Our Class Picture

We were asked to take a class picture for the yearbook this year. Not everyone is looking, not every was in attendance. But we tried our very best! When the timeline is about to expire, you take what you can get.

Focused Writers

I just had to post this! Every now and then, my students show such focus on their work. I am so proud of their effort!

100th Day of School Celebration

We made necklaces using yarn, fruity loop cereal, and cardstock tags to help us separate each group of ten. We also had on some cute 100th Day crowns.





After reading a cute story, The Wolf's Chicken Stew, students wrote a letter to Uncle Wolf requesting him to bring them 100 of something!
 

Enjoying our 100-piece class snack! 10 of each kind of snack item combined in our personal baggies equals a tasty 10x10 treat.
 

Who'd think I'd look so cute as a 100 year old woman? :)

Martin Luther King Jr. Unit Study

This week, we spent a lot of time focusing on the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the many  lessons he taught during his short lifetime. We concluded that our eyes see the colors on the outside, but our hearts and minds to "see" what's on the inside!
 
A great lesson involved using two different kinds of eggs - both were eggs, but with different shell colors. Students recorded what they saw on the outside and made a prediction about what the inside of each egg would look like.
 
 
 
 
We cracked them both open and look what we discovered -- both eggs were the same!!!!

Let's Go to Chuck E. Cheese, Please!

As part of our efforts to award academic success and good behavior, our Kindergarteners were taken to Chuck E. Cheese for plenty of play and pizza! You can see how much fun we all had.
