¡Bienvenidos a Kinder!
Welcome to our AM and PM Kindergarten Blog
Hola Kinder families! We have had a busy start to May; already the second last month of the school year! We have continued our inquiry lesson about bugs from the previous month. First, we brainstormed an extensive list of bugs that students would see during the spring. Then, we explored what they already knew about a few of them - we focused on mariposas (butterflies), abejas (bees), hormigas (ants) and arañas (spiders). Many of them already knew some very interesting fun facts about these bugs! After that, we took a closer look at those specific bugs and discovered the different parts of a bug, and some of the features that make these bugs unique. Some of them have 2 body parts versus 3. Some of them have 2 eyes, 5 eyes, or even 8 eyes! Some of them had 6 legs, while others had 8. These observations quickly captivated the students' attention and interest. We decided to build these bugs out of materials that we already had in the classroom. With the students' help, we collected various materials and got to work! With the use of LOTS of liquid and hot glue, their creative pieces came to life! Here are a few snapshots of their creations. (Painting their bugs will be taking place later this week!) To go along with our bug theme, the students had an art class through Young Rembrandts who came to our school last week. Through these guided step-by-step drawings, the artist also taught us many interesting facts about either bees or butterflies. Lastly, I hope you all had a wonderful Mothers' Day over the weekend. And we hope you enjoyed the special cards that your littles ones made for you in Kindergarten!
