Persuasive Writing
Kindergarten writers have been busy writing up a storm in our persuasive unit! These writers have discovered the formula for sharing their opinions and convincing others. These young writers know that in order to convince someone, they need to give lots of reasons in their writing. Students collaborated on a shared writing to create a petition to help keep the backyard clean at The Cooper School. These young scholars were delighted to use their new knowledge to write letters to make change.
Puppets!
This week, Kindergarteners kicked off our next social studies unit – all about PUPPETRY! Students considered all of the puppets they are familiar with, when they are typically used, as well as all of the different styles of puppets they’ve seen! This week, students have been looking into marionettes, hand puppets, finger puppets, shadow puppets, sock puppets and more! We can’t wait to begin crafting puppets of our own!
Solid Shapes
Students were so ready to begin exploring solid shapes this week. Kindergarteners could not wait to share all that they know about different solid shapes and what makes them unique. We were excited to hear all of the things students were familiar with in our world that are made of spheres, pyramids, cones, cubes, and cylinders!
