This Week in Kindergarten...

This week, we worked on turning our dramatic play center into a "vacation center".  Here is a friend painting a box that will be a boat in our new center.  Look for more pictures coming soon of this new center.

The children love building with blocks! This week, the students were challenged to add "labels" to their block creations.  This group of students used yellow sticky notes to label different parts of their block structure.  

During our Super Science investigation this week, we experimented with the effect of shaving cream and food coloring on paper.  

As we continue our learning about measurement, we began to explore the concept of "measuring time".  Here we are discussing the different parts of our day and the order in which we do things throughout the day.  We are learning about how clocks help us measure time. 

With the arrival of some beautiful weather, we took a little extra time to get outside with some outdoor play equipment, such as the tricycles and parachute.  

We read stories by author Laura Numeroff throughout the week.  This author writes a collection of stories, such as "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and "If You Give a Dog a Doughnut".  The children enjoyed creating surveys related to these stories and making artwork about the characters in the books.
