Why do we wash our hands?
We have been talking a lot about how we wash our hands and why it is important to do so. I am hoping that this experiment with our slices of bread will also show the kids why it is important.
The students thought it was funny to walk around like doctors after we washed our hands! They were not suppose to touch anything from the washroom all the way back to the classroom.
Lenten Pretzel!
On Friday we made pretzels in kindergarten. We learned that the pretzel shape was invented by a monk during Lent in the early 600's. He made the pretzel shape out of scraps of bread dough to teach the children how to fold their arms across their chest during prayer. The word Pretzel comes from the Latin word "Pretiola" which means little reward.
Everyone had their own way of rolling the dough to make it long enough to make a pretzel.
We then talked about what our favourtie part of making pretzels was... A few students said rolling and smelling the dough but the highlight was eating our fresh baked pretzels!
This week we also started our R.E.D. (read every day) project! The students can choose a book from my leveled reading books and bring them home to read for one night. Thank-you for your help in making this program work.
I am so happy with how our shamrock art turned out! The students did an amazing job making all the white space vanish. They had the chance to work with different types of paper from regular to construction to warping paper and testing out what laying and different glue would do.
Great work kindergarten.
