October Field Trip

First Field Trip

September:

Our First Field Trip of the year was to see "Frog and Toad" at the Magik Theater. The students had so much fun watching the play that went along with the books they had listened to, and it was exciting getting to meet the actors after the performance. We also enjoyed a nice picnic lunch outside and time spent on the big playground.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year...and welcome back to school!

I can hardly believe our little ones are half way through their Kindergarten year!  What an accomplishment! 

January holds many fun activities including the children's first science fair, which we will do as a class project.  We will be celebrating the new year this week and celebrating 100 days of school very soon as well.  Our days will be full of learning about the thermometer and a review of God's seasons.  Our math skills will increase as we count backwards, by twos and continue our skills with money and addition.  Science includes color, light, temperature, magnets, solids, liquids and gases and hibernation.  I can't wait for our hibernation day!

It's always amazing how much progress the kids make in reading and writing skills during the second half of the year.  Watch for the sight word collections to come home soon.  Speaking of homework, I will begin sending one homework project a week home.  It will come home on Monday, and be due the following Monday.  This is in addition to the reading practice.  This allows plenty of time to work on it, keeping homework light and fun.  Attitudes about school and learning are our biggest goal at this time in life!

Thanks to all you parents and grandparents for the great support you give our class!  We couldn't do it without you!

Happy 2011!

Can It Really Be December?

Where has this year gone?!!!  I guess it is a sign of a full and blessed life, that I can't seem to find the time to post on this new blog!  I do have so many things on my heart and that pop into my mind I would like to share with you, and hopefully, with the holidays, I will be able to slow down and do just that!  Until then, two of our sweet room moms, Jaime Bailey and Jill O'Bryant have offered to help me get launched with pictures they've taken of some of our field trips/events.  If you have school pictures that you'd like to share with all the families, let us know, and we'll share yours as well.

Our Kindergarteners are a very sweet group of little children, and they've been a joy to take on field trips.   Tuesday's trip to see the Joe Scruggs Christmas concert was a real treat!  Enjoy the pictures!
