Kindergarten Riddles

We have been working hard on riddles in Kindergarten and this week we got together with our 2nd grade C.A.T. friends (Cross Age Tutoring). We meet with our CAT friends every Friday to work on a different reading skill - predicting, questioning, predicting, summarizing, characters, etc. This week our skill was making inferences. The 2nd grade students read poems to us and then we had to infer what or who the poem was talking about based on the clues in the poems. After that we showed off our abilities to make riddles with our second grade friends. Here is what we came up with!

Long Ago Day

In Social Studies we have been learning about what it was like long ago. So on Friday, we had Long Ago Day at school!  Several students came to school dressed in their long ago day outfits as we spent the day pretending that we are children who lived, worked, and played long ago in America.

In the morning our second grade CAT (Cross Age Tutoring) friends came in and helped us make collars, hats, and complete a then and now worksheet. Then during small groups we made corn bread and wrote about long ago. Then later in the day we did work on writing using chalkboards!

Toward the end of the day we visited a website about what it was like long ago and discussed similarities and differences from long ago and today! Watch our Smilebox to see some pictures and read more details about our Long Ago Day!
