This week, we have been learning all about Chistopher Columbus, which isn't the easiest person for kindergarten kiddos to learn about, but the kids have done a great job!
We've also been celebrating fire safety week and using firemen to help us learn about the number 7.
| We watched a video on United Streaming then read a short biography and completed a circle map together |
| Student version of the circle map...you can get it here. |
| We attached our circle maps to these super cute Columbus crafts...thanks Kim Adsit! |
| The kids loved these!! |
| We made Columbus' three ships with our handprints and labeled them. This idea came from pinterest, but I cannot find where the original idea came from. Anyone know? |
| We practiced our sight word the and stretched the word had {ignore the sail at the bottom...it fell off of another} |
| We practiced adding one more until we had 7 firemen on our ten frame |
| We sang Deeanna's Brave Firemen song to work on decomposing. You can see the song in her fire safety pack here. |
| Making equations |
| This also came from Deeanna's pack (she used paint instead of paper). It helped us practice our counting. |
