Personal Penguin Party

We had our "Personal Penguin Party" on Thursday, February 24th, 2011. Below are some pictures from our classroom snacks. Hopefully some nice parent(s) can send me some pictures of the performance. :)

 Here is our lovely penguin buffet display.

 

 

 MacKenzie made a boy and girl penguin out of Oreos, candy corn, and candy buttons!

 Dylan and his brothers (with Mom's help) made these cute penguins!

Gabby shows off her beautiful Oreo penguin!

Measuring

 Here Zachary measures for the bed using a ruler.

 Dylan uses a standard unit of measurement.

We read the book How Big is a Foot? A king wanted to give his wife, the queen a birthday gift. It was a bed that measured 6 feet by 3 feet. However when the apprentice measured for the bed, he used his own feet which were much smaller than the king's feet. The queen could not fit in her bed. The apprentice realized he needed to use the king's feet to measure for the bed. This bed was perfect for the queen. The students understand that we need to use a standard way of measuring instead of using our own feet. We did this ruler/measuring activity and compared the "bed" we measured off to the bed we made out of paper feet.

Late Post from October Field Trip

Here are some pictures from our field trip in October to Huber's in Indiana. I'm sorry it's taken a while to upload them; I've had difficulty with technology recently (as I've stated in a previous post.) Enjoy! :)

 It's the "cousins" all visiting at Thanksgiving.

 The whole group at the end of our performance (practice).

Showing off our turkey hats on our performance night. (Notice Tanner H. in his pjs? :) He had to pretend to sleep with visions of turkey legs dancing in his head!)

Here are some "relatives" traveling by taxi, by plane, by train, and by car.

Welcome Kindergartners 2010-2011

Welcome back to school! It's one of my goals this year to keep this blog updated so parents can communicate and be able to check in on what's going on in our classroom. This year I decided to do a watermelon theme (I'm all into themes!) My bulletin board says "Welcome to Our Patch"...the background is so busy, but we didn't have much bulletin board paper at school from which to choose, so I lucked out and found this OK fabric I had stored in our supplies. Another teacher even gave me a cute watermelon tissue box to go along with our theme! :)
