Tuesday!

Well almost everyone made it back today.  Yesterday we started off with 7 children absent.  It was empty in here!  Someone pointed out that there were only 4 girls in our class....scary thought!!!!! 

We are reading lots of poetry.  Some of our favorites today (along with our VERY favorite "Scranimals") are from our Bainbridge Island poets; "Chicken Scratches" and "In Aunt Giraffe's Green Garden".

Thank you for continuing to send in our contribution for the Hygiene Kits, toothpaste!  We will continue to collect until this Friday.  We are still accepting donations of change for the Red Cross and will keep that going until after Spring break.

We were pretty excited after our Science assembly so I am encouraging all of the kindergartners to enter the Science Fair.  A packet of information came home today.  Go here if you need more information or if yours did not come home for some reason.  This is a "homework" project for you to fit in - IF it works for your family!  You can find some more inspiration here!

We finished our "Three Billy Goat Gruff" settings today....



I am really impressed with all of the wonderful writing and reading that is going on around here!  It's the best part of being a kindergarten teacher!  And they are competent in so many areas.....including eating and getting silly......love 'em! 

(I am having trouble getting my video to load....I will work on it...)
