Apple Taste Test!

Today in kindergarten, we got to taste test 3 different colors of apples! We heard a fun story that described a little red house with no door and no windows, with a star inside. As we listened to the story, we realized they were describing an APPLE! If you cut an apple horizontally rather than vertically, you will see the star inside! 

After tasting red, green, and yellow apples, we created a graph to share our favorite apple to eat. Red had the most! Green was the least (but I have to admit, it was a particularly tart green apple!) We had fun, and for some kids, they got to try something new!

Indoor Recess and PLAY-DOH time!

 All of this wet weather this week gave us a chance for our first indoor recess! We had fun with dancing and exercise on GoNoodle and followed up with fun playdoh time!

Changing the shape of wood - science time!

 In science on Friday, we learned about changing the shape of wood! We didn’t use a chainsaw or a saw, as some students suggested. Instead, we used sandpaper! Each student had a chance to sand the edge of a block to see how the sandpaper wore away the sharp corner, and collected the sawdust as evidence in their science notebooks.

Chalk!

 I apologize if your child came home dusty and dirty today, but we had a blast creating chalk art! We read a fun story called “Chalk” about 3 kids who go to a playground and their artwork comes to life! This fun wordless story shows how we can tell a story without reading words by ‘reading’ the pictures and using our imaginations!

Then we went outside to make our own chalk creations!
