The Sense of Taste
Today we talked about the sense of taste. We went to The Kinder Cafe. We tasted sour, sweet, salty, bitter and even umami . Can you guess what I tasted. We talked about patterns. We made patterns with out math boxes. We are starting to sound out words in our lifebooks. We are clapping the syllables and stretching out the sounds. The Gingerbread Man sent us an email. He said he made his own reading box and that he was learning the same snap words. We looked for words in his message. The snap words are words we should be able to read in a snap. The words we are learning are: the, of, and, a, to, it, in is, you, that and it. We had a fun day in KIndergarten but we were able to go outside. We were so happy.
