Literacy: Build a Bug Motel
Materials:  pinecones, rocks, sticks, leaves, bark chips, wood, etc, some kind of container to build your bug hotel in  

Please watch the 2 stories with guest readers from Mrs. Conley's house.  

Leah will read Bugs, Bugs, Bugs!

Dylan will read What is an Insect?

We hope you enjoy the guest readers.

Here is one more story for today: Bug Hunt

Now that we have heard a few stories about bugs now you will have a chance to get outside and build your own bug hotel.  What will your bug need to survive?  What kind of bugs do you want to put in your hotel?  Have fun as you build a cozy hotel for your bugs!

Math: Bug Parade
Materials: pencil, scissors and colors

Please enjoy the story The Best Bug Parade

As you are building your bug hotel, please use words from the story big, bigger, biggest, small, smaller, smallest, long, long, longest, short, shorter, shortest to describe the natural items you find.

Draw and color your own imaginary bugs. Cut them out and arrange then in order of size.  Line them up for your best bug parade.

Challenge:  More fun with the math concepts presented in the "Best Bug Parade"
Materials: tape measure or ruler, ball, a coin

Look for things in the real world, family members, pets, furniture, plates, flowers and discuss their size relationships. "Who is bigger?" "Which is smallest?". You can extend the concept by asking "which is older?" "which is youngest?" "which is darker?" "which is lightest?"

Take a tape measure or ruler and compare plants in your garden or a nearby park.

Use the vocabulary "long, longer, longest" and "short, shorter, shortest" to discuss the distance a ball is kicked or thrown.  

Play coin toss on the sidewalk and measure each toss to see which is longer, shortest, etc.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  Kindergarten was very fun today.  All of our arrival centers were about Halloween. We printed halloween words, played bingo, roll and count game with rings, crafts etc. We loved seeing everyone dressed up in their costumes!  We drew pictures of ourselves in our Halloween costumes in our journals.  Some of us drew pictures of pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and trick or treating with our families.  We used Smarties to sort by color and graph the number of Smarties in the box.  Ask your child what color they had most in their box.  After students graphed their Smarties, they got to eat them.  This was the highlight of their day! All students had gym today with Mr. Der . What game did your child play today? Ask them to share. Students came home with overflowing colored folders.  Please empty the folders out and return them on Monday.  Every child has more book circles in their folders.  Thank you for continuing to read with your child and send the circles back.  We are
