What a great field trip yesterday!  Thanks to all parents who chaperoned and to  weather for cooperating.  I have been visiting  that zoo all of my life and yesterday was the first day that I had seen some of those animals up and moving about!  We took quite a bit of time this morning to share favorite animals and surprises about some of them.  Interesting conversations.

Moving on with the day, we were extremely busy-wow!

We wrote an 8 page book!  Writing an 8 page book in Kindergarten is quite a feat.  The book is in their BOOK BOX and I’d like to leave it there for a few days.  They are very proud of their work.  Lots of writing of this week’s words see  a .  End of sentence punctuation, Spaces between words, stretching out words and listening to sounds that our mouths are saying so we know what letter to write.  Even just keeping up with the lesson is an opportunity to perform well.  Spacing is another text feature.  Here is a sample of a book.  Thanks for sharing your book Zahraa.

then is Science, we had a great experiment about Sink or Float??  They had to make an Hypothesis about 6 different items.  Then we did the experiment.  We observed our findings and lastly we recorded our findings.  THEN, we tried to figure out why some items sank and others floated.  We were really confused when the tiny wooden block floated and so did the big wooden block, but the tiny paper clip and clip sank.  the last item that we investigated was the pumpkin.  I’ll let them tell you the results and, the most important part…why???

Take a look…
