April Hallway Display

We have been working hard on painting flowers for our hallway display. Mrs. Greene is the creative one in our classroom and she thought up all the ideas for this Spring scene that included flowers, a caterpillar, and grass. The students did such a great job working on this project together and I am so proud of them! If you come to JBD- make sure you check it out in!

Exploring Our Spring Tree

Spring is Here! Things are growing and changing in our class. We took our science notebooks outside to document what our tree looks like in Spring and how it is different from the winter tree, fall tree, and summer tree.

We are Thankful!

This great lesson was created in the computer program kidspiration:)

What is a Scientist?

Today we extended our "what is a scientist" lesson with Mrs. Law. We looked at a leaf magnified under the smart camera. We also explored leaves with our five senses.

Guess Who? Kindergarten Self-Portraits

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

Today I received some beautiful flowers from my students- thank you so much! Below are some pictures our class created of all the teachers who help our class each day- Mr. K (P.E.), Mrs. Gordon (music), Ms. Booth (guidance), Mrs. Hardesty (librarian), Mrs. Law (gifted), Mrs Carroll (computer), and of course Mrs. Gabriel and Mrs. Greene (our assistants). 

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.

Winter and Spring

Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!

Practicing our Reading

First grade is right around the corner and we've been practicing reading independently.  The classroom is quiet and happy as everyone reads with just a murmur of voices and the occasional giggle.  Even Mrs. Rose has had time to read a few pages of some of her favorite children's books.  Please continue to encourage your child to read quietly to themselves or you each day.
