Fun in the sun! 

They were excited to see all of their friends after the break. 










Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! 




Kindergarten learned all about the author Dr. Seuss and read many of his stories. They also developed wacky rhymes.





Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Kindergarten learned all about Saint Patrick, Ireland, rainbows and leprechauns. After reading a variety of nonfiction and fiction books, the girls created their own leprechaun traps in hopes of catching Lucky the Leprechaun. They worked in groups to develop their own traps and used their imagination and knowledge of leprechauns to determine what colors and items they would use to lure Lucky the Leprechaun into their trap. 


The girls collected all their materials and constructed their traps. Then the girls and painted and decorated their traps. They were all very excited to try and capture Lucky the Leprechaun.

Our finished traps! 









The girls all did a great job building their leprechaun traps and working in groups. 

When the girls returned from lunch they found a huge mess in the classroom and no Lucky the Leprechaun. They searched the classroom for Lucky in case he was hiding. All they found were footprints. 









"Look! Lucky's footprints!"


"I found gold!"







LUCKY CHARMS MATH!

The girls had a blast sorting, counting and graphing the marshmallows in the Lucky Charm cereal. 











Reading Time!

 100th Day of School

We celebrated 100 days of hard work. 



The girls had to find 100 items in their home that would fit inside their 100th day collection box. The next day, their classmates had to guess what they think might be inside their collection box. 
They had a blast trying to figure out what each girl collected in their box. 










Some of the items the girls collected included:
Hershey Kisses
Bobby Pins
Toys
Cheerios
Q-tips
Beads
Pennies



100th Day Math Activity
The class all received a bag filled with a variety of stickers and sorted them by shape and color. After sorting the stickers, they put them into groups of tens and counted by tens to 100. 










Happy Valentine's Day 

Heart Candy Math
The girls sorted heart candy by color. Then they counted each color and graphed how many of each color they had.  
















The girls exchanged Valentine's day cards with their 8th grade big sisters! 




Happy Lunar New Year

The girls learned all about Lunar New Year. They created a puppet dragon and learned a dragon dance as well as listened to an old Chinese legend called the Story of Nian. They also discovered that many people wear red and everything is decorated with the color red on Lunar New Year because it brings luck. 


We made dragons! 


The girls all received red envelopes with a sweet treat inside for good luck! 
The girls learned how to make lanterns. They decided to use the color red for good luck.
