               Ms. C’s Second Week


Wow! What a wonderful second week with my kinders. This week was filled with a lot of different, exciting things to discover and learn about! It is wonderful to see that excitement the kids have while learning. This is a glimpse of what we were up to this week, take a look: 


We have done research in the library over what animals live on a farm through books! Here is some of our lovely friends listening to some farm books.

 This is where the students used QR codes to take them to the internet to answer questions about the different farm animals. They were better than I was at figuring out how to scan those codes! One friend said, “It’s so easy Ms. C, here let me show you how to do this. You can sit in my chair.” Who said students can’t teach!
Here is a closer look at the QR scanner and the sheets of paper with the questions the students had to answer through research. They did marvelous! 
At this station the students used I Pads to build their own farms! They had so much fun planting crops and taking care of the animals. When you get an extra moment or need a laugh ask your child how the voice on the app said tomatoes. I feel like they planted a whole field of tomatoes just to hear the voice on the app say it over and over. 



Loving Science!

 It is great to see the kids really loving science. We talked about the body parts of animals on the farm. This included the similarities/differences of the animals on the farm. Ask your child what animals in a pig family are or what are some products we get from chickens? I am sure they would love to fill you in. 


We ended the week with our Funny Farm. The students had a blast combining two animals together to make a new one. We have some very creative students that is for sure! 
Here is one friend combining chicken parts with cow parts. His new name for this fabulous animal-  A cHoW.

 Again, here is another look at our FUNNY FARM! I love the PICKEN in the picture. Priceless!



Our buckaroo
Our friend here finished his Buckaroo week with a great show and tell. He brought his favorite toy, Mr. Buzz Lightyear. What a great time the class had talking and asking questions about Buzz. 

 Look at our lovely buckaroo and buzz. So sweet!...
                  

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!
Sincerely,
Ms. C
