'Y' as a vowel

Today we explored how the letter 'y' can act as vowel in words and mimic other vowel sounds.  The English language can be so complicated!  Our class is learning there are lots of rules to learn to read and there are many words that break the rules.
We started the story of the Good Samaritan at Bible time, focusing on how Jesus told stories to teach people how to live.
Subtraction is coming along nicely in math.  We are learning to focus and think as we work through picture problems.
The class had fun shooting baskets in P.E., then we heard a cute informational story about a mother dog who raised a piglet with her litter of puppies.
In Science we made some of our own static electricity and used oppositely charges ions to move paper!  Then the class drew mini-posters of what they demonstrated, comparing the balloon to a lightning cloud.
At learning centers we played a word game, built, designed with shapes and sculpted with clay.

It was a good day of learning and fun in Kindergarten,
