Happy Halloween

Halloween is this Wednesday. Kindergarten should come to school in their costumes.  We will parade with the morning and afternoon class and we will celebrate with a party.  Please remember no weapons or any other inappropriate pieces for their costumes.  Masks are ok, however they usually don't wear them after the parade.  

Thank you parents  for all your work planning the parties.  The kids just love their parties.

Report cards will come home on Friday, please remember to sign the envelope and return it to school. 

Also please look closely at the Buzz this week, Kindergarten A.M. will not go to gym on Thursday they will participate in gym class at 8:10 on Tuesday along with Art class.  We will be attending Mass on Thursday for All Saints Day.  K-club will be joining us as well. 

I hope everyone has a safe a happy Halloween!

Science day in kindergarten

The year is off to a great start.  We have had two science days and were able to explore many different things.  First we explored chemical and physical change, and we made some gak. After visiting the pumpkin farm we studied pumpkins.  We weighed them, observed them, cut them open and looked inside.  Those children who were brave enough even touched the gunky insides of the pumpkins.  Oh what fun.  Thanks to our parents who took home the seeds and baked them for us we even got to taste part of the pumpkin.  Surprising enough several of the children who didn't think they would like the pumpkin seeds were asking for seconds and thirds.  So exciting.  I really like when they try something new.  The unknown can be so exciting.  I look forward to our next science day!.

fun in the corn pit

Monday we went to the pumpkin farm.  We lucked out the weather was beautiful.  The students really had a great time.  We  went on a hayride and saw pumpkins get launched into the pond.  There was also a corn pit the kids were able to play in.  I wish we had one in school.  Loads of fun.  We went on the big slides and saw the animals in the petting zoo! I think the pig races were the most fun of all. Daniel's pig one his race, YEAH!  but Mrs. Cherney's pig China Doll failed to make it to the finish line first.  Oh well there is always next year!  Thank you parents for joining us on our field trip!  Your children really enjoy when you are there.
