Mommy has a big red egg.
My sister has a little striped egg.
Taryn has a bunny egg.
I made a gold egg.
The children love sharing the books they write. I continue to be amazed and proud of their writing skills.
In math, we used jelly beans to estimate, sort, count, graph, add and subtract.
During the week, we have been playing, "Crack Open an Egg." The students choose a plastic egg out of a basket and break it open. Inside is a sentence directing them to complete a skill we have learned during the year.
Tell us what an author and illustrator does.
Draw a worm and tell us the body parts.
Count backwards from 10.
On the whiteboard, draw 1 circle and 2 triangles.
Find something in the room that is a cylinder.
For Sharing, the children prepared a "surprise egg". I gave them a plastic egg to take home. They had to place something inside the egg and write 3 clues about the item inside. At Sharing time, they had to read their clues and the class guessed what was inside the egg. The students had to be detectives and use the three clues to make reasonable guesses. This can be a difficult skill for many kindergarten kids.
We made this cute bunny. (This is a picture of Ava's bunny.)
The students were given two cut-out egg shapes. The first egg was decorated by drawing different lines (straight, zig zag, curly, etc.) After decorating, we folded it in 1/2 and cut on the fold line. They drew a bunny face on the second egg shape. We used brads to attach the egg parts to the top of the oval to create bunny ears.
This is a simple art project. The body of the chick is a circle. The wings were made by tracing our hand. We added Goggly eyes, a beak, legs and grass.
