Spirographs, Shakespeare, Sprouts and MORE!!!

Hello Scientist Friends and Families,

Here's a snap shot into last week's memories.  Enjoy!

Open Choice Time

Teaching friends how to speak Chinese


Using a loom


Finishing up yarn compositions


Studying different specimen in the Science Area

Butterflies


Live snails




Mystery shells


ST Math


Creating designs and patterns on different numbers



Using a spirograph





Construction 



Writing in the Language Area




Testing Tempera Paint






Five Friends is a fun new math game that you can play at home together!  Which two numbers can you find that add up to 5?




Ten Friends is a similar game, but this time, we're adding to ten.




Bean Bag Toss

This week, The Scientist Friends and their Buddies played a game of toss and catch.  With each toss that you catch, you take a step back.  You keep tossing and catching until one friend drops the bean bag.  Then, you get to measure the distance between each other and try to get further apart next time!






Garden Studies with Mary

We got to transplant our sprouts this week into the school's garden.  Now they'll be able to grow even MORE!!






















Shakespeare Medley

Innovations Academy's Home Learning Community put on a play for their families for the Exhibition Night and we were invited to be a part of the audience!  Friends were really appreciative of the costumes and use of emotion in their voices to act out how their character was feeling.  They did a great job at being respectful audience members.


















Outdoor Education with Coach Curry

This week, our class took turns running "the Curve."  They practiced staying in their lane and running at their personal best speed.  The number to beat was under 30sec and almost ALL of our friends did it!  As each kindergartner ran, the rest of the class cheered them on the whole way.  It was so exciting!
