A Busy End to October

We've been so busy in kindergarten this week! Here are some of the things we've been working on...

We finished up our October calendar notebooks this week. The kids are loving these! I think the patterns are their favorite part, especially when I let them choose their own colors. Every child can make a three or four color pattern and label it now! A few of them even came up with some patterns today that we haven't worked on yet.

Coming to the whiteboard to work is a favorite!

We've been working on dot patterns during math time. One of our goals in kindergarten is to be able to recognize a number by looking at the dots (without counting them.) These Monster Roll and Color pages are so fun for the kids to work on this skill! This week we started using two dice at a time and working on bigger number dot patterns.

Of course, the highlight of our week had to be Teddy Bear Day! Everyone brought in and shared about their favorite teddy bear and we did lots of activities to go along with it! All the teddy bears were very well behaved and allowed to sit at our tables with us. The highlight of the day was making our how-to book for making a teddy bear paw print snack...and then making our snacks!

Teddy Bear Day Fun!
