The Mitten- Hedgehog Show

 

On Friday, December 15th, Ms. Pavlicek from the Burlington Science Center came to show us the Hedgehog Show. This show culminates our book study and story retell. Some of our students also did their own Mitten Retell (see earlier post). We learned that all the animals mole, rabbit, owl, badger, fox, bear and mouse are all animals that can be found in North America. The only animal in the story not found in North America is the hedgehog. The students enjoyed learning more about the hedgehog and then actually see Starla the Science Center's new hedgehog run around in her little playpen and then all students were given the opportunity to touch the hedgehog. During the test at the end of the show, Ms. P. asked the students to demonstrate how the hedgehog stays safe. The students moved away from the threat, rolled into a ball and made a squeaking noise. The students acted just like a hedgehog! It was a great show!

Highlights of the Week of December 11th

 It was another busy week in kindergarten. We completed our holiday books. We created some holiday gifts and we worked on our Fundations, Heggerty, math, and writing. Our students are enjoying our Mystery stocking writing. They especially love the revealing of the items in the stocking and being able to take the prizes home. Thank you to Room 101 families for providing the funds for these items and for our room parents for purchasing and bringing them into the classroom.
