Zoo Field Trip

If you have not returned your field trip permission slip and money, please do so ASAP.  Cost for students is $6.  (This includes admission, an animal encounter and a treat.)

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help chaperone our zoo field trip on May 16th.  Cost for chaperones is $2.50.  If you can send it in beforehand, that would be great.  We will pay all together to receive the group rate.  We will leave the school at 9:30 am, or you can meet us at the zoo at 10:00.  Thank you!

Pigeons!

Thanks to the First Grader ... at Last! blog for this cute idea.  Kids had fun making their own pigeons yesterday!  We also graphed who would let the pigeon drive the bus.

Sidewalk Chalk

The weather is getting nicer, and we love going outside and using sidewalk chalk to practice writing and math problems.  If you can donate any chalk to our classroom, it would be appreciated.  Thank you!

Spring Pictures

Spring photos were sent home today.  If you would like to order them, please return your payment.  If you would not like to order any, just return the photos.  If you ordered class photos, you will be receiving them separately.  Thank you!

Equations

Today during math we practiced writing addition and subtraction equations outside using sidewalk chalk.  We then used a dice roll app on our apps to roll two dice and write addition or subtraction equations for the dice we rolled.  The kids did great!

Describing Words About Mo Willem's Pigeon

Which Kind of Hot Dog Do You Like?

After reading The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog by Mo Willems, we used our interactive whiteboard to graph which kinds of hot dogs we like best. Our class likes plain hot dogs best.  We got this idea from this blog.

Kidblog

Today we added our pigeon drawings to our blogs and tried to persuade the bus driver to let the pigeon drive the bus.  Log in to our Kidblog to read what they wrote!  We are trying to learn how to respond to comments ... so make a comment, if you'd like!

Hatching Baby Chicks

Our kindergarten buddy class in Virginia hatched these baby chicks!  They have a live webcam feed set up for the kids to see the chicks.  So cute!  Click here to see the webcam feed.
