I am a poet!

Poetry

We started off our poetry unit by letting every Beach Buddy know that they were not just a writer, but now a .....poet.  From reading poetry every day, students started exploring how to write their very own poems. They were inspired by sounds, songs, objects, the outdoors, and other poems.  It has been an amazing couple of weeks seeing these 5 and 6 year olds become poets.  


The power of poetry......

Presidents

The Beach Buddies learned all about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Barack Obama last week.  We learned that George Washington was called "The Father of Our Country" and that he was our first president.  We learned that Abraham Lincoln loved to read and that he was our 16th president.  Finally we learned about Barack Obama and that he is now our 44th president. 






Ask your Beach Buddy what else they learned about these presidents!

Let's Measure!

The Beach Buddies had a blast comparing lengths using the terms longer and shorter, and then measuring using non standard units of measurement last week.  We used cubes, paper clips, squares, dominoes, and links to measure.  Some students even chose to challenge themselves and compare their measurements using the greater and less than signs. Measurement fun!
