Friday Already!

A great day....a bit warm at afternoon recess - we were ready for water.  Our class went to our first Specialist today which was library.  We learned the routines, listened to a story and got to read books from the kindergarten book bins.  My class won't be checking out books until they have had a couple of rotations in the library.

We had an assembly this morning to learn more about the Blakely 3 R's which are Reasonable, Responsible, Respectful.  The teachers did three skits to represent the themes and I was lucky enough to be in one of them!

The "exercises" we did yesterday with Ms. Hanley were from Brain Dance, which is a great way to wake up our brains to get ready to learn.  And it is fun.  

Our favorite book of the day:  Kid Tea, another great book about colors.

We had lots of fun with the Math Tubs...
Polydrons

Unifix Cubes
Pattern Blocks



I hope you have a great three day weekend.  Don't forget about Parent Night (adults only!) on Tuesday at 6:00.  If you can't make it at 6, just get here when you can.  

View from our room......the best classroom at Blakely!

Patrick told us that he learned the 3 R's but was only able to tell us one of them. After reading your post, I reminded him of the other 2 and the light lit up in his eyes and he said, "Oh yeah!".
