We read the story & my fabulous teammate loaned me her retelling palm tree {from Lakeshore} so the kids could velcro the letters to the palm tree. Then, we listened to the book/song on DVD. That was all we had time for this morning.
After math, we used some time to do some science - exploring a coconut via our 5 senses. I made this anchor chart {inspired from Mrs. Lee}:
Here are some pics of the Kinders touching & listening to the coconut:
Finally, we ended the fun with a coconut tasting. We ate coconut shavings & drank some coconut milk - we graphed our results:
Tomorrow we're using 2 coconuts for a sink/float experiment & bowling for letters. I looked for Alphabets cereal - wanted to have a fun snack, but couldn't find 'em. To end the day we're making Chicka Chicka hats, using green paper, sentence strips. & gluing dye cut letters to spell their name.
In other news, I have a parent volunteer EVERY am/pm of the week - I'm so EXCITED! I also have a practicum student this year, observing - seeing if education is his future career choice. The kids were very sweet & welcoming...it was fun to see them respond so positively to another adult.
Happy Friday & long weekend {Labor Day Monday},
Miss Kristan King
