Worms!!!

As part of our Living Things Unit, the children learned about and handled live worms. It was fun seeing their reactions. Some even allowed the worms to crawl on their arms!

Guest Reader from Briarwood

Miss Catherine, a resident at Briarwood, came over to our classroom to be a guest reader on Monday morning. She and the children were having so much fun with her rendition of Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom that I had to pull out my video camera. Please note that I didn't start taping until about half way through the story.

Fair Field Trip

I'm sorry it took so long to post some of the photos from our field trip to the Fair. We went camping this weekend and I don't have internet access at the campgrounds. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as we enjoyed the trip.

First Week of Kindergarten - Math Explorations

To continue practicing how to rotate and behave during center times, along with becoming comfortable with some of the math manipulatives we'll be using this year, we enjoyed Math Explorations on Friday. These were short centers where the children were able to just play with the materials.
