We all got to create a math story problem and then showed it to Mrs. Derrickx’s 1st grade class!
Here’s some more math we’ve been doing:
And here’s some reading and writing:
And drawings of a polar bear…
…and a witch.
It was haircut day! While I waited for my turn, I did what Daddy and I call “the joke dance.”
Here’s the “before” picture:
Then after my haircut, we went to my school’s playground to play.
Here’s the “after” picture:
After the Fall Party, we wrote about something we did. I also did some other writing and played with pattern blocks.
Mrs. Flagg gave me a nice thank you note for the book I got our class from the Book Fair.
Today was the Kindergarten Fall Celebration! I tried the pumpkin bread we baked yesterday, which was pretty good, but my favorite were the apples.
Mommy and a mom from the other kindergarten class were in charge of making sure we had fun crafts. I made a little Dixie cup squirrel…
…and also a fall leaf person.
Fall leaf person is excited for Thanksgiving break!
It was a beautiful sunny day, so we headed to my school playground for some fun. It’s the best play structure around!
My first kindergarten field trip was to Lee Farms (where I had many preschool field trips before).
Our school bus was late in arriving, so we spent some time in the library first. Mommy was a chaperone and was in charge of me and Anna.
The first thing we all did when we got there was splash in puddles!
A man told us about a bunch of varieties of pumpkins.
And another man showed us how they made apple cider in the olden days.
We saw a bunch of animals, including chickens. As usual, this was my least favorite part. But Anna loved them all.
Then I picked out my pumpkin! We’re going to carve it before Halloween.
My kindergarten class had a baking session at the Pine Diner (a kitchen at my school).
We made apple pie pizzas and got to try them after. I liked the baking, but didn’t care for the taste. I didn’t say that out loud because some kids liked them and that would be yucking someone’s yum.
These were the instructions we were given before baking. We guessed what would be the easiest part and what would be the hardest. I guessed flattening the dough would be the hardest, but it was actually the easiest!
At school, we worked on rhyming. I was given a set of pictures and glued them down based on their sound.
(Warning: there is a drawing of a snake!)
We also did some experiments with apples. (There are TONS of apples growing on the trees in our school garden.) I made sure to add a drawing of a roller coaster on this one.
For the first two weeks of school, the kindergarten classes had recess in the preschool playground.
Tomorrow, we start playing in the big playground. So I asked Mommy if we could have a practice session today. I love the big playground!
