Today's Learning

Today in kindergarten we had the opportunity to log onto World Math Day and set up our avitars and play the game during our computer lab time.We also learned about George Washington through listening to a bookflix book and doing a fun puzzler at the end. We discussed that George Washington was known as 'The Father Of Our Country," he fought in a war, he was the First President Of The United States, and he was born on February 22nd in Virginia.  We talked about other facts about him, but these were the "most important."
Today, we read a great book called The Important Book. This book helped our kindergarten friends see how authors use details.  I explained to them that great authors always closely observe the world around them and notice tiny details about things. 
After reading the children were asked by the author ( ;) WINK!) to create a new page for the book.  Each child was given an object, and they were asked to write about the importance of the object.
They did a SUPER job!
