The Very Hungry Caterpillar


On Thursday, Mrs. Law read The Very Hungry Caterpillar to the class and we brainstormed different things that someone could eat and what they would turn into.  Later we watched the story Gregory the Terrible Eater and Little Pea.  Both books tell funny stories about odd things to eat.  Today in the computer lab we created a sequence project that showed off our creative thinking by imagining someone eating a variety of things and what they could turn into.  Below are some examples of what we did in computer lab.

Our Virtual Field Trip

Meeting the Class of 2023

Today was kindergarten registration for next year and the kindergarten teachers were thrilled to meet all the rising kindergarteners.  The best part of the day was watching the kiddos on their first bus ride.  If you have additional questions about registering your child for kindergarten, please click here at http://www.vbschools.com/.

JBD's Mentoring Program

We are so lucky at JBD to have a new mentor program called C.A.M.P which was organized by Mr. White, a fifth grade teacher at our school.  Officer Webb has spent time in our class reading and painting these past two weeks and giving some extra attention to our kindergarteners.
