Our Boulan Buddies from the middle school come to visit our classroom nearly every Tuesday. This week, I was able to set up a rotation of educational games for the Kindergarten students to complete with their buddies. Each Boulan buddy was able to explain and assist the children with the activities, giving our buddies the chance to practice their leadership skills too! The games ranged from Sight Word Bingo to Counting out Money using our classroom play money.
We also begin a fairy tale unit this week, beginning with The Three Little Pigs. There are several different versions of the story, varying from the original to those told from the Wolf’s perspective as well as the complete opposite books such as The Three Little Wolves and the Big, Bad Pig Students had the opportunity to hear several versions of this fairy tale, which helped when making connections through our activities. Each child made finger puppets, a cover page illustration for the story during Computers, a Three Little Pigs story map, and even wrote a letter to Mr. Wolf! Here are some pictures of students acting out our story with the help of Character Masks during our week:
