Snow!

It was a wonderful and busy Thursday in Kindergarten.  This morning we read a book with lots of rhyming words, Duck in the Truck and Kindergarteners identified and added their own rhyming words to the read aloud.  We also sorted our names by names that had the letter S in them and letters that did not have the letter S.

After Music with Mrs. Hurley it was time to go to the woods!  We met by the Chestnut Tree again today and practiced staying completely silent for one minute.  Kindergarteners were able to hear the wind, cars driving by, planes overhead and birds.

When we returned from the Woods we listened to the book Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert and I introduced a project we will be starting next week inspired by this book.  All Kindergarteners will have a chance to make their own leaf creation on paper, we will photograph it, add text and voice to create our own digital book.  Be on the lookout for this next week!

We read another book by Ezra Jack Keats The Snowy Day and then created some paper collages inspired by Keats' books.
