Our Forever Books

Earlier this month we enjoyed checking out each other's Forever Books. We read the books with our book buddies and later did some drawing and writing about what we THINK about when we read these books. We know strong readers THINK while reading.

Our Day in Kindergarten

Take a peek into our kindergarten routine with this video from Explore Kindergarten Night. Ask your kindergartner about his/her favorite part of the day.

Bubbles and Watermelon

Learning about watermelon and bubbles was a perfect way to start kindergarten! Poems, books, songs, shared writing, and outside play helped us explore in a fun, hands-on way.

Fun and Fitness 2017

"I think we won everything because we have so much energy!" --- a quote from one of the kindergartners as we walked back to school after Fun and Fitness. I think that might be right! :) We also work hard and have a lot of grit! Their competitive teacher may have done a little motivating as well! What a fun day.

Our Self-Portraits

These self-portraits really show the kindergartners' growth from September to May. We loved examining how our drawing and thinking has changed. We are ready for first grade!

Jungle Drawings

We are fortunate to have an awesome art teacher, Mrs. Pawelski, here at AES. Every time I pick up our class from art they have great things to tell me about their art projects. With the Como Zoo trip on Friday, I thought now would be a perfect time to share our jungle drawings. ** Have you checked out Artsonia.com ? Mrs. Pawelski adds student art and parents can purchase neat products with their child's art on them. We have a popular coffee thermos at our house! A paper about this was sent home from Mrs. Pawelski earlier in the year. Let me or Mrs. Pawelski know if you need more info.
