Weekly pictures

Here are the finished snakes, dangling in our classroom.  The children say it looks like a jungle.  You may notice that all the snakes are hung behind or beside the main work areas...

 We played an umbrella bean bag toss game.  To make it a little more academic, I added some word families.  They had to find a consonant bean bags, and then read the word it made.  (Her hand is covering it up a bit, but this is the word fun :)

 We finished up our unit about plants and seeds.  At this center children were making pictures with wood and/or seeds.

 Math game I learned at a conference last year.  Knowing how many counters are in one hand, they have to figure out how many counters are in the closed hand (I tell them how many there are altogether).  We've played before, but this time, we wrote the addition sentences.  Yes, we're doing ALGEBRA in Kindergarten (except we call it a game).  We mostly stuck to numbers 12 and under, but I threw out a few optional challenges.

 We ended the day by playing games with sponges, balloons, and WATER!
