What a busy two weeks! Happy to be back to the blogging world and so ready for Spring Break. I wanted to share with you all some of the fun things we did last week. I bought DeAnna's St. Patrick's Day unit and my kinders had a blast. Here's a glimpse at a few of our Math Workstations. These printables are made up of freebies found all over the place. :)
A leprechaun visited our classroom, played tricks on us, and left foot prints everywhere!
He left silly messages and one day asked if we could "catch" his rainbow. So, we tried!
This great experiment was from DeAnna's unit. We refracted light using a flashlight and vase of water. We turned off our classroom lights and students looked around the room and tried to find the rainbow. Students learned that to make a rainbow, you need rain and sunlight. So, on the back of our paper, we made a key to illustrate what each object we used represented. Key: the vase and water = rain and the flashlight = the sun.
We learned about the colors of the rainbow and made our own Roy G. Biv.
We made Leprechaun punch one day and added rainbow sprinkles (skittles)! Students did a little "how to" writing and wrote the steps we took to make the punch.
The last step, "eat it up" of course!
We did a little leprechaun math and added gold together. My leprechaun has 2 pieces of gold. I gave him 2 more. Now he has 4 pieces of gold. 2+2=4
Here is what the outside of our classroom door looks like! I didn't get a chance to grab a picture after we added our huge pot of gold. But you can imagine it...right next to the door, in between the trees.
We learned about the sequence of a story and read There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Clover. Students re told the story and listed the objects the old lady swallowed in order. You can grab this freebie and a few other goodies to store away for next year below. Hope you had a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
