a few words

but no pictures this week. We have been sorting through materials, which kindergarteners are VERY good at, playing games, and learning "o'clock" on the clock. We have been weaving with our first grade friends, as well.  Sometimes the camera is forgotten!
Until Next Time,

and finally, games

The creative and critical thinking that went into the creation of each  child's  "game" was impressive! We finished up our games this week, and the children were very proud of their accomplishments, and were even able to dictate "directions' for playing their games. Some of the games are quite intricate and colorful and not quite playable unless the game creator is part of the process, and some of the games are logical and follow steps from  start to finish.  Look to the Kindergarten blog for another way that we spent our time this week; weaving!

Until Next Time,
Michele

finishing touches

taking steps

my bean game

jumping contest!

 we jumped and measured and added up the inches of jumps to get a grand total...and then tried again and INCREASED our grand total!

And More Games

This week we played more games, strengthening our number skills, our counting skills, and our social skills! The children then got very creative and created their OWN games, which we then tried playing. I noticed a few children adding components to their finished games after they were played for a while.

this game is about Bean Thirteen, a favorite story

somehow buttons became part of the mix
