Our Summer is So Bright!

We found this great idea on the blog Third Grade Love.  We Tweeted what we are excited to do this summer, then wrote on the sunglasses and drew pictures of ourselves because our summers are so bright!  Here are some examples of the great work the kindergartners did today.

End of the Year Celebration ... We Walked the Red Carpet!

Thanks to those of you who were able to join us for our Walk the Red Carpet celebration this afternoon.  The kindergartners were amazing!  A HUGE, GINORMOUS thank you to Heather Greeno for making this event so special with her incredible talents, and to the parents who helped by bringing in delicious treats.  The photo gift and Target card are so special and generous - I am truly grateful.  This has been a spectacular year - I guess this is why I am moving on to a new position next fall.  This group of kindergartners cannot be topped.  I am going out with a bang!  :)

If anyone has photos they could share from this afternoon's celebration, I would really be appreciative.  I would love to put together a slideshow for our classroom blog.

Looking forward to a fantastic end of our week together!  Thanks again!  Mrs. Piltz

End of the Year Celebration

A reminder that our end of the year celebration will be held on Tuesday, June 2nd in our classroom.  The students will be singing a song, reading their "Me I Want to Be" poems, and receiving end of the year awards.  We encourage your child to dress in his/her best for this fun afternoon.  We hope you can join us!

Kindergarten Favorites

We have been collaborating with Mrs. Bishop's kindergarten at Broadwater Elementary to make a book of the important things about kindergarten, or our #kindergartenfaves.  The kids Tweeted and Skyped their ideas, then wrote and drew their favorites.  We then put the writing into the Book Creator app, where we will be able to combine all of their ideas into one big eBook.  I loved Brenna's favorite ... Project Lead the Way!  :)  Yay, Brenna!

Student of the Month :)

New App

Yesterday we introduced a new app called Teach Me: Math Facts.  This provides practice leading to fluency in math facts for addition and subtraction (also multiplication and division if you have older kids).  They have really been enjoying this app!  It is $1.99.

ZooMontana

We had a wonderful visit to ZooMontana, even on a cold, rainy day.  Thanks to the parents who joined us!

Mother's Day projects

A huge thank you to Ms. Heather for helping the kids with these adorable Mother's Day projects.

End of Year Celebration

On Tuesday, June 2nd, we will have a special End of Kindergarten Celebration in our classroom at noon.  Ms. Heather is helping us decorate and prepare for this event, so it should be really special.  The kids will be singing a song and reading a poem they will write about what they want to be when they grow up.  We will also hand out some special end of the year awards.  We hope you can join us!

Tech Fun in our Class!
