Star student is Michael.
Monday - We learned about bees and wasps today. Ask your kinder what the wasp nests in our classroom are made of and who made them. We also worked in writer's workshop and had a discussion of our character word of the month, trustworthiness.
Tuesday - Today the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito Control and Vector. Agency paid us a visit to teach us about mosquitoes. Eric gave a fascinating talk to the kinders and also gave them a cool cup and tattoo. He also left us with a mosquito kit to keep fo a week. We will be able to observe our mosquito larva go through metamorphosis, feed larva to our mosquito fish and look at dead mosquitoes under a magnifying glass. Some of the kinders are convinced they are still alive! We also put together a packet of worksheets for the kinders to write down their observations and extend their learning.
Wednesday - We started working in our mosquito packets today. The kinders are basically reading the packet themselves! I'm so proud of their reading abilities!
Thursday - It is so exciting to watch the kinders work on their mosquito packets. I'm really impressed with their reading skills. It is so rewarding to see how much they have learned. This
is one of the many reasons I love my job! In PE we worked with agility ladders. Ask your kinder.
Friday - We had two extra helpers in kdg. today. Two high school seniors, Cecilia and Jenee, came and helped us prep, played soccer and ate snack with the kinders. We also made hand flowers and watched a Reading Rainbow video on the life cycle of a honeybee.
Have a super weekend!
