A Kindergarten Feast of Thanksgiving













Stone Soup?

Every child brought a vegetable (Or a fruit pretending to be a vegetable) for our annual Stone Soup Feast.

A big thank you to all that help chop, spice and cook our deliciously crunchy meal!

The Test's the Thing

Our Kindergarteners endured many an assessment in preparations for conferences. Though they have been tested many times with the teacher alone, this was different. A whole class, quiet, working, thinking and learning to share their thinking on their own. Its a beautiful thing!

Sharing our Personal Best

Everyday we write! We write a lot. Everyday we share our writing. And everyday we decide what is included in our personal best writing. Stop by before or after school to see our Personal Best Writing wall of fame!
