What a beautiful autumn day we had today! I heard some students saying in the hallway that it was "too hot" out there. The farm toys were still a hit today, as were puzzles and lego. This group is definitely hands on and all about building!
The buzz about patterns is building, too. We read a story about patterns and they all did a great job with recognizing and extending patterns. They love to find patterns on their clothes and were excited to find patterns around the classroom today. We played a Pattern Train game today with snap cubes. First, I made different patterns with the cubes and they had to tell me if it was a pattern or not and why. Then, students had their turn to try and make their own patterns. There were 2 colour AB and ABB patterns, plus a 3 colour ABC pattern. Great work!
In Science, we continued discussions about the 5 senses. We read Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?, which has such a great pattern for students to follow along with. Students then shared their favourite thing to see, which they also drew in their 5 senses booklets. As a group, we also worked on a 5 senses chart and sorted some pictures to decide which of our senses we would use to observe each object.
Last period, students viewed an Alphablocks story before heading to the library. There they listened to the story Bear Feels Scared and each student found two books to sign out and look at while we were in the library. We ended the day with some of our favourite singing and dancing songs (Baby Shark and Herman the Worm are crowd favourites right now), followed by the talking circle and the hustle bustle of getting everyone ready to go home.
Another week of Kindergarten has come and gone! Once again~ wishing everyone a fantastic fall weekend!
