First Three Days

We are off to a great start in Kindergarten!

We made a list of how we should come to the carpet.

Students are getting used to their tables and are meeting new friends.

We are learning about centers. These students are learning how to play with the blocks.

Rest time is important each day, especially Fridays!

We read three different books about Chester the raccoon.

We made a puppet!

We made another fun Chester craft! What a great week! I am looking forward to a great year!

Welcome Class of 2010-2011!

I can not believe that school starts in less than two days! Summer has flown by but I am so excited for my classroom to be filled once again with my new kindergarten class. I have been working hard to get my room ready for the first day of school. Soon pictures will be posted of this upcoming group of students!

What a fun filled afternoon! They were so cute and seemed to really enjoy their time making it a special event. We also spent time writing words that started with qu. It was lots of fun!

We shared with parents some of what we have been learning during our reading workshop time. Then we sang a few songs for our parents. After our program we had a pizza picnic with parents! It was a great day!

Our literacy luncheon was so much fun! We invited parents to come and visit our classroom and learn a little bit more about what we do all day as well as celebrate our accomplishments this year! Students were split into groups and each student took time to read their All About Me books that they had written during writing time.

Popcorn Party

We have all read our popcorn words and so what better way to celebrate than with a popcorn and pop party! Heather is enjoying her popcorn while watching the movie A Bug's Life

Hayden and Lauren head to their sits to sip their caffeine free pop! Miss Workman made sure to get just the right kind of pop!

Nikki is so happy that everyone read their popcorn words! Great job Kindergarten!

Yeah Cheyenne!

Cheyenne read all of her popcorn words! Great job!

OARDC

Hailey is ready to get on the bus and head to the OARDC!

Clayton and Michael are so excited!

We had to wear protective foot wear as we went into the barns!

The kids are all lined up to get a look at the turkeys in the turkey barn!

Again the kids did great at lining up to look at the cows!

We loved petting the baby cows and letting them suck on our fingers!

The bugs were really cool too!

Lunch break

Mr. Michel took us on a very cool hike through the woods and showed us some very tall trees!

Lee and Quon enjoyed picking dandelions and trying to figure out how the OARDC will make rubber out of them!
