last week, the students had to find several colors on the field that are in nature!  We found flowers, sticks, grass, and other things in nature.  For science, Mrs. Clay helped us make predictions about colors.  When we mixed two colors together using food coloring and water, what colors do we get?  Our students did a fantastic job with their predictions.

As a part of our Charlotte's Web unit, the students worked in cooperative groups to create a scenery from our story.  We discussed working as a group, sharing ideas, and using our imagination as to what we think the farm looks like.  I was so proud of the students.  They worked beautifully together and the results speak for themselves!  Way to go, Kindergarten!

This week, as we read Charlotte's Web, we focused a lot on friendship.  We talked about how Charlotte and Wilbur have a wonderful friendship.  The kindergarten students wrote and rewrote about their friends in the classroom.  Each student picked a name out of the basket and that was the friend they would write about.  They came up with wonderful things to say about their friends.  After using their phonetic spelling to write sentences, the students completed a final draft of their work.

Here are the final written drafts about kindergarten friendship!

"Lily is a great friend because she plays with me.  My favorite thing about Lily is she likes to play tag."

"Luke is a great friend because he plays soccer.  My favorite thing about Luke is he is good at drawing."
