Writing in Science

We are learning how to write to document our understanding and to teach others. 

Take a peek at our science journals to learn all about seeds and growing plants. 

We investigated to seeds to observed their parts before planting them in soil.

We can diagram, label and explain how to plant seeds.
We know that seeds need soil, sun, water and air to live.

We read Eric Carl's book The Tiny Seed and were inspired to paint textured paper to
help us represent the different parts of a flower.

We can make a word mean more than one by adding an s to the end of the word.
We know that sometimes the /z/ sound tries to trick us at the end of words,
but we can't be fooled anymore!

We are CVC word experts!
We know how to tap words and to listen closely for short vowel sounds.

We can compose shapes with pattern blocks.

We can name shapes and talk about how they are the same and different from other shapes.  

We can compose shapes on geo-boards with rubber bands.
The pegs help us organize our building plans and talk about our shapes.

We can play Capture the Number to practice naming numerals and
talk about numbers that come just before and just after.

We can read and match numerals 1-50!

We can count on to solve addition problems.

We love to write in kindergarten!
The writing center is filled with writing prompts to choose from.
As of late, we like to write about spring activities, family and pets. 

We learned how to draw shapes to help us draw realistic self portraits.

We love to read! We can read independently for 15 minutes! Yeah!
