Lions and Sheep and Donkeys. Oh My!

This is the first week of our new unit (my favorite!), animals! This week was all about animals that are in the Bible. We had a lot of fun talking about different animals and where they can be found in different Bible stories.

Of course when talking about different Bible animals, you have to talk about Noah's Ark! Beyond that, we thought about what it would be like to live in an animal filled ark for 40 days! The overall feeling, STINKY! We also made hand print animals on Monday.

Tuesday was picture day, and there was so much excitement! Everyone did a wonderful job giving their best smile! We also talked about sheep on Tuesday , and different Bible stories that we can be found in.It was amazing to see kindergartners perspectives of Jesus being our Shepard. We also had a special guest come in and talk about the sheep that they own. All the students even got to bring home their own wool!

Since Wednesday was Veteran's day, we also discussed thanking veterans. We spent some time writing thank you's to Veterans, and making poppies to help us remember Veterans day.

 Thursday we talked about lions in the Bible! I've decided that if a lion came into our classroom, I don't know who would have the louder roar, the lion or my students! We made a fun lion craft.

In phonics we have been busy learning to sound out more and more words. This week we focused on "m" and began to learn "o". Our reading book was about Moses this week, and the student's were excited to read a story they knew!

In math we are growing an understanding of 30's and ten and ones place. The students are getting quick with counting, and growing in number recognition.  

I hope everyone has a fun weekend! Try not to get swept away with all this wind!
