We watched a video about the safety rules at the pool. Ask me about it...

          stay away from the edge

Kindergarten writers discussed what authors and illustrators do. Our Kindergarten writers perceive themselves as capable authors and are excited about sharing their learning with each other. Our writers think about topics that are meaningful and observe and write. They know that as writers they need to add details and go back and edit their work!
We decided to do a nonfiction writing after reading this book,
 We went over the steps how we planted our seeds..
 
Ask me what did we do First, Next and Then...    We planted basil too..

 Lucas found a word that he needed to write in his sentence..

                                        
      Nursheen remembered that I had read a word in this book that she wanted to write..
  
   Ask me to tell you what did I write about....
                                   
                            
 

                                        Celebrating our learning...
                             
                                      
                               

                     
                     


Letter and word investigators at work..
  
  
 Looking at different shapes of seeds     I am counting the petals

        "I found the words bean plant."
   
                                  "I found the word are."

 
We have been looking for different kinds of patterns and looking for patterns in nature.
We read the
book,
 We looked at different types of patterns that we could make..
                               
             Is this a pattern?  look at the pattern and make a prediction
  
                                  Ask me to read this pattern. point to the core of the pattern..
   
                  In the ABB pattern... point to the core
                   what is missing?
                       
    

   

We read the book,

Ask me if this was a fiction or non-fiction book? Ask me about the plants we are growing in our garden...

Thank you for bringing in things for our grocery store
 Look what we found on the box...
students were so excited to share their learning. Ask me to name the letters and what sound do they make?
               
                          Math at our grocery store with Mrs. Brar
Artists at work...
 " I made vertical lines."
"Look I can turn it around and they become horizontal."
