Our Egg Hunt

Egg Hunt

Dear Parents,

We are going to have a small egg hunt next week for our class and we are looking for donations of candy stuffed plastic eggs.  If you are able to donate, please send the plastic eggs in your child's backpack.
We appreciate the support!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Today was a fun day in our class- we had lots of different activities celebrating the day.  We also had a visitor during the night who left green footprints, a pot of gold, and a little bit of a mess.  Word traveled fast and everyone was visiting our room to see what a mess "Lucky" had made.

 (Spoiler Alert!) Thank you Mrs. Bridges for decorating our classroom!

Happy Valentine's Day

Second Grade Hearts

Many thanks to Mrs. Lister's second grade class for helping us to make rainbow hearts.  The second graders explained the project and helped each kindergarten individually to create the rainbow heart.  What a special treat for Valentine's Day!

Great Job Collecting 100 Cans of Food!

We did it!  We collected 106 cans to donate to celebrate the 100th day.  Many thanks to my husband and brother-in-law for coming to haul away the cans last Friday before the snowstorm.  That night the cans were delivered to the Food Bank of Virginia.  Thank you so much parents for all your support!

Snow Day Updates

Here are some updates on our schedule:

1. Science Lab is still on!  If you are a schedule volunteer- please come at the scheduled time.
2. Please use the same word sort from last week for this week's homework.
3. The "Little Gulls" preschool outreach program (first meeting was Tuesday night) has been postponed until further notice. 
4. I'm not sure when report cards will be issued.  I will update as soon as I find out.

Happy Snow Day!

This post is for all my loyal website visitors from all over the country (thank you for your continued support).  Something very unusual happened- it snowed!   In the past, school has been cancelled with the threat of snow and I think it even snowed about half an inch one year (I think).  However, this weekend we got about 4-6 inches!  This is so exciting for kindergarteners and for myself- we will finally be able to mark snow on our weather graph!  This is my fifth year teaching kindergarten and I always tell my kiddos to wear the pajamas inside out the night before it is suppose to snow and hopefully this supersitition will make it snow.  It has never worked and this past Friday was such a hectic day (it was a half day) that I forgot to remind the kiddos to wear their jammies inside out. Anyways stay tuned for all the exciting events we will be doing this week in relation with snow- writer's workshop, reading snow books, creating snow number stories:)

Letter to Santa

Today we wrote a letter to Santa telling him that his was "thumbody" special.

Holiday Centers!

Happy Holidays!

Christmas Lesson

Today we had our Christmas lesson and the kiddos had so much fun!  Thank you Mrs. P and Mrs. M for such a great lesson! 

Coming Soon! Polar Express!

Dear Parents,

On Tuesday, December 22nd, my class will be reading The Polar Express. To help celebrate this exciting story, I can wear my pajamas to school just like the children in the book! (Students must wear clothing under their pajamas and regular shoes). The entire class will board the pretend train in our pajamas with our most special belongings. Please allow me to bring a special belonging that I usually take to bed with me to share with the class.

Thank you for your support!
