Trying Things Tuesday

It has been a while since I have been able to post.

Last Friday, we had a lock down drill  and an assembly.
Monday, I tried to use the camera only to find I forgot to charge it.
Today, we have been busy testing for midterm grades which will come out on Friday.

I did want to let you know some of the ideas we have been covering in Kindergarten lately.

In math we are working on problems such as:  I see 4 balloons.  Some are orange and some are purple.  Draw the balloons.


What we are looking for, are ways to make 4.  But, unlike when some of us grew up, we do not teach it like:

2+2=4  and 3+1=4

In fact, at this stage we do not use plus or equals signs at all.  Instead, we are looking at our 4 balloons and figuring out what they might look like.  So, both Kelan's and Isaac's answers are correct.


  • Can you point to the author and the illustrator? 
  • What does an author do?  
  • What does an illustrator do?


We have also continued to work on our handwriting.  This week we are working on the letter Pp.
