Happy Veteran's Day!

 

Tomorrow is the Veteran's Day Program in our school gym.  This year the students will watch it from their classroom due to COVID-19.  We want to keep our veterans safe.  Some groups of kids will go in to perform, but leave when they are finished.  The kindergartners made these cute birds out of paper plates.  They learned about veterans, Veteran's Day an they learned about symmetry while trying to make the wings the same.  We listened to patriotic music and sang along.

The Halloween Party

 

Here is a glimpse of the kindergarten Halloween party.  I think they had a great time!  The first activity went like this...I played Halloween music and they danced.  When the music stopped, they froze 

and then showed their scariest face.  So cute!

During this game the kids at one end of the room say to the "Ghost" at the other end of the room, "Mr. Ghost, Mr. Ghost!  What time is it?"  When the ghost says, "5 o'clock", the others take five steps closer.  When they get too close the ghost says, "Its time to eat you up!  Then he turns around and chases them trying to catch one.  They loved this game!

Then it was time to try to go bowling with a pumpkin!  So silly!

Next up, was the bean bag toss.  

I was surprised at how well they did!

Then it was time for party food!  After that, we

watched a Cat in the Hat Halloween show to wind 

down and rest before we headed home.

It was a great time!  A big thank you to the 

Halloween party committee for all of 

the nice things you sent!

Carving the Pumpkin

 

Someone didn't even want to be near the pumpkin 

because he didn't like the way it feels.

Water Travels Through Stems

For one of our science experiments, I used celery and colored water to teach students how stems bring water up to the leaves.  The leaves make food for the plant.  They thought it was interesting to see the food coloring in the leaves.  You may want to try this at home too.

 

Fruit or Veggie Every Day

Did you know that each afternoon the cooks bring down a healthy snack for the kids?  It is either a fruit or a vegetable.  The idea is to have a chance to try a new food and for the kids to have a healthy snack! It works!  Quite often students will try something and like it.  

We really have such a great school!
