Happy Thanksgiving!

This week we did a lot of turkey crafts and even enjoyed some turkey snacks. Thanks Mrs. Hester and Mrs. Miller for the yummy turkey treats!

Wishing all my students and their families a happy and restful Thanksgiving break. 

Shaving Cream "Party"

The AM class filled their marble jar and earned their reward for all the compliments they have received.  They enjoyed their reward of a shaving cream "party"! Our tables were cleaned, our room smelled fresh, and the students had fun!

Thanksgiving Centers

The whole Kindergarten grade level participated in centers in each other's classroom on Monday.  The students enjoyed the activities in the other classrooms as well as in the computer lab. Thank you to all the parents who helped make this day possible!

Edible Art

Mrs. Belote was our Mystery Reader in the PM class and she read a story about a special tree named Steve after the story the students made an edible fall tree with pretzels, frosting, and trix cereal.

Book Buddies

Our PM class has begun reading with Mrs. Hartin's second grade class on Friday afternoons.  Ask your child about their second grade book buddy.  The students in both grades love this activity!

Fall Centers

On Halloween all Kindergarten students rotated though 9 fall centers.  They made spider hats, weighed and measured pumpkins, drew pumpkins on the computer, learned the life cycle of a pumpkin, and found out which fruits and vegetables sink and which ones float.  A BIG THANK YOU to all the parents who donated their time to make this a fun and educational day for the students!

Science Lab

On Monday we had our first science lab.  We explored our five senses with many hands on experiments.    This was such an amazing opportunity for the students to solidify what they have been learning about the five senses.  A BIG THANK YOU to all the parents and grandparents who helped out with our science lab, we couldn't have done it without you!

Mystery Reader

We have enjoyed having many parents come and be our Mystery Readers on Tuesday. It is a thirty minute time where our Mystery Reader reads to the class and often does a craft with the class that corresponds with the book they have read. The AM time slot is from 8:20-8:50 and the PM slot is from 1:30-2:00. We are booked through the month of December but if you are interested in coming in in 2012 please email me to let me know.  nikki.lister@vbschools.com
