Spring!

We have been thinking about spring in the full day kindergarten this week.  We finished our wind socks and are looking forward to flying them outside.   Through interactive writing, a process where children write down the sounds they can hear in a word and the teacher adds parts of the word that students would not be expected to know at this time we created a sign for our wind socks.

Over several days children worked on a multi step project during math workshop.  First the children traced and cut out kite shapes and used oil pastels to create a pattern on their kite.   Next they used a water color wash technique to cover all the white on their kites.  Finally they learned how to cut a square in half to create two triangles.  Children used the triangles to create their kite tail before placing their kite on our hallway mural.

Happy Spring!!!

Until next time......
