In the last few weeks of school even our pretend area had a pretty "serious" theme. Transformed from a pretend Vet's Office to a pretend Science Lab, the children used tweezers, magnifying glasses, balance scales, tracing paper and more to delve into discovery.
Our final Social Studies unit on mapping had us thinking about "zooming in and zooming out". We made pages in our Kindergarten Memory Books that showed a map of the classroom, a map of the school, and a map of the playground.
In this last picture, the children are looking at the playground and trying to capture it with the idea of a "bird's eye view". Not an easy task! Thank goodness we have become really comfortable with the idea that practice makes progress not perfect.
Another sign that the children have become incredibly capable was a writing activity we did in which each classmate wrote note home about major learning from the week.
Just out of the frame to the right is a white board with a list we brainstormed of activities that the friends could choose to write and draw about in their letters.
Tangrams were a great way to wrap up the year in Math. Sort of full circle with the Shape Unit in the fall.
And Fairy Houses have been constants throughout the whole year!
