We had a great time at the farm today! We learned a lot from Mr. and Mrs Woosley! We got to walk through their house and took a tractor ride through their farm.....both of which have been around for 100 years!

We got to see many animals, one of which was a baby cow which Mr. Woosley fed while we all got a chance to pet her!

Thank you for all the wonderful gifts for Teacher Appreciation Week! I love them all!

Each child created a jigsaw picture frame for their family members this week! We hope you enjoy, they turned out beautifully!

Rainforest Reading

We have been reading all about the rain forest this week! We have worked on a class mural with each student contributing a drawing of their favorite rainforest animal. (ABOVE)
We have done writing as well as math with rainforest creatures.

We have been working on taking notes to remember what we read. What is something you have learned this week about the rainforest?

Planting Flowers

Spring is here! We have been learning about seeds, and what seeds need to grow. We have learned that there are many types of flowers. We planted marigolds this week and will water them every day and then measure them as they grow!

Students can take their flowers home once they bloom.

                                                 

Fairy Tales

We have been studying fairy tales in kindergarten for the last few weeks. We have noticed that common themes in fairy tales are:

1-talking animals
2- princes and princesses
3-bad vs. good
4-fairies
5-special powers
6-happy endings

We have had great fun acting out fairy tales as well as nursery rhymes, and have been writing to our favorite fairy tale characters each day.

What is your favorite fairy tale that we have read in class or you have read or seen at home?

Shaving Cream Review

We took some time to practice our numbers today....in shaving cream! The students loved this, and I was excited that they were practicing, and getting better at writing numbers 1-30. As I checked each student after I called out each number, I noticed some were writing certain numbers backwards. We will continue to work on numbers 1-30, and writing the numbers the correct way. Please make sure your student is writing their numbers correctly.

We will soon do this activity again, practicing writing popcorn words.....
