Live, Love, Kindergarten

Valentine's Day in kindergarten was busy and fun!
We started our day with math centers which included sorting, graphing, number writing, and pattern blocks.







We decorated hats.









 Students have been playing "Under the Bowl".  This game begins with a fixed number of cubes.  Students take turns placing some cubes under the bowl and some cubes on top.  They take turns guessing how many are hidden under the bowl.  Students record the addition equations.


During writer's workshop, students wrote acts of kindness to give to someone special on Valentine's Day.












Students decorated a cover for their writing samples to share with parents at conferences.  They enjoyed writing about everything they love.












We used a heart shaped cookie cutter and biscuit dough to make a Valentine snack.



Read to Self and Buddy Reading are favorite activities for all kindergartners!!




While our snack was baking we played a game called Who Do You Love?
Just like musical chairs, the game starts with one less chair.  The person in the middle asks a friend who they love.  Whoever they describe has to stand up and find a different seat.  It was fun when someone said "I love everyone who likes to watch movies!"  Ha...there was lots of movement and fun!  The person left in the middle continued the game.










We decorated our biscuits with strawberry or whipped cream cheese and fresh strawberries.























Happy Valentine's Day 2012
I LOVE kindergarten!
