Officer Patti

Last week Office Patti made a visit to our classroom. She talked about safety in and out of the car. She reminded us how important it is to sit in a car/booster seat and parents should wear their seat belts too. She sang a few safety songs and did a cute little dance. Officer Marion also talked to us about stranger danger. They remembered all the information that Officer Mary had told them a couple of weeks ago. Very impressive.

March madness!!!

Kindergarten has been a busy place this month. We went to a play "Peter Pan" , it was too cute. Abc soup company really does a great job and our students really had a great time. We also celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday, a Leprechaun visited or class and left some goodies (sorry I didn't bring my camera that day?) We read so many great St. Patrick's day books and did the kids look cute in their leprechaun hats or what? Science day was a hit, gas always amuses 5 and 6 year olds. It is amazing what a little baking soda and vinegar can do.
We made some changes in our class this past week, Our smart board is here and we moved a bulletin board to make room for it. It's not too pretty now, but once the Smart board is installed it is going to be beautiful!!!! I can't tell you how excited I am about it. So many opportunities await our class.
Remember to keep sending in your eye's (please cut them out before you send them in) and remember to put your child's name on it. I am looking more for Christ like behavior then chores, however I do realize sometimes doing chores does reflect Christ like behavior if they are done willingly and without argument. I am enjoying reading the comments you write about how you see Jesus in your child.
Have a blessed week

Science day Physical and chemical change

Kindergarten investigated chemical change and physical change this week in science. We made ice cream, volcano's, floated the m's off M&M's and blew balloons up. It was very exciting. I think hey liked the ice cream most of all. (who doesn't like ice cream?) I can't thank you parents enough for all your help this year for hands on Science day! The students really love having their parents share in the fun. Many of you have asked for the ice cream recipe, I will get it to you this week.

Peter Pan

Don't forget Monday (March 7) we are going to see Peter Pan at Lewis University. The students should come in uniform and if they are staying all day they will need a lunch and a drink. If you pre-ordered a special lunch then their lunch is taken care of. We will each when we return from the play. I am looking forward to it, they always put on a really cute show! See you tomorrow.

Dr. Bronke

This week Dr. Bronke (Mrs. Wind) came to our class to talk about dental health. She brought us so many great things to take home. (masks, gloves,dental mirrors and tooth brushes) She also talked to us about our teeth and why it is important to brush them at least 2 times a day for 2 minutes and floss at least 1 time a day. She brought her extra set of teeth that we all got to practice brushing on. Thank you Dr. Bronke for all the information on dental health.

The Cat in the Hat

This week we celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday. We made some really cool hats and read so many fun books as well as watched a few crazy Seuss movies. Ask them about the Lorax. We read the story and watched the movie and compared the similarities and differences between the two. They are so smart, they picked up on so many little things, that I didn't notice at first.
