Scientists use all the senses when taking data. So far, this one is our favorite.

Letter Hunt

We are writing our own ABC books with the help of examples found around the room.
Sitting is hard work. Sometimes we just have to get up and move to do our best thinking.

Good-Bye Mr. Johnson

Kindergarten is about authentic writing. We bid farewell to the man that has kept our school safe and clean for the last six years. Ty Johnson has been promoted so we are happy, but he will be missed.
TEAMWORK at its finest.

An Observation of an Object from Nature

We are slowly learning each workstation in Kindergarten. Once a week each student will do an observation of an object from nature. We observed this bamboo plant together. Next week the children will observe an object of their choosing.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Our first visit to PE was great! We move, we learn and we work together.

We Love Our Libaray!

This week we visited the library for the first time. We will go every other Monday. Please help your child to remember to turn in their books every Monday in the Book Return box in the Kindergarten hallway. This way they can always take another piece of the library home with them.

Our First Scientific Experiment

When we have been respectful, responsible and ready to learn, we sometimes earn the right to get our class pet, Rocky Road Milkshake Kindergarten, out for further learning.
This time we asked what kind of food does Rocky the Guinea Pig like best?

Carrots wins!

Know Thyself

In kindergarten, and in life, our main job is to learn about ourselves so we can learn and live with others.

Mathematical Thinking in Kindergarten...Begins on Day One









Meeting Ms. Sterry

Every other Monday we will host Ms. Sterry, our school counselor, for meetings on friendship, leadership and learning together.
