Hello Parents,
This week
we continued our exploration of bears. We were able to do an experiment with
frozen berries. We invited students to test their five senses and asked them to
think from a bear’s perspective. Is it easy to smell or taste frozen food? How
hard might it be to find food in the winter? Why do you think bears hibernate
in the winter?
A second hands-on
exploration guided us to compare our hands and foot prints to bears. The students
were using language such as: longer than, wider than, bigger or smaller. This
activity is perfectly aligned with the math curriculum in Kindergarten. And our
students demonstrated very good understanding of this learning outcome.
I look
forward to seeing you during the parent-teacher conferences next Thursday and
Friday.
Have a great weekend
Ms. Dilov
