We got to act like the characters in the “The Mitten” By: Jan Brett. Everyone got to be one of the characters and crawl through the mitten. We then placed the characters on the mitten while we read along with the story!

Our morning routine has changed just a little bit! Each morning, after washing hands, the boys and girls will come over to the magnet board to find their name. This activity begins with each child finding their face and it also gives us a chance to talk about the letters in their names one on one. The children have really enjoyed looking at everyones pictures. It is a fun addition to the morning!
We took advantage of the little bit of the snow on the ground and brought it inside to play with! The boys and girls had the chance to scoop and pour snow and ice into cups. It was a very fun and cold activity!
The K-Prep class has been learning to measure in all different ways! We have been measuring length, height and distance using nonstandard units of measurement. We have also been measuring and comparing weight using a balance. Lastly, we have been measuring the capacity of different containers. We have been working hard and learning so much!
We measured our height with strands of yarn!
We measured arctic animals with unifix cubes (a nonstandard unit of measurement).
We measured the capacity of all different containers using beans!
We raced cars and measured the distance that each went…
We explored all kinds of nonstandard units of measurement! We measured with straws, crayons, pencils and more.
How many straws is our window sill?
How many cubes is our twistable crayon?
How many straws is our academic center?
How many pencils is our class atlas?
How many crayons is our easel?
How many crayons is our manipulatives center?
How many straws is our word wall?
After we explored the classroom with our measurement tools, we made predictions as to how many cubes long new items in our classroom would be, then we tested our predictions to see how close we came. We had a some GREAT predictions!
