Up Up and Away - well almost!

Welcome to the first day of school.  Today the kids got to see a real hot air balloon.  Although the plan was for it to take off with Mrs. Philliips inside - the wind was too rough.  It was exciting though just to see one up close and watch them inflate it.  Hope your child had a great first day.

Welcome to Munchkin Lands Lollipop Shop

The end is near!

Only a couple more weeks of school and your little ones will become first graders.  Can you believe the year is almost done?  This summer have your child keep a journal of their day- it's a great way to keep them writing and save good memories!  

Welcome Lester Laminack

What a great treat this week as we welcomed the amazing author - Lester Laminack.  he has written many books and is an excellent presenter.  We have read many of his books in our class throughout this year.  If you weren't able to order any of his books this week- run to the library and check some out.  You will love tove them. 

Time to Celebrate Eric Carle

What a fantastic unit we have had reading Eric Carle books.  The kids have loved reading the many, many books.  To end the unit all kindergarteners had a fun day doing activities related to Eric Carle.  We made shirts earlier in the week and they turned out so cute!

We had pancakes and a movie, made caterpillar necklaces, and then played Eric Carle bingo. During the afternoon we  made fireflies out if band-aids and click beetles.  

Dental Health

February is Dental Health Month.  This year we were lucky to have a mom from the Mallard's class come to educate us.  She did an awesome job of showing us how to take care of our teeth daily and the right foods that help keep our teeth healthy.  She even brought us all a new toothbrush.

It's the 100th Day!

Celebrating the 100th day was so

much fun!  The kids made great things to celebrate. Here are a couple if fun things.
