Pumpkin Patch

Just a reminder: Our trip to the Pumpkin Patch in Burns, KS is on Thursday. Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope the rain doesn't get the best of us. We are really looking forward to going! Please make sure your child has their entrance fee of $5 by Wednesday. Thanks

This was an enjoyable day! Here are my Kindergarteners.

Kindergarten Classroom

Welcome to Kindergarten!!!!!!!

Here are some random pictures of our classroom.

This is our class mascot. His name is Corky. I went to Emporia State University, home of Corky the Hornet. I think this guy will fit right in.

This board is where we will track the number of letters we know, how far we can write our numbers, and how far we can count.

This is our reading lounge.

This is where we will have story time, and where we will get our center activities.

Shapes!

These are some of the workbooks we will be working out of.

This is a BEE book. It is a communication folder that will go home and come back everyday.

This is a work area for students to work one on one with me.

This is a computer area.

Most importantly, our work area.
