It was a crazy fun week in Kindergarten!
Monday was our 100th Day of School! We made Froot Loop necklaces with 100 Froot Loops. We then had our 100 themed center which included building with 100 cups, creating with 100 marshmallows, eating 100 snacks, and making a 100's crown. Thank you to Courtney, Katie, and Traci for helping. We had so much fun!

The party continued Tuesday with Valentine's Day! The students started the day making a map of their heart and writing/drawing in it all the things they love. We then had our party and passed out Valentine's. The kids had a great time! Thank you Linda, Courtney, and Katie for organizing such a wonderful party!
The rest of the week we switched our focus to Polar Bears. The students shared what they already knew about Polar Bears, and what they wanted to learn. We did a lot of research together on what they eat, where they live, and parts of their body. We read books, watched videos, and used PebbleGo and Brain Pop to help us. Then, the students completed 3 different centers focusing on each of the areas (habitat, body, food). For habitat, the students explored ice, water, and shaving cream in the sensory table to simulate ice bergs and snow. They then wrote a reflection on what the Arctic was like (cold!) For food, the students created what a polar bear eats (fish, seals, walruses) out of play dough. For body, the students drew a diagram of a polar bear, labeling the different parts, and then recorded it on Seesaw.
Next week we will continue with Polar Bears and stat learning about Penguins.
