Caps for Sale

Another monkey story that we read was Caps for Sale.  In this story a peddler is trying to sell his caps but the caps get stolen by naughty little monkeys.  This was a funny story to watch the children perform!

Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

Last week we had lots of fun acting out Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.  The kids created monkey hats and become monkeys.  We have some very dramatic students in Kindergarten A.  It was quite a show!

Shape Centers

This week at school, during math time, the kids took part in shape centers.  We had a different shape activity at each table and the kids got to spend one day at each center.  At the yellow table the children used the ipads to work on shape activities, at the blue table they used shape stamps and paint to create shape pictures and patterns, at the red table they used play-doh to create shapes and at the green table they had to use their imaginations to create shape pictures using foam shapes.  This worked very well and the kids enjoyed themselves!

Off Broadway

Last week, after retelling "The Mitten" to our friends from Kindergarten B, we also thought it would be fun to act out the story.  The kids each chose a character from the story and acted out that part.  We used a huge white blanket as the mitten and Mrs. Clelland was the narrator.  The kids had such a wonderful time being actors and actresses that we had to act it out more than once!  Stay tuned as next week we are going to try "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed"!

The Mitten

Last week we read "The Mitten" by Jan Brett and then we practiced retelling this story.  The kids sewed together a white mitten just like in the story and then made the animals from the story.  After practicing retelling the story using the props, we invited the students from Kindergarten B over to listen to our stories.  It was so much fun to perform for an audience!
