Writing Celebration

Last week we held our first of many "writing celebrations". We began by sitting in a circle and each of us shared one page from a special "star story". We chose a "star story" from our own folder full of books written in the past month. We fixed and fancied our "star stories" to make them the best they could be. After our circle share we had a toast of juice to celebrate the books written so far and the many more to come this kindergarten year. Cheers!

Fair Haven Farms

The great fall weather followed us to Fair Haven Farms last Friday. What a perfect day! We used our 5 senses to explore the many sights, sounds, and fruits of the farm. We didn't lose anyone in the corn maze and loved bringing home our own gourds. 

Our First Weeks Together

Our first weeks together were filled with bubbles, watermelon, new friendships, and learning the routines of kindergarten. Check out some of the highlights below.

Ground Breaking

Seeing dirt moving around the Bendix grounds is just about one of best sites we have seen all year. Two more years and our new elementary will be complete.  Tuesday morning we had a special "Ground Breaking Ceremony" and one of our own Beach Buddies, Morgan, was chosen to represent kindergarten. We couldn't be more proud! Great job, Morgan!

SMARTboard

We were so excited to have our SMARTboard up and running again! After almost 2 weeks without it, we were anxious to get our hands on it today.

Explore Kindergarten

Thanks to all of you who attended Explore Kindergarten Night last Tuesday. The kindergartners sure loved showing you around!  The slideshow shared that night can be found below.
