Readers Theater - The Three Little Pigs

We have been practicing our "scripts" for four different folktales.  Today we visited Mrs. Surprise's 3rd Grade class to retell the story of The Three Little Pigs.

A very silly day in Kindergarten this afternoon

When we returned to our classroom after Library today, we got a big surprise.  Our classroom was turned upside down.  The children had lots of different ideas of what may have happened.  Ask your child about our silly afternoon.  Click on the link below for our video.

Kindergarten Surprise

The children found special good luck clover coins and put our room back together so well.

We had lots of fun!

Crazy Sock Day

Kindness Jar

Our Kindness Jar is almost filled to the top so we will be having our first "Warm Fuzzy" class party next Friday, March 17th.  The children decided on a whole class "Show & Tell".  Please send your child to school with a favorite something from home that they would like to share with their friends.

Some of the wonderful Acts of Kindness:

helping a classmate 

letting a classmate play with them if asked

letting a classmate sit with them at lunch if asked

using kind words with classmates

checking on a classmate that hurt themselves

going over to the buddy bench to let someone play with them

and so much more

Some students are doing a version of our warm fuzzy Jar at home.  The children are highly motivated to get a "Warm Fuzzy".

Have A Wonderful Weekend!!

Wacky Wednesday

Science - Sink & Float

The children made boats out of tin foil and tested them out.  They added plastic bear counters to see if it would still float.

We made predictions about whether some items would float or sink in water on a recording sheet with pencil and then re-recorded in marker after adding items to the water.

We explored a variety of items to see if they would sink or float.  Many were able to add items to another that would still float.

We tried to make clay boats that would float, but all of them sunk because they were too heavy.

Ask your children about our sink and float experiments.

Lots of fun!

Dr. Seuss Day

Chief  Haglund was our guest reader today.  He read the Foot Book by Dr. Seuss.  Chief also answered many of the children's questions about being a Police Chief.  We have 4 students in our class that have a Dad who is a police officer. 

We made a pledge to be a Junior Police Officer.

 Thank you so much for being our guest reader today Chief and thank you for all the wonderful gifts you brought for our class.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!
