Today our art lesson was on the style of the artist Jackson Pollock. The kids loved exploring his free style of slapping and dripping paint with emotion. They made beautiful combinations of yellow, blue and red paint with strings.
This morning we began our day catching up on prayer requests to see how God had answered our prayers. We took some time to think about asking for forgiveness if we had hurt anyone recently. Many of our students are becoming very good at examining their own hearts and lives and wanting to ask for forgiveness. It is sweet to us whenever we see it happen.
In reading we reviewed digraphs and took a little quiz. We learned more about money in math and touched on paper bills. Students continued practicing adding different amounts of coins.
After lunch we heard an interesting story about the three little pigs in as an architectural tale. This prompted a great discussion on that career and how it is applied to many different structures. Students identified event details from our story.
We are continuing to have each student present their timeline books on their year in Kindergarten. After they read their book to the class, their peer give them positive encouragement. We are posting these videos to each student's SeeSaw journal. If you haven't seen your child's yet, it's coming!
During learning centers we visited a play store and bought items with real money by adding different coins together. Students also played a math game on the iPads, designed shape structures and measured and counted how tall their classmates were, then recorded that data on the board. It was a good time of reviewing math skills through play.
Add learning to your Memorial Day weekend and have fun,
Mrs. Luoma
