 Today was writing Wednesday. We looked at an underwater ocean scene and had to write about something from the photo. We are proud of how far our learners have come with their writing! They are doing a fantastic job getting their ideas down on paper. 

AM Kindergarten learned about Octopuses. We read, "Octopuses One to Ten" and "Inky the Octopus" and watched a video to learn about the octopus. 

PM Kindergarten learned about the Anglerfish. We read, "Monsters of the Deep" and watched a video about anglerfish. 

We started to record facts on our fact poster in the class. Ask your child to share an interesting fact they learned. 

We had centers and Mrs. Mask's PM class had music. 

Friday is AM Kindergarten.

AM kindergarten looked fantastic all dressed up for Halloween! We had a fun day at school.  Today we were Scientists and took a closer look at pumpkins. We watched a video from Sci Kids about pumpkin dissection and learned about all the parts of a pumpkin. We learned about estimation and had to estimate about the height of a pumpkin using cubes, the circumference of a pumpkin using string and estimated the number of ribs on the pumpkin. We then measured to see how accurate we were with our guesses. We worked in groups.  Our last job was to predict what would happen when we placed a pumpkin in water. Would it sink or float?

Today we exchanged home reading. Your child took home 2 books to read this week. Please return them on Thursday. We are looking at poetry in our class. We read the story, "Hello Ocean" and had to think of one word to describe the ocean. We made a list and talked about using descriptive words to speak about the ocean. We used our 5 senses to help us describe the ocean and created a class poem. We will be focusing on creating ocean creature poems over the next few weeks in class.  We played bump in math. It is a game that focuses on counting on from the biggest number using dice.  AM Kindergarten and Mrs. Mask's PM class had music. Mr. Campbell's class had gym.
