The district photographer came out to graduation and captured the CUTEST pictures of the K kids processing in, singing their songs, reading their poem, and getting their diploma.

One of my favorite things that we do is our end of the year movie - it really shows the kids' personalities, how much they've grown, and how much fun we've had in our time together. Click the graduation picture below to watch our kindergarten movie (andddd you may want to grab some tissues before you start, but I promise they'll be happy kinds of tears! =]). I hope you enjoy our memories as much as we enjoyed making them! =) Feel free to comment and leave any happy thoughts! =)
... is how long it took me to put together the CUTEST video in the world of our memories together from this year! (Okay... a big chunk of the 7 hours was me watching it over and over again =) =) I just can't help it!). Putting it all together and being reminded of all of the fun we had, the things we learned, and the amazing ways that we've grown absolutely awes me. I can't wait for you to see our movie on Thursday after graduation! I'll post the link to the video so you can share with family and friends after graduation on Thursday!
I'm sitting here grading report card assessments (while watching Beauty and the Beast!... I think I'm five years old at heart =]) and I had to take a break and let you know how AMAZING your little ones are! This is my favorite time of year not only for the incredibly fun things we get to do - field trip, field day, beach day, graduation, park day... it's all just so exciting! - but also because it's the time of year when I realize just how much the K kids have grown in our time together. Just think... when they came into K most of them wrote their name with big letters, drew stick people, thought 10 was a high number to count to, and had no idea what a silly thing like a sentence was. Now they can draw the most incredibly detailed pictures, write so many super sentences, and can count and write at least to 100 (a student currently holds the record for writing to 250!). The K kids amaze me on a daily basis with what they can do and I am so incredibly blessed to be a part of it. I can't wait for you to see their report card, Moms and Dads!! =)
I don't know if you can handle all of the fun that's heading our way in Room 123 =]! Looking at this week we have field day on Thursday (Moms and Dads feel free to come cheer us on! We'd love to have you!!), and looking at next week we have our field trip to the Salisbury Zoo on Thursday and our Author's Tea on Friday. And that's not even the learning part! We still have ocean animals to learn about, about me books to write, and graduation to practice! I can't wait!!
Moms and Dads-- if you haven't already sent back the graduation RSVPS, the field trip permission slip and money, and the field day lunch form, please do so ASAP! Since we don't have a video to show this week (we're working in our graduation songs for our poems this week and we don't want to spoil it for you!) I thought I'd let you sneak a peek at our ADORABLE field day shirts! How stinking cute are they?!? =) =) We had so much fun learning about ladybugs this week! We learned about the life cycle of a ladybug, painted and labeled the life cycle of a ladybug on a paper leaf, observed Ladybug Land (which was full of ladybug LARVA!) and drew and wrote about what we saw. We can't wait to see if we have any adult ladybugs when we get back to school on Monday! Check out our adorable ladybug poem from this week. Can you tell we've been practicing reading with expression? =) We wrote, wrote, wrote, wrote, wrote this week! We wrote the Me in April portion of our Me in Kindergarten book, and we used a poem to write a text-based writing piece ALL BY OURSELVES with absolutely no help from Miss Warriner! I was so impressed with the K kids' writing that I told them they earned a popcorn party on Friday complete with an appearance by Mrs. Brown to check out some of their wonderful writing pieces! So proud of my Rider Writers!! =) Enjoy this week's poetry performance - watch out for the SURPRISE halfway through!! =) Hi K Families! As if I didn't have a great enough day with my little ones I received an exciting package after school today... OUR IPAD MINI! I can't believe we are so fortunate to have such amazing donors... it feels like I just set up the project! Life is so full of smiles!!
The arrival of the iPad meant one thing... scratch the graduate school work for the night, time to mess with the iPad! I know so many of the K kids tell me things they do on their iPads at home. If you have any good educational apps that your little one loves, please let me know - I may download it and let them teach the rest of the class how to play it! I can't wait to see their reaction (and see how engaged and excited they are to learn!) when they realize the iPad is for our classroom... eeee!! =) =) This week was so much fun in K! We brought in our own creepy crawlies and sorted them, discussed the parts, and so much more! We even painted our own (make believe!) bugs!! My favorite part of this week, however, was learning the Parts of a Flower song. Check out how adorable (and highly entertaining =]) we are! We had so much fun this week in Science! We worked with a Science buddy to learn all about force and motion. We used K'nex pieces to build and learn about the forces of push and pull, and we even made a real INVENTION with our Science buddy. Miss W challenged us to make something that knocks down dominoes. She told us we could use any K'nex piece and a ball, but we couldn't knock the dominoes down ourselves. We really surprised her with what we came up with! Check out the Pictures section of our website to see some of our swings, ramps, tops, and inventions! =) (And the last picture absolutely melts me!! We have such great friends in our classroom!!!).
