Boulan Buddies Visit!

Today our Boulan Buddies came for our usual Friday visit.  Our buddies are here for about 45 minutes.  During this time we did 3 centers.  We searched through magazines to find pictures of healthy and unhealthy foods to cut out and glue onto our chart.  We also played a addition and subtraction game with a mouth and "teeth." (marshmallows) :)  Lastly we were strengthened our fine motor skills by making math patterned bracelets/necklaces.  Our Boulan buddies helped us at each station with these different games and tasks.  Thanks buddies!!!!

March Family Project

Your child brought home a family homework project for the month of March.  Our school wide theme this year for reading month is, "Reading is Fun Under The Big Top."  We will be celebrating reading month through buddy activities, sharing favorite books, games, read ins and more.  We use this theme to decorate our halls and classrooms for conferences, open house and Kindergarten round up.  We are asking you to help your child pick their favorite book and illustrate the main characters on their "Carousel of Characters" paper that was sent home.  They can also tell us where the story took place and why they love this story.  We will share these with each other as they are sent back to school.  Remember you can help your child complete this project!  We look forward to hearing about books that your kiddos enjoy!  Please let us know if you have any questions about this project

Mrs. Cleland...Mystery Reader!

Today Mrs. Cleland surprised the kiddos by being a guest mystery reader!  They were so excited and surprised.  Mrs. Cleland read The Jolly Postman.  This book is fun to read because each page is a letter written from one fairy tale character to another.  For example, the bears write goldilocks to wish her a happy birthday.  Mrs. Cleland also brought in Michigan postcards for the kids to write their own letters on.  They will be coming home in their folders!  Thanks Mrs. Cleland for making learning so much fun!

Welcome to Our Blog

Welcome to our class blog.  I will use this blog to easily communicate some of the fun things that are happening in our Kindergarten classroom on a daily/weekly basis.  This will also be a great way to post pictures too!  I hope everyone enjoys this site.  Look for more information to come! I have included some pictures of the kids having fun in the snow today at recess.  They were so happy to come out.  We also celebrated our team touchdown with popsicles brought in by Mr. Summers.
