Random Photos

While I had my camera with me for Kindergarten Recognition pictures, I took some photos for the year book.

Kindergarten - Sixth Grade Recognition

Kindergarten Sixth Grade Recognition will be held next Tuesday May 11th, at West Elk High School. I can't believe it is May already. If you look back at their First Day of Kindergarten pictures you will see that they have changed so much. They are definetly growing and loosing teeth. I truely have enjoyed this bunch of kiddos! I am looking forward to seeing their friends and family the night of the recognition.

Life according to a Kindergartener

I love the age of Kindergarteners, they make me smile and laugh each day. In February we discussed Presidents Day, and our First President "George Washington". We read a book together, discussed the first president, and then I asked review questions. "Who remembers the name of our first president?" **** replies "George Staight"!!!! She was very exuberant and so proud she knew the answer, I couldn't help but giggle.



Same student today replied to an answer.

Today we are reading and discussing mammals. We talked about how all mammals grow, change, and then eventually die. Of course they started talking about dieing, so I chimed in and said that a lot of the time people just die of old age. **** replied "Like when your 19?"



Honey, if your old when your 19 then I'm ancient!!! LOL



They are always saying the funniest things, I just love these kids!

Grants

Exciting news in Kindergarten. I have applied for a few grants this year, and been awarded two different grants. The first grant is a "Literacy Rug" to use for skip around spelling, counting, and to use during circle time. The second grant is an "Art activity table". I am wanting to incorporate an art center into our daily activities. It is so exciting. The next grant I am applying for is to have a technology center. I am creating a project for small netbooks, so that the kids can take them back to their seats and discover reading and math on the websites we use during our class mimio board time.

Homecoming

Hannah and Kaiden were selected to be the Kindergarten attendants for homecoming. It is this Friday night. Come out and enjoy the presence of our school community and some good ole' basketball. I believe there is a soup supper that night also.
