Butterflies!

I apologize for the hiatus but I have been slowly recovering from quite a cold.  We have been busy in Kindergarten!  Over the long weekend all 6 of our butterflies emerged out of their chrysalises!  We enjoyed watching the butterflies in the classroom today and are hoping for sun so we can release them outside tomorrow. 

Today we started talking about community helpers.  We defined a community as as group of people who live and work together and helpers in our community as people how make our community safer, better and cleaner.  On Friday we will walk to Fire Station 4 and learn more about how firefighters are helpers in our community.

During Math today we talked about how we can use a number line or path to help us write number sentences.  I read Ready, Set, Hop by Stuart J. Murphy.  Two frog friends Matty and Moe compete to see how many hops it takes to get to the big rock.  If Matty hopped 5 hops and Moe hopped 2 more hops than Matty, then the score is 5 to 7. We used a number to keep track of the hops and write number sentences.
