I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing long holiday weekend. I am excited to hear the many stories that the kids will tell me tomorrow. I wanted to take a moment and post several pictures from our classroom last week. Remember, all pictures may be made larger by clicking on them individually.
On Monday we had a visit from "Dr. Pepper, " a local pharmacist. She talked to us about her job at the pharmacy and how she helps give us medicine when we are sick.
She also talked with us about medicine safety--and before we play with, or eat anything that we are unsure about to STOP and ASK an adult.
On Tuesday, two students from the high school came to visit our room and do a fun activity with us. As part of their child development class, these students asked if they could do a fun activity that focused on letters, drawing and writing. Our class was a very willing set of "guinea pigs" and gladly agreed to practice writing their letters, names and numbers in shaving cream. I think this was definitely the highlight of the week for them--minus the intense cleaning part:-)
On Wednesday, we played bingo with our fourth grade buddies in Mrs. Held's class. Our buddies were so helpful to us. We worked really hard on number and letter recognition with them. It is always fun to visit the big kids in their classroom.
We also had fun sharing what we are thankful for while cutting and coloring November turkeys. It was fun to see friends work together to help each other finish.
On Wednesday afternoon, the entire kindergarten came together for a Thanksgiving feast. We enjoyed plates of fruit and popcorn with our families and good friends. We laughed, shared and realized just how much we have to be thankful for.
Look for show and tell bags to come home EARLY this week (Monday) with a different show and tell assignment. Those students who are working on extension packets should turn them in by December 6. Any students who turn in completed, neat packets will eat lunch with me in the classroom. November reading charts are due tomorrow! Stay tuned for another exciting week in kindergarten.
