This week, I had the opportunity to attend the VT Kindergarten Conference in Burlington! The focus was on the importance of learning through play. When we play, we learn—and that learning becomes fun, meaningful, and impactful. Don’t forget to make time to play, everyone!
In the classroom, we continued exploring the fascinating desert ecosystem. Through our reading, we are learning that this dry environment is home to many different organisms that have adapted to survive in harsh conditions. Books are helping us open our eyes to the world around us and discover new and interesting facts!
This week, we also began discussing long vowel sounds, especially in words that have a “magic e,” such as take, Pete, kite, cone, and cute. Notice how the “e” makes the vowel say its name!
In math, we had fun playing games like Teen Bump, where students roll a die and add 10 to their number. Playing Bump with partners is always exciting, especially when we get to “bump” each other off a space!
In Social Studies, we focused on our town of Underhill. We brainstormed places that are important in our community, and students illustrated their neighborhoods—thoughtfully including details like neighbors, roads, trees, and other features of their surroundings.
