Happy Thanksgiving

A very happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I hope you enjoy these turkey centerpieces that we created this morning.

The 50'th Day of School

Boy was it busy today in Kindergarten. I want to tell you all about it...

First, this crazy lady dressed like someone from 1950 greeted us at the front door. Some of the kids were not too sure just where Mrs. Hewitt was.

Then, we looked at pictures from 1950 and today and got to listen to a REAL record player. You know those cds that are big and black.

We worked on some 50'th day activities then after lunch we went to the gym for a Sock Hop.

We played with Hula hoops, hopscotched, and also jump roped. After, we did a few old dances then headed back to the classrooms.

Back in the room, we made predictions as to whether or not ice cream would sink or float in soda. Then, we got to taste a popular drink from 1950- the Root Beer Float. 17 children liked them and 5 children did not like them.

Last before we went home was our bubble blowing contest. Only 3 children actually could blow bubbles.

We all took home records that we decorated as souvenirs of the day!

Veteran's Day

We had a school wide assembly to honor Veteran's Day. Mr. Rigol came to speak to us as a veteran himself. He challenged the kids to draw American Flags and return them to school on Monday. Mr. Rigol has been to Iraq 3 times!

We also read our Let's Find Out which was about Veteran's Day. The kids took these home today.

My Angry Bird Costume

I had a few people ask me to see it...so I am putting it up here in case people wanted to check it out.

Pete The Cat

I had to do a separate post about our latest bulletin board. Pete the Cat is still our favorite book to sing/read. We created our own Pete the Cat with colored shoes from SCRATCH! That means no stencils. They really came out awesome and each child chose their color shoes and built the sentence- I love my ____ shoes.

It's the Weekend

I finally have a chance to sit down and think about how fast this year is going by. It's hard to believe that we are almost to day 50. That's almost 1/3 of the year gone. Here are some of the bulletin boards the kids have worked on... I don't think I had a chance to post pictures of them.

This was our "Great Pumpkin" pumpkin patch. The kids did a great job creating their own Jack-O-Lanterns

This was our owl glyph. A glyph helps us with data and we build our glyph by answering questions. We will be analyzing the data from upcoming glyphs to learn more about each other.
