Star of the Week

Snowy Days!

Our kindergarten partners in Virginia heard about our snowstorm and wanted to see some pictures! Here are some pics of us getting ready to go outside, all bundled up, and a few of us playing in the snow.  :)

Snowy Day

Just a reminder that the district's policy is to go outside unless it is below zero.  Please be sure to send your children with appropriate snow gear, and practice putting it on and taking it off.  Thank you!

Thanks

Thanks to Kenna and her dad, Mr. Pfeifle, for bringing their dog Addy for show and tell today.  The kids loved meeting her!

Vision Screening

All students had their vision screened on Thursday.  If there are any concerns about your child's vision, you will receive a notice from the school nurse.

Snack

We are running low on snack.  Please watch the snack calendar and send in snack on your child's day.  If you can send in extra, we would love it.  Thanks!

Mixed Up Kindergartners Flip Book

After reading Eric Carle's The Mixed Up Chameleon, we talked about animals that we would like to be, and why.  Some of the kindergartners had great ideas like "I wish I was a tiger so no one could wake me up and I could sleep in all the time."  (Kingston)  After we discussed our ideas, we created our own "mixed up characters" at the site Build Your Wild Self.  We then published these characters into a FlipSnack book.  You can view that book here.  Ask your kindergartner to tell you about the animal parts he or she chose, and why.

Using the MacAir Lab

Today we were able to use our school's new MacAir lab to do some fun learning on the computers.  We used the Beartooth Learning Links Symbaloo to play learning games and learn basic computer usage.  We had fun!

Interactive Whiteboard Fun

We did some cool activities with our interactive whiteboard today, such as counting and writing the number of apple seeds, and graphing whether or not we like spiders.  Afterwards, we each recorded the data on our own tally sheets.

Bats vs. Birds

Today we read the story "Stellaluna" by Janell Cannon, and then compared the attributes of bats and birds.

Student of the Month

I choose our student of the month based on the following: a student who is a good listener, a good friend and who always tries his or her best.  Congratulations, Blayke!
