Sharing.....

McCartney brought in a couple of feathers that she found at her house. 

Grady "This is my microscope. I looked at a grub with it and makos hair and my moms hair and my dad's hair. It's really special."

West- "These are my legos. I have a police one. A bad guy. "

Dahlia - "This is my doll. I got her for my birthday. She is really special."

Savi - Shared a great picture of her and her grandmother at the beach.

Fiona - Shared her special bracelets and rings that she got for her birthday.

Max -shared a very important card, that showed about ticks. How to be "tick smart". Thanks Max!

Free choice time....

Max_ This is a vicious dinosaur. They have to make sure that it doesn't escape or it will attack the gorilla. Gorilla is king. T-Rex can hit the bad guy and protect the gorilla.


Coding... 
Today we started to learn about coding. This is the last Science unit we will work on. It was really great to see how the kids picked up on it so quickly. Using certain movements to get to their destination. We did this today as practice on paper, but tomorrow we will do this on the computer.

Readers Theater...
We are getting ready to do our Readers Theater plays. A note went home today about what day your child will perform in front of the class. Performances will take place in the classroom at 8:00am Thursday and Friday.  We will also video record the performances for any who are unable to attend.

Special Guests....

We had some some second graders come in to share with us their tiger project. They are raising money to help save the tigers. They will be doing a bake sale and taking donations on Monday during lunch time. If you are so inclined to support this, please feel free to send in some money to help this cause. Thank you!

Science......Design/Build a cast
We have been speaking so much about bones, this piece is the last part of our Human Body:Structure and Function unit.  The idea is that the kids will be able to recognize medical professionals work and that they diagnose and treat disease or injury. The kids will design a cast. Share with friends how it worked or didn't and why. They will document their progress and compare with their friends. Their cast has to be strong, light, comfortable and water resistant. This is a big step by step process and they will do this over a couple days; designing and building.

Dr. Macky used all her resources and healed Earl with a great cast.

 West was hurting, until he found Dr. Azza. She fixed him right up.

 Assistant Beth, getting materials for the doctors.

Dr. Maddie, fixing up Ethan.

 Dr. Ryan, was very cautious attending to his "patient" Molly.

 Dr. Willis worked really hard to make Eva all better with his cast.

 Dr. Grady made a strong cast for Connie. She could barely get out of it!

Evan is all set. Feeling better already.

 Eli is feeling much better now that Dr. Mazie fixed his broken arm.

 Dahlia is questioning if this cast is going to do the job!

STEP UP DAY!!!!!!
All the Kindergarteners went to 1st grade where they meet with and hung out with Gina for a little while this morning. A few favorite things they did was "playing with legos," "drawing" and "EVERYTHING!" These guys are totally ready for 1st grade.








TRIP COMING UP TO ECHO, JUNE 14th....
If you haven't already sent in money ($11/kids, $13/Adults) please do so. You also need to send in a bagged lunch for your child that day as well. It's going to be a great cumulative day for us as Kindergarteners. 




FOUR WINDS...... Flowers

 Ellen and Kathleen showed us the different parts of a flower.

We dissected flowers and figured out their parts and where they belong, like a puzzle. 

 Dissecting flowers

 Putting the paper puzzle together to make a complete flower. 

 Tasting fruit and seeing the seeds in the fruit. (Apples, cucumbers, peppers)

Finding flowers outside and seeing the different stages. 

And, drawing a picture of a flower and identifying its many parts. 

Nice flower Willis!
