Last week felt like a very mixed up week with the Monday and Tuesday break from school then the day off on Thursday. Here's hoping we have a full week of school this week! We finished up our unit on Pushes and Pulls, are working on correct letter formation for upper case letters, practicing tapping and reading 3 letter words and getting ready to write about melting snowmen and learn a new math game that uses adding skills. As we talked about Martin Luther King Jr. and all the important messages he wanted to spread, we made Peace Plates and discussed what we think PEACE means. Some of the Kindergarten ideas were....Peace means love, working out problems with friends, staying calm when you're mad about something and being a kind person. Here are some photos from that project.
This project opened up great dialogue around different ways to express yourself in art and how unique our individual ideas are. As the students sat at the table revealing their designs, I heard comments like, "I love the dots on yours." "Wow, I know you like blue!" "I might try that flower design next time." We learn from each other every day in Kindergarten.
