Beach Day

Fun doesn't even begin to describe the kind of day we had!!!  We were busy ALL day and had a wonderful time together on our "Beach Day!"

We painted seashells, made bongo drums, listened to beach music, made beach cupcakes, ate starfish and seahorse cookies, made oceans in a bottle, and enjoyed having fun together!  We are ready to go to the beach now!!!

These are the cupcakes we made!  The teddy bear on the cupcake was at the beach with his beach towel and beach umbrella!

Marvelous Monday

We had a Marvelous Monday!  Our day started with a visit from Mrs. Keith, the Media Specialist at our school.  She brought laptops to our classroom and we got to practice working on a laptop!  We did a fabulous job!

We got to have lunch in our classroom as one of our "end-of-the-year fun things!"  We thought this was a lot of fun!

In th afternoon, we had a parent and one of her colleagues visit us from MU.  They taught us some things about France and we even practiced some French words and counting in French!  We were great listeners!

At the end of the presentation about France, we got to eat a croissant with Nutella on it!  We learned this is something they eat in France...and we thought it was very delicious!!!

Field Day and End-of-the Year Celebration

We had a wonderful time at our field day and end-of-the-year celebration on May 20th!  

We loved the pizza we ate for lunch in our classroom after field day!

We had a wonderful audience for our End-of-the-Year Celebration!

Guest Reader

We had a guest reader come today!  The grandmother of one of our classmates came and read "Put Me in the Zoo."  We thought this was a fun story, and we enjoyed all of the pictures in the book!

Elephant Toothpaste/ Guest Readers

We were treated with a visit from a parent this morning!  She read us a book about an elephant, did an animal movement song with us, and then made "Elephant Toothpaste!"  This was a very cool experiment!  The ingredients in the "toothpaste" were: hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, warm water, food coloring, and yeast.  We LOVED this experiment!

Today we also had guest readers come from Hickman High School to read to us.  We made them feel welcomed in our classroom because they were pretty nervous about reading to kindergarteners!

A Busy Monday!

We had a busy, great day today!  Our morning started with a surprise visit from Clifford!  We enjoyed having him stop by our classroom!

After lunch, we had a visitor from MU come and do a force and motion lesson with us.  He brought a toy armadillo that rode on a skateboard!  We had fun figuring our ways to make Ron the Armadillo go faster and slower on a ramp!  We did some great thinking like engineers during this lesson!

To end our day, we had a parent come and do a presentation on China.  We had so much fun trying to use chopsticks to pick up pieces of candy!  We also loved eating the yummy noodles she prepared for us!  She gave us each a beautiful refrigerator magnet to take home and a paper "jack-in-the box" that was really neat!  We enjoyed learning about China!
