We had a wonderful Watermelon Day today in kindergarten! We started the morning by painting a paper plate to resemble a watermelon.
We had a watermelon taste test. We tasted real watermelon, watermelon candy, watermelon cookies, and watermelon juice! Yum! We made a list of our favorite items from the taste test.
We also did some science with "Walter the Watermelon." We made estimates for Walter's circumference and the number of seeds that were inside. After measuring Walter with a tape measure, we cut him open and counted all the seeds!
A glyph is a picture that gives information. We made a watermelon glyph. The key for what each part of the watermelon represents is on the back.
This afternoon we took our painted watermelons and added seeds to illustrate a number sentence!
We even watched a story about a town of people that were afraid of watermelon!!!
What a great day! Tomorrow is Ice Cream Day!! I can't wait!
Love,
Mrs. Huettl
