We continued with our daily calendar routine and had an exciting time doing a "double trade" with our place value blocks!
During story time we read Henry's 100th Day of Kindergarten by Nancy Carlson. We practiced making connections with the characters and events- boy was that easy to do with this story! "Ms. Flanary dressed up like a super hero for Halloween like the kids in the book did!" "We had a feast and they had a feast." "They have a 100th day in February and we have a 100th day in February!!!" |
After our Hershey Kiss hunt, we relaxed during book look while our special snack was being set up. Since the 100th day and Groundhog Day happened to be on the same day this year, we had to celebrate a little bit of both! Take a look at our "100" snack and Groundhog "burrows". The conversations at the snack table today were hilarious! It was determined that "groundhogs" taste sweet and delicious. ;)
At the writing station, kinders used the digits 1-0-0 to create the number 100. Then they were challenged to arrange the digits in a different location on their paper to create something new. Not only was I impressed with their imaginations, they blew me away with their writing abilities! We are using spaces, sight words, and sounds to independently complete a sentence now! These past 100 days have truly made us smarter!
