Pancakes and Pizza and...pictorial directions?

1/30/2017

Last week in Kinderland, it was food, food, and more food, as we scarfed down (wooden) pancakes and piled toppings high on our felt pizzas!

In order to create the perfect pancake, students had to follow a set of pictorial instructions that included watching for bubbles, flipping the pancake, buttering the top, and choosing toppings. The next week, their job got more complicated. Instead of just following directions given to us - we made our own!

Each person was given a menu. Their job was to select their ingredients and pass it along to another person at their table. Next, we tried making each other's pizzas! It was harder than we thought! 

I love activities like this where we can learn, work on our manners, and play all at the same time!


At the end of each lesson, we discussed the process of creating our yummy food. I provided the transition word (first, next, last, etc) and one of my great Kinder friends would help fill in the step! 

Happy eating!

First Grade Fun!

There is nothing better than watching these sweet first grade friends discover all the secrets that the library has to offer! 

This week, first grade is diving straight into Call Numbers and library organization. They are starting to put their own books away into our book carts of awesomeness instead of creating the world's biggest stack of books next to the Check In computer! 

We worked hard last week to learn the parts of a Call Number: learning that each part had a meaning that combines to give the book's "address". 

This week, we are reviewing that new information by creating our own book spines and practicing puting books in order with the Shelve-it! Game.
