Bumblebees worked with the Ladybugs and Gumshoes.

We played numberline games!

 

Dice and numbers and counters and lots of cheering!

Lots of fun trying on the gear at the fire station! We got in the truck, learned lots about safety and had a great time with some very nice firefighters.

 
 

 

The Bumblebees are very creative with their math manipulatives!

Halloween was so much fun thanks to all the parents who worked hard to give us a wonderful party! We ate and did crafts and played games in our costumes. It was a wonderful time!

Working with the Ladybugs and the Gumshoes, Kindergarten students measured, counted, estimated, and carved pumpkins!

Fun at the pumpkin patch!

Kindergarten is studying trees!

This week, Seabury kindergartners: 

• "Wondered" about trees: ("I wonder if they go deep, deep, deep under the ground until they hit something").
• Went on a nature walk.
• Collected (mostly) fallen treasures
• Made art
• And documented what they learned.

  

The Bumblebees are also working on shapes the first weeks of school!

Examining the Pacific Coast for Animals

Over the past few weeks we have focused our studies on tide pools with animals native to the Pacific Northwest. To give our Bumblebees some handson experience, we took two field trips to Dash Point and Dumas Bay to seek out many of the creatures during extremely low tides.  At the first stop, we came across a "fortune" of sand dollars.  It was fascinating to see them in their natural habitat. You could even see their tiny tentacles moving in the sun as they burrowed themselves in the sand.  At the second beach, we found mainly crabs, lots of seaweed, and a moon snail.  Our hunt for a starfish did not go as we had hoped, but perhaps this summer the kids will be out on the water and have more success!
