Teddy bear math

We have had so much fun this week in math, on Wednesday we brought in our Teddy bears and we graphed them by size, color and clothing. So many Teddy bears what fun. On Thursday we did gummy bear math! It was a tasty math lesson. We sorted by color then we graphed them and counted them. On Friday we will be doing addition problems bases on the information we recoded on our graphs. We have also learned some great facts about bears, we will be writing about them on Friday. Our writing will become another class book. I hope you are enjoying reading them as much as they are enjoying writing them. I will post pictures of the bear activities soon.

Also thank you to my science day helpers, I am sorry I was out sick that day, I always enjoy hands on science. Speaking of science, we have an experiment going on in our class involving evaporation. We started it when we read about Bob the snowman. (he evaporated into the clouds). It is amazing to see how much water has evaporated so far.

Well stop back soon to see our bear pictures.

snowman soup continued































I wish there was an easier way to get all these pictures on the blog, but I haven't figured it out yet. Sorry for the split in pictures.

January in Kindergarten































The month is really flying by, we have been busy with activities involving snowmen, penguins and Next week we will start our unit on bears. We did some snowman math, made some cute snowmen which are hanging in our class. We also had some snowman soup, and graphed whether we liked it with marshmallows or with out. It was delicious! This week we learned about penguins, wrote some facts about them and made our very own penguins which will be in our hallway by the end of the week. Next week we will be learning about bears. Please have your child bring a bear in on Wednesday we will be graphing them. We will also do gummy bear math and all of our writing this week will be centered around the facts we learn about bears. Pictures be posted next week after we are done with our unit on bears!
