Today was such a busy day I realized I forgot to take any pictures - whoops! The day began again with outside play. Kindergarten teachers really think that this is helping with the flow of the rest of the day. We then transitioned into play where some students chose to complete a hibernating animal craft. We continued talking about 2-D shapes during math today and then switched things up with our weekly math groups. Yesterday I introduced a new shape matching game on the computer which has been quite a hit in the classroom if you would like to access it at home:

After Math we transitioned into Writer's Workshop. It is wonderful to see students grow as writers and many are taking risks and beginning to add more letters and words to their drawings. I like to remind students: "if you can say it, you can spell it!" with the focus being less on conventional spelling and more on the sounds that they hear in words.
Our read aloud today was another non-fiction text about animals in winter. It was new to me and connected very well to our Thursday's in the woods: Under the Snow by Melissa Stewart.
