Oobleck!

We are celebrating Dr.Seuss' birthday by reading some of his best books! Yesterday we read the story of Bartholomew and the Oobbleck. This was a great story about a king who wanted new things to fall from the sky. With the help of his Royal Magicians, Oobleck fell down all over the Kingdom of Didd! Today we made our own Oobleck with Mrs. McCullen. Mrs. McCullen also read to us as our Guest Reader, a favorite of hers, The Cat Came Back. Check out these great pictures of our Oobleck! A HUGE thank you to Mrs. McCullen for leading this activity and providing each child with their own Oobleck to take home. WARNING!!!! YOUR CHILD"S OOBLECK IS INSIDE A GLADWARE CONTAINER ON TH E BOTTOM OF HIS?HER BACKPACK!

Ask me about the Y's guys! One Y is a bandit and steals the long e sound. We can find the bandit at the end of two syllable words. The one wearing glasses is in disguise. He pretends to be the long i sound in one syllable words. And regular Y he starts a word and make the y-y-y- sound like in our Phonics Dance.

Chinese New Year, Birthdays and Snow!

We have officially begun our Winter and Snow unit! This week we rotated through the K classrooms to do a variety of activities related to snow. We learned about Winter around the world with Mrs. Hoch, did some snow poetry with Mrs. Terwin, made paper snowflakes with Mrs. Paulson and made symmetrical pipe cleaner snowflakes with Mrs. Robeano. We also read a great story called Snowman at Night. We then began our own class version with paint, q-tips, cotton balls and so many creative ideas! Some KD Dragonflies created a scene with snowmen at night having a tea party, others were snowboarding and skiing! I can't wait to see how this class book turns out!

Happy Birthday, Thomas!

Today we celebrated Thomas' birthday with baseball and strawberry shortcake. Thank you for sharing with us! It was a sweet way to end our week.

It's the 100th Day

Today was a great day! We found 100 hiding pigs, made glasses, crowns and fruit loop necklaces. We built Solo cup towers with 100 cups and marshmallows structures made with 100 toothpicks and 100 marshmallows! We wrote about what we think we would do when we were 100 years old. It was fun too see what we might look like at this age thanks to a free app called Oldster. Thank you to all who volunteered today! The extra help made the day a breeze!!!
