Mrs. Poor's Kindergarten Class: Math Stations, Mr. Weber, and Migration

We are quickly approaching our stick season. Right now you can look up and see flocks of birds migrating and then look down and see the bristly wooly bear crawling around. This week kindergartners explored the fascinating world of migration. Migration has been a mystery for a long time. Aristotle claimed that some birds hibernated at the bottom of ponds! Students had fun creating Canadian goose puppets, practiced a V formation (which we learned is quite a skill), and wrote in our journals to share a fun fact that we learned.

In Math, students explored several games. These games worked on comparing numbers and the lengths of different objects. Mr. Weber came in and introduced us to a new computer game called Happy Numbers. This is a great program because it meets students wherever they are on their math journey and helps build and challenge their skill level.

This group of amazing kindergartners continue to blow me away with their work ethic in literacy! Our writing time, whether it be in the classroom or the woods is peaceful and focused. Students are working on story writing and are excited to share and illustrate these moments. Many students are working on adding sounds they hear in words to their pictures! During our read-to-self time, students are enjoying these quiet moments where they immerse themselves in the books and songs that they love!
