We created writing about why we need food shelves in communities with illustrations highlighting our ideas.
We had fun snowshoeing this afternoon too!
Today's photos here.
Today we read another amazing story that connects to Global Goal #2, Zero Hunger. In the story we explored how Rani devises a clever plan to share with others. We made mathematical connections as well.

We started creating our very own Global Goal passports today too.
Today we are exploring 3 big ideas: migration, adaptation, and hibernation. Look below for today's inquiry challenge.
Today Mrs. Clapton visited kindergarten. She showed us how to use Sora. This is available to all children. It is a wonderful tool to use to listen to and read along with real books. Your child can have up to 3 books at a time on their shelf.

Today we watched a Mystery Science lesson and learned about what garbage trucks do with garbage. Think about the waste in your home. How can you create less waste?
Today we read to more wonderful Global Goal stories about hunger. The children had an opportunity to respond to the stories through writing, speaking, and create a favorite character. Through listening and thinking about what it is like for others we have an opportunity to experience empathy, think about what it must be like for others in different parts of the world and where they go to get their food.
Today we began exploring Global Goal #2, Zero Hunger. We had a GoogleMeet with Jen from the food shelf who talked to us about what a food shelf is and why we need them in communities.
We are collecting large, brown paper bags to decorate for the food shelf. Please send in any bags that we could use.
We read a great story about the colors we eat. Today at lunch we made lots of connections with the food we ate too.

Today's Inquiry Challenge:
The children are busy connecting the Global goals to the exploration we are involved in about the environment. Our classroom map helps us think about what the land and water are like in other places in the world. This helps us make connections with our positive actions can make a difference for everyone.

Today the children worked in different literacy stations where they had hands-on opportunities to create the sight words and letters we are exploring in kindergarten.
Today we read another great Pete the Cat story. The children wrote about their favorite part and created a detailed illustration with Mr. E.

The children made many mathematical connections like number recognition, counting order, making predictions about what number is next, and number formation. The books also helped us explore odd and even numbers too!

Today we read a wonderful story about the life of a worm. We explored story characters and we noticed that some books have special features like the date. This can help us understand where and what time of year an observation is being made.
