Science Center Field Trip

The children had a great time at The Science Center on Friday, May 2.  We started off in the planetarium where we watched a show called "The Little Star That Could".  It provided lots of information about stars and our solar system in an entertaining way.  Next we went to The Discovery Room.  The students were able to interact with a wide variety of hands-on displays.  The students really enjoyed our session and would have loved to stay in that room all day.  There were so many different activities to choose from.

Thanks to all of the parents who made this field trip a success!

Writer's Celebration

Today Mrs. Wagner's kindergarten students came to visit our classroom for a Writer's Celebration.  The students paired up and shared their non-fiction expert books with each other.  Ask your child to tell you what topics he/she learned about!

Papa Wright and Our Class

Our Last Day With Papa Wright

We had such a great week with Papa Wright! Today each child brought in an instrument that they had made at home. Papa Wright played and carefully evaluated each one.  Luckily each instrument earned Papa's approval and an enthusiastic "Right On!".  Today the children also made shakers during their time with Papa Wright.  They were given two cups to decorate.  Papa and I poured a little rice and beans into one cup and taped the two cups together.  The highlight of the day was the afternoon Kindergarten Conga Line throughout the school.  The students were hot and thirsty when they returned to the classroom!

Thursday With Papa Wright

Today Papa brought his portable drum set to school.  He showed the children some fancy playing- alternating between up to 4 drum sticks! Later in the presentation Papa kept the beat on the base drum, while allowing each child the chance to play the snare drum with one stick and hit the cymbals with the other stick. Papa showed some homemade instruments and reminded the kids to bring their homemade instrument for tomorrow's class.
