Halloween!
Our week got off to an exciting start as the children in Room 202 had a SPOOKtacular time celebrating Halloween! Check out their awesome costumes below!
Pumpkin Fun!
Not only did the students have a great time showing off their costumes in Boyden's Halloween parade, but they also had a blast partaking in some pumpkin fun!
As part of our investigation, the children predicted how many cubes tall our classroom pumpkin would be! We discovered that our pumpkin was exactly 12 cubes tall!
We also learned that pumpkins will float when placed in water!
These kinder kiddos had a great time collecting and counting our pumpkin's seeds! We discovered that our pumpkin had 630 seeds altogether! That's A LOT of seeds! We also learned about the different parts of the pumpkin including the stem, skin, pulp, and fibrous strands! As a grand finale we carved our pumpkin. The students voted to give our pumpkin a ScArY face!
Curriculum
Literacy
Last week in Literacy we read the book Life in the Ocean by Carol K. Lindeen. This book helped us discuss the question, "What is in an ocean environment?". We also learned about the letter S and were introduced to two new sight words "have" and "is".
The students tested their ocean animal knowledge by sorting animals that can be found in the sea and animals that can be found on a farm!
Math
In math we continued to practice comparing and ordering numbers 0-5. We learned the new math vocabulary words more, fewer, same as, column, and row and also used a tool called a ten frame!
The students filled the two rows of their ten frame with counters and then practiced answering the questions "Which row has more?" and"Which row has fewer?". We also began to explore how many more and fewer were in each row.
