Pajama Day - Friday, February 5 - Wear your pajamas to school!

A class list for Valentines was sent home today.

Today Mr. Mussellman visited the K classes.  Mr. M told us scientists sort animals into two groups, vertebrates and invertebrates. We belong to the vertebrate group because we have a backbone.  He talked to us about the animals we will see at the aquarium.

Sea stars have five arms and the arms are covered with suction cups. To help us observe the strength of a suction cup, Mr. M. attached a suction cup to the floor and asked a kindergartner to pull the suction cup off the floor.

Check out the lobster claws!

A giant model of a fish showed us the parts of a fish; eyes, fins, scales, gills and tail.

We counted eight tentacles on an octopus.

Fish Day

Friday was Fish Day!  Center time was in all five kindergarten classrooms.  What a treat to visit the other classrooms!  An amazing aquarium was created with all the artwork.

December 23

Thank you to all who joined us for the kindergarten ballet!  The children worked very hard and were thrilled to dance on stage for family, friends and classmates.  What an accomplishment!

The children thoroughly enjoyed our field trip to The Nutcracker.  We were all anxious to see the battle, Mother Ginger, and Spanish Chocolate.

Bag of Treasures - Yesterday your child brought a bag of treasures.  The children loved the body tracing activity.  Painting and glittering their characters is always a big hit!

Last week we went to the gym for the "battle".

Have a great vacation!  See you on January 4, 2016
