Birthday cupcakes

Jack brought special MSU cupcakes to celebrate his birthday!  Each had a football ring on them in a heap of green or white frosting!  Our faces say it all!

Math Games

We have been playing several math games this week!  We practice counting by 1's on the calculator!  We learned about the dime and how we can trade it for 10 pennies!  We also played a dice rolling game, adding two dice together.  We learned that 6, 7, and 8 have the most combinations!  It was harder to roll a 2 and a 12!

Baby Chicks have arrived!

Thursday the hatching began..
 

 

 

Then there were two...

And now there are three!

Thunder Cake!

Since we had such stormy weather, we made a Thunder Cake as we read Patricia Polacco's book, Thunder Cake!  The story is aboout Patricia, when she was little and how she was afraid of thunder.  Her grandmother baked a special cake on days like this one!  Many thanks to our special baker, Mrs. Fridsma, who mixed the ingredients together as we read the story!

 

Measurement

We are learning about standard units of measurement.  First, we each traced our own foot and measured things.  We discovered that since our feet are different sizes, we came up with different measurements for the same object!  That is why we have a standard 'foot' of twelve inches!

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.
