A recent Art lesson talking about oceans and the beach.
Kindergarten students completed their 100th day of class by creating a “100 Day necklace.”
From the first day of school, way back in August, we start logging the day and date of the Kindergarten class. We use a number roll to do it and each day we talk about the date and the number of days in school. This simple interactive conversation becomes a lesson in knowing the date, counting sequentially and even remembering the total count. It also stirs up excitement about reaching the actual date! Near the 100th day we celebrate the accomplishment with activities such as counting 100 steps on the playground, counting 100 objects around the room and doing special art projects, like the necklace.
We also completed our January Kindergarten studies on the solar system and spent considerable time making our own models.
