A look at the last few months

It is hard to believe the end of the year is nearly here! We are so proud of the incredible work these kindergartners have done this year. Every single child has grown in many, many ways.

These last few weeks, students examined rocks from the district science kit as well as went on a rock hunt outside. Many students have quite the collection. We took time to examine the qualities of various rocks and figured out all the different ways you can sort a rock collection!

These last few months, students have mastered counting to 100 by 1s and 10s. Many students can also count to 100 by 5s and 2s! Students can break apart numbers 4-10. We know how to show our teen numbers with 10 + some more. Students are beginning to memorize addition facts and made flip books to help them practice.

Each day a student organizes the eggs into the ten-frame egg carton.

We have been so lucky to have amazing art moms who help us get creative on Fridays. Here are a few of the great pieces of work.

Over the last few weeks this blog will have some different ideas and activities you can do with your student to keep his or her skills sharp and ready for first grade!
