Our Play Is Our Work... Featuring Mr. DeLuca's Class - Week of Nov. 11th

There's always lots to share and tell about here in our kindergarten classrooms and as the old saying goes... "A picture is worth a thousand words". This week we have pictures to share. Our way of documenting the learning!
As we met during parent interviews, many of you told us how much you enjoyed seeing pictures on our blog of our students working and playing!
Over the next few weeks we'll feature one kindergarten classroom each week with captions and pictures that tell about our work and play that week.
This week we'll begin by featuring a collection of pictures from Mr. DeLuca's classroom. One of the highlights is our work starting an 'Under The Sea' inquiry. As you look through the pictures, take time to read the captions that are included along the bottom or on the right hand side of the page.

Along the right hand side of this page we've also included a list of links (under KinderPics) where you'll be able to find the links to our photo albums!

Exploring Measurement

Today students were invited to estimate the circumference of our class pumpkin. Using a non-standard measuring tool (yarn), students estimated the length they would need to measure the circumference and then measured and compared their results with the other classmates. They found that some pieces were “too long”, some were “too short” and Milana found that her estimate was “just right!”
