We Are Hatching Eggs!

Look at our newest addition to our kindergarten classroom!  For the next 21 days, we will be hatching chicken eggs to kick off our spring lifecycles unit.  We owe and HUGE thank you to Bridgette Koll and Rylee!  They are letting us hatch eggs from their own chickens. 

The Paper Bag Princess

We enjoyed using the characters from The Paper Bag Princess as we listened to the story again, then practiced retelling it!  We were so excited to bring them home for break to share!

 

 

Happy Easter!

We sorted and graphed jelly beans today!  We even got to taste some :)

We Made Pizza!

After reading The Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza, we made our own yummy pizzas!  They added ingredients to make the dough, kneaded the dough, added sauce, and toppings.

We also used the pizza to introduce the math terms "half" and "fourth"

 

 

 

 

 

And the best part was....

 

Eating it!

 

Catch Me If You Can!

The leprechaun traps were no use... O'Seamus escaped, but he left some candy for the students to find.  Maybe next year!

They're Back!

O'seamus returned!  We arrived this morning to find all of our chairs in the classroom in complete disarray, upside down!

After listening to Mr. Steven's read The Night Before St. Patrick's Day, we worked hard at creating and constructing leprechaun traps.  We hid them around the room...we will catch that leprechaun!

The Leprechauns!

In preperation for St. Patrick's day, we are reading books about the traditions celebrated on Emerald Isle...Ireland!

Sam's mom, Mrs. Taylor, came to our classroom today to show us how to make tiny hats!  They might even fit a leprechaun.  We are saving them for Friday, to put in our traps.  We are hoping to lure the mischevious leprechaun and keep him from scampering out of our reach!
