Both of us would like to welcome you to our Kindergarten Blog Here you will find information about what is happening in our class and at Dowell. Be sure to check back regularly for updated information.
Monday is Family Fun Day and Bring your own Bubbles Day. The PTA will fill the playgrounds with Blow Up Jumpy rides, so be sure to wear socks! Also bring bubbles and bubble toys.
Tuesday is Western Day. Dress in your favorite cowboy and cowgirl clothes and hats.
Wednesday is Ice Cream Day. We will make sundaes and have cupcakes to celebrate those summer birthdays.
Thursday is Summer Fun/Game Day. Bring your own indoor or outdoor games to share. Teachers will provide pizza and we will eat on the front lawn.
Friday is Movie Day. DO NOT BRING ANYTHING TO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY - THE BUSES WILL NOT ALLOW BOOKBAGS. We will provide popcorn and juiceboxes for snack that day. Our class will watch a full length movie with our 5th grade reading buddies. The K-Team will also provide a pizza snack in the afternoon.
We had a wonderful day at the park and at Publix. We saw lots of wildlife...
and got to play on the awesome playground...
We also enjoyed our tour of Publix.
This last grading period we are learning how to write a story in paragraph form that tells simple directions. The mini-lesson you see here is "How to Dye an Easter Egg." We actually dyed the eggs together and broke the directions down into segments of first, next, then, and last. All props were removed and the children wrote their directions the very next day. We were very proud of their writing. Please stop by our room to see how well they did. Click on pictures to enlarge.
Wow is all we can say! We had over 550 eggs for our Easter Egg Hunt. As you can tell from the amount of eggs that went home, it was a huge success. We could not have done it without your help. Here are a few pictures of the hunt.
We had a great time reading several different versions of the classic book "The Little Red Hen." We did some comparing and contrasting of the different versions and reviewed sequencing, as well. Then we chose our favorite version and did a dramatic play. The children were the actors and actresses. Afterwards Mrs. Barnes helped the children mix up the batter and bake a loaf of real bread. Yum was it good warm with butter. Check out the pictures of our day. Click on pictures to enlarge.
Technology night will be on Tuesday, March 31 with our last PTA meeting of the year. Mark your calendars and be looking for a flyer soon with all the details.
Here is a link to a cute website that your child can use to review coins. When they answer a question correctly, they begin to build parts that eventually make a robot.
On Tuesday, March 17 we will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Please have your child wear green. Last year a leprechaun visited our room. We will be building a trap this year to try and catch the little guy. Who knows, maybe we will get lucky this year!
