Kindergarteners are excited to be learning about ecosystems in ELA, particularly about the Savanna. They have been exploring its features, plants, animals, and food webs. In celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday, the students enjoyed reading the author’s books, which have helped them practice rhyming skills. In math, the students are focused on teen numbers and are practicing counting and adding by grouping numbers into tens. Throughout March, the class is discussing weather changes, comparing conditions to a lion or a lamb. Additionally, the students participated in a wonderful workshop with the Southampton Animal Shelter, where they learned to make toys for shelter animals alongside a furry rabbit friend. Many families generously donated supplies for the shelter animals as well!
