Rain, Rain Go Away!

March is the perfect month to learn about weather. In that past month we've had golden sunshine and 70 degrees, 30 degree snowstorms, and lots of rain.
We had six weather related centers. One of the centers allowed us to create a weather map. The bottom picture shows a weather map being created using PowerPoint. April is a great month for kite flying. We decorated our own kites. The top picture shows an example of a meteorologist in action.
Miss Naumann read one of her favorite books Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. What food would you want to fall from the sky?

SMART

We have been sneaking into Mrs. Holm's room to use the SMART board. If you are unfamiliar, it is like a giant touch screen computer. So far we've used it to practice counting money, buying items, reading number words and many other things. We really like learning with new technology.

Think Green!!!

Tim the Trashman came to St. Paul's to teach us about being GREEN. We heard about using reusable containers for lunch. Tim also did a few magic tricks. It was a wonderful reminder to take care of the earth which is a gift from God!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

This week we made family crests. We sorted sheep like they do in Ireland. We sorted gold equally between two leprechauns. We used a Lite Brite to improve hand control. But, the most scrumptious part was graphing Lucky Charms.

We used shaving cream to make fuzzy sheep. Our lions were made with watercolors that we squeezed onto coffee filters. A Rhyme Mat helped us practice rhymes.

Dr. Seuss

Did you know Dr. Seuss was born on March second? To celebrate we counted rainbow fish like the book One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. We rolled picture dice to see if we could make a matching pair. A Cat in the Hat necklace was made. Using big stamps we matched rhymes. We wrote about our favorite Seuss book. We even made a class book Green Eggs and Spam: An Adventure in -am.
A few weeks ago the Kindergarten class recieved a projector to use in our room. We have used it to write a book, do math, watch a NASA shuttle blast off, play space games and we just explored the world of Seuss. The website: www.seussville.com has many educational games. We played "Fox in Socks" and "Sam I Am Says."
We will have so much more fun when our rhyme bags arrive!
