Welcome to Kindergarten in November!!

Our theme this month is the earth and plants!

Language Arts Activities

To practice our sight words "was, it, and" we made a class book... we each had a page, then at the end we voted on what we wanted it to be.....bat won, so at the end we wrote.... "It was a bat."

 We read Mrs. McNosh and the great big squash, then made our own great big plants

 

 

We made Pp out of playdo!
 

 We read the book Dandelion Adventures, and we studied the way the illustrator created the pictures....we did our own watercolor pictures like the ones in the story...

 

 When our watercolors were dry, we stamped on a dandelion, then we did some writing...

"My dandelion landed ______"

 

in Hawaill

 

at the park

 

on the grass

We made a project to go with our November pocket chart 

 

We made the pictures into a booklet, so you can turn the page and re-read the poem

   

Math Fun

The kids played two fun games with Miss Margaret at the Math Table

 For the letter Pp, the math table read two pancakes books.... they then used a real pancake and a plastic spoon and flipped it....they then used different objects to measure how far it flipped!
