We are making fantastic progress in the garden this week. Kids helped Julie, Henry's mom get the garden ready for plants by breaking up clumps of compost. Today we will be planting some veggie starts. After the last frost, which we hope is next week, we will finish putting everything in. Yay!
Yesterday Henry's dad, Andrew visited our art class and spoke about what architects do. He told us that architects have to make many drafts of their work. He showed us a floor plan of a recent project he did.
Afterwards, kids had a great time creating their own floor plans. Some used window cutouts that Andrew brought and some preferred to draw everything themselves.
It was a great lesson. Ask your kindergartner about what architects do!
Today we finished the GRADE - hurray! In math every student's assignment was to count the chairs in the classroom. As always, kids came up with some great strategies of figuring out this problem. We are sending home "Eyes at Home," a homework assignment based our yesterday's activity in which we counted every child's eyes. How many (human) eyes in your household?
