Jingle Bell Band

The kids enjoyed designing their own instruments today with lots of unique materials.  Thanks so much for the donations the past few weeks.  These little engineers had some very unique ideas for creating sound.

Kindergarten Math Wizards

Can you believe that this is Kindergarten math?  WOW!  This partner lesson today was successful for everyone!  I should have taken a picture of them working in partnerships to "talk math" today.

We Are So Thankful for Our Reading Buddies

Super Thinkers

In both Reading and writing workshop, we have been discussing how people have super reasoning powers.  All thinkers possess these powers and must persist using strategies that they have been taught in order to succeed.  Next week a bulletin board will be posted that shows each child as a "Super Thinker".  My hope is that this planning will help them gain confidence to take risks to further their knowledge in all subject areas.  Here are our "Super Thinkers".
