Cooking, STAAR with our book buddies, Measurement, Animal characteristics, Earth Day


STAAR
In Kindergarten, we do not take the STAAR test, but our Book Buddies do!  To give them a little encouragement and good luck, we gave them little treats every day.  We KNOW they did great!!



Cooking Ravens
To celebrate the letter Rr, we made Raven cookies.  They were they yummiest birds we have ever eaten!!






Measurement
This week, we are studying non-standard measurement.  This means measuring objects using blocks, pictures, links, or anything else.

We started our learned by tracing our foot and comparing them to each other's.  
We learned that some are larger, some are shorter, and some are equal.


Next we used our Kindergarten feet to measure things around the room.

 We then used cubes and measured how tall we are.














With our partner, we then found things in the room that were longer than, smaller than, or equal to 10 cubes. We learned that it was very hard to find things that were equal to 10 cubes!!!







Animal characteristics
In Science, we are studying the characteristics of animals and how they are are the same or different from other animals.

We learned and wrote about Chameleons. 

We compared birds and mammals and wrote about them.

We charted the characteristics of birds, mammals, and reptiles. 

Earth Day
To celebrate Earth Day, we learned about how to take care of our Earth.  We wrote about what we could do and then we used that to practice it all day.  We even cared for our school by picking up trash outside!
