Pigs!

Pigs! Who would have known we could learn so many interesting facts about this animal! Here are a few of our favorite fun facts.

"Big Ideas" from Nancy Carlson

Recently we did an author's study on Nancy Carlson. Nancy is a Minnesota author who writes about interesting animal characters like Loud Mouth George, Arnie, Henry, Harriet, and many more. Nancy's funny stories are not only entertaining, but also teach us a lesson. As we read Nancy's books, we focused on main idea and charted all the "big ideas" we gleaned from Nancy's books. Next we found Nancy's drawing lessons online and made our own illustrations just like Nancy. Using the iPad, we took pictures of our drawings and added our voice to share our favorite "big idea" from the books. Thank you, Nancy, for teaching us a great deal about writing, illustrating, and life!

Aloha from Hawaii

Our trip to Hawaii was hot, fun, and filled with adventure. We loved our plane ride that even had a pilot guiding us. Our snack on board and stations in Hawaii were a hit. Later we enjoyed visiting 2 other Hawaiian islands where we learned how to do the hula and surf. Some highlights from our kindergarten spring break are below.
