Sorting Centers

After learning about sorting the students needed time to practice this skill.  They had the chance to work at different sorting centers each day for a week.  These centers included, sorting puzzles, shape and magnet sorting, button sorting, sorting games and also using sorting apps on I-Pads.  It is amazing to watch how their minds work when they are using hand-on learning tools!

Cinnamon Toast

We spent a lot of time learning about different types of bears this fall.  One of the poems we read was called Cinnamon Bear and it was about a bear who liked to eat cinnamon toast.  We decided that we would like to eat cinnamon toast too!  Drayson's mom, Holly, came to our room on Friday, October 18th and helped each child to make their own piece of cinnamon toast.  The kids thought it was delicious!!  A new breakfast favorite!  Afterwards we talked about the steps for making cinnamon toast and put the steps in order.  Enjoy the pictures!

Play-Doh Practice

Often, in Kindergarten, we practice making letters and words in lots of different ways.  One of our favorite is with play-doh.  Not only does this engage the students in their learning but it also is a fabulous way to strengthen those fine motor skills which are necessary for holding pencils, crayons and markers.  This was our first try and the kids had a lot of fun!

Playground Fun!

Sometimes at the end of the day, we head out to the Grade 4 and 5 play area as a special treat!  The kids love to try out the big monkey bars and the balance beam.  They are very helpful to each other and always have lots of fun!
