Spring Mental Images

While it doesn't quite feel like spring outside, we still are reading, writing, and drawing about spring in kindergarten. After reading many books about spring, we used the Drawing Pad app to create these mental images of spring.

Everybody Likes to Read!

Everyday in kindergarten we remind ourselves that strong readers read A LOT! We are fortunate to have so many wonderful adults in our life to listen to us....the blooming readers that we are! Here are some favorite shots from Family Reading Night, I Love to Read month, and our visits to the Care Center. These experiences remind us that reading is important to people of all ages!

Experts Take 3

We have been lucky to have more experts share their thinking with us recently. We are learning a lot!

Our very own Bryn was an expert on Florida creatures! We were able to Skype Bryn while she was on vacation in Florida. Thanks, Bryn....and mom and dad too! 

Look! More Beach Buddy experts! Gavin and Weston shared their guitar talents with us. We were very impressed with their rhythm and music reading! 

On Tuesday we had very special guests all the way from Monitcello! Ron and Brendan (Mrs. Fee's family) were experts on Canada. We learned about Canadian money, animals, sports, attractions, and much more. Brendan was even on his spring break, but worked hard to share his expertise with us. Thanks Ron and Brendan. We loved it!

Also on Tuesday, Jack's mom, Shari, taught us all about bus safety. We learned cool fun facts about buses and loved the great yellow bus Silly Bands. Thanks, Shari. 

Experts (Take 2)

The Beach Buddies sure have some talented family and friends. Here are some pics from more experts that visited. 

 Marc is a physical therapist. He helped us learn about ways to be strong and healthy. 

Christie is a 911 dispatcher. We learned lots about how we can be safe and help others. 

Julia Cook is the author that visited our school a few weeks ago. She is definitely an expert author! She not only taught us about writing, but also about how to use our CARES values. 

Dinosaur Drawings

Have you explored your child's artwork on Artsonia? This site houses projects completed with Mrs. Pawelski in art class. You can even purchase products that show off your child's art. We ordered a coffee thermos with Graham's self-portrait and it turned out great! Below is a slideshow highlighting the dinosaur drawings you can find on Artsonia.

Penguin Experts

Wow, we sure are experts on penguins! Listen to all the facts we know. After recording, we realized some names were on the back....how well do you know your child's voice? :)

It Snowed a Heap...

We are loving the new, fresh snow to play in during recess. "It snowed a heap..." has become a favorite little tune in our classroom. Enjoy! :)
