Animal Tongues

Show and Tell: Today Yuto shared a very unique toy that he recieved as a gift from his mom that was purchased in Japan. This toy allows him to place an animal information card into a device and move a dial, the result is a speaker that plays the sound that the animal makes. Yuto was kind enough to hand out an info card to each student and give them the chance to try it on their own.

Writer's Workshop: Today we wrote our "About the Author" pages for our Farm Informational book. Students wrote about who they are, where they live, and who is in their family. Some students even included a fun fact about them, such as their favorite color or activity. After their writing was completed, they drew a portrait of themselves.

Social Studies: We read a Scholastic Let's Find Out titled "Animals Tongues". Students cut and created a small book, then went through and circled the sight word "the" before practicing reading alone and in partners.

Math: We used farm dice that we had colored and created last week to start a discussion about probability. Students were given the instruction to roll the dice 20 times and record their results. We then got together as a class and compared. We found that the majority of students rolled PIG the most and the majority also rolled DUCK the least. After looking at the dice, we realized that 3 of the sides were PIG, 2 sides were COW, and 1 side was DUCK. Some of the students began to understand that since there were more PIG, that is why most people rolled it the most.

Music: Today in music we practiced once again for our Kindergarten concert. I hope that you have all made plans so that you can attend the concert on the evening of April 29th. It's going to be great!!!
