SPRING TIME IN OUR 3 YEARS OLD CLASSROOMS

Hi there:
So apparently spring has finally come.. or so it seems. So it was about time to start talking about plants, flowers, seeds and bugs.


We started creating a spring bulletin board. we just looove painting.


there aren't more pics of the process as lots of kindergarteners hands and paint were involved lol.

this is the result:

we will be adding little bugs as we work on them.


With Asun in the spanish classes we planted seeds and we work in English on sequencing  how flowers grow and on relating numbers to quantity:




One of our centers works was relating words to sounds and they did an amazing job:

This great activities come from this fantastic TPT product.

We have also been making paths on the smart board. We have such great fine motor skills ;)


In other news, our school is part of the fruit and vegetables program, and we are given fruit and vegetables to give our kiddos at snack time. At the beginning we were a bit exceptical about how well they would eat the fruit. But as everyone was eating the samewe must say that the results are being great.

DOWN ON THE FARM PART 1

It has been a while since i last updated my blog but i've been bussy as a bee studying for my exam which i passed!!! so i'm really happy to say that apart from an english teacher in primary now i am a proper kindergarten teacher :).

So here is our FARM UNIT we have been enjoying it a lot:

Kids wrote things from home to add to our farm corner:  
                                    

We talked about the things we knew and wanted to know about the farm:

We completed a poster with the animals that live on the farm, we had to check some books because we wanted to add more animals to the farm.

We graph our favorite farm animal:

 

We have been classifying farm animals and working on "more and less" concepts.
