Hello!

**WE ARE PLANNING TO HAVE A PAJAMA DAY FRIDAY, MARCH 31ST.

In kindergarten today:

Addi played a version of hide and seek! There were twenty eggs hidden throughout the house. She found one egg at a time and brought it to me. In the eggs, numbers from 1 to 20 were written. Addi told me what the number was as well as the number one less AND one more than that specific number. For instance, Addi opened an egg with the number 8 written on a piece of paper. Addi told me the number as well as that 7 is one less than 8 and 9 is one more than 8.

After we found all of the eggs, Addi separated the colored eggs and counted what color had the most and least! Throughout the activity, our one to one correspondence skills were used as well as using the terms more and less in our conversations.

K.NS.3: Find the number that is one more than or one less than any whole number up to 20.

In large group:

We read Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs Missing Treasure. Before group, I picked out a few words from the story; look, not, sail, and eat. We changed one letter from three words while adding a letter to the other so it completely changes the words. First, we talked about ‘look’. We added a ‘B’ to ‘ook’ and sounded out the word. Throughout the activity, friends observed that the beginning sound changed while the rest of the word stayed the same. A few older friends even commented, “If we added a ‘c’ to ‘ook’, it’d be ‘cook’!”

K.RF.3.5: Add, delete, or substitute sounds to change words.

We worked on our hand/eye coordination and our fine motor skills as we worked on our puzzles and drawing our pictures.

While we were outside, Lucy and Anna were doing their own version of ring around the rosie. They were spinning around in a circle and then falling down without holding each others hands.

We also enjoyed making a pizza with the sand in the sandbox, going down the slide, playing together with a few friends with the trucks and climbing to the top of the log house.
