100th Day!

Monday was the 100th day of school! We had an absolute blast doing fun activities all day long. We made necklaces with 100 beads and made 100th day crowns. Each student made a piece for our  kindergarten 100th day quilt which will be created soon! In math, students played Roll to 100 with a partner. They rolled the dice and tried to get to 100 first. Today some students participated in a 100 cup challenge, seeing how quickly they could stack 100 cups. The posters the students created were amazing are are displayed in the hallway outside our room!

Career Presentation

We had an exciting visitor today! Farah's mom, Shabbana, came in to teach us all about her job as a microbiologist. Students did an experiment on spreading germs using sprinkles. Half of the class had sprinkles in their hands and then shook hands and high fived with the others and looked at their hands to see how many of the sprinkles transferred to their hands. Students also tried on safety gloves and filled test tubes with colored water to pretend they were scientist working in the lab. Thank you so much for coming today and teaching us all about your job as a scientist.

Counting by 5s

Students are working on skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s. We have practiced in many different ways including laying out cards in the correct order with partners. Students have also used 100's charts and circled patterns when skip counting.
