Little Engineers

We have spent a lot of time in Kindergarten learning about shapes and especially 3 dimensional shapes. At centers we got to explore the engineer in us and build 3D shapes using play-doh and sticks. So much fun!

Spring Has SpRuNg In Kindergarten!

We have been so excited these last two weeks to FINALLY have some Spring weather. Along with running like wild animals on the playground and just having an extra hop in our steps we have also been witnessing life in our classroom. We were given some tadpole eggs last week and were able to witness the hatching of tadpoles. We now have some that have developed gills and we are hoping to be able to see legs develop and maybe even these little tadpoles will transform into frogs before the school year is over (which is sooner than we think).

Since we have been learning about what plants need in order to grow, we also thought we'd dabble a little in the field of gardening, well kind of. Last week at center time we planted some grass and gave it all it needed. Believe it or not, let than a week later, we are already seeing sprouts. We added our funny face pictures so that once the grass is tall enough it will look like we have spiky green hair.
