Block City and Moby Max in Kindergarten


Today Kindergarten....

 ...revisits the library to day to trade colored block cards from last week and build each other's pattern and then a city!

We are reading:

Block City by Robert Louisa Stevens
Read the Poem ...but we encourage you to buy the book!

Check out this blogger mom for a cool block mural idea!



If you do not have the book yet...the video below is a great replacement!



Also students will be visiting their Classroom Moby Max site 
set up by their rockstar teacher, Mrs. Jenkins!
