Our Creation Station

Lately, in Kindergarten, we've become creative builders.  We've been collecting items that could be recycled and turning them into the most amazing creations!


The kids tell stories of the pirate ships they are creating and they huge garages for their cars.


This is a ship from Moana.


Unfortunately, the bus drivers have asked us not to make LARGE creations anymore.  We are working to keep our creations backpack sized.  We are still in need of paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls, and soup or fruit cans.  Those are the hot items at the moment!  Thanks for sending us your garbage!

Happy creating!

Math Mountains

We are working toward a firm understanding of our teen numbers (numbers 11-19) in kindergarten!


This is an example of a math mountain.  There are 12 Tiny Tumblers on top of the 12 Math Mountain.  If ten roll down one side, we know there will be two on the other.  We practiced this will all of the teen numbers, with 10 ALWAYS rolling down one side.  The kids did a GREAT job on their math mountains and most kids are writing their numbers correctly too!
