Birds!


We have been studying birds in literacy and science, but nothing is as exciting as seeing a real one on the way to recess!

Hats (or Crowns) on Day



Our school participated in "Hats On Day", a fundraiser for children with cancer. Students donated one dollar for the chance to wear a hat to school, showing sympathy for children who lose their hair due to chemotherapy.

We are learning about figurative language in poems --here Jaylene shows you how the poem compared a roadrunner to a car , "cause it runs speed".

Learning about Birds

Keverlyn loves birds.

We are making bird's nests to celebrate spring.
In science we are learning about the habitats of birds, and in literacy we are reading and writing poems about our favorite birds.

Jaylene and Jerome explain why they are making cards.

This is Penni's card.

Happy Mother's Day


There's nothing Kindergarteners love more than Mommy, so we were very happy to make cards for Mother's Day.

YOGA!


Yoga reduces stress, focuses the mind, and teaches perseverance --you try holding this pose for a minute or two!
It also helps us learn to follow directions, and is a lot of fun!
