A Salute to our Veterans!

 We stand tall and proud for the men and women 

who protect us day in and day out.  

We thank you for your endless service and sacrifice.  

Halloween Fun!

This week was full of traditions.  

We baked chocolate chip cookies to celebrate the first snow fall 

and parents gathered the night before Halloween to decorate our hallway.  

My little darlings were so amazed and excited 

to be in our glow-in-the-dark hallway 

filled with friendly ghosts floating overhead.  

Thanks to Shannon Iakiri and crew - we all had a great day!

Here are my Halloween characters!😄

Even our classroom mascot, Mabel 

dressed up as a Wise Owl for Halloween

Thanks to all the parents for helping to make this day a memorable one!!!🎃

The First Flakes of the Season

Tradition!  

It is known far and wide 

that once the first snowflakes of the season drift down from the sky, 

our class stops whatever they are doing 

to make chocolate chip cookies.  

Today was no exception.  

At 9:00 this morning, the first white, fluffy flakes 

danced in front of our classroom window. 

A cheer rose as children pressing their little cheeks to the window 

to watch this beautiful ballet.

"Are you ready to bake some cookies?"

We quickly zipped outside 

with our dry erase boards adorned with illustrations 

of our favorite cookie shape or how we were feeling about the first snow.

We were so happy Mr. Hall and Mr. Davison could join us!!!

 The smell of Toll House cookies visited every classroom on the first floor.  

The best part was enjoying them warm with friends!  

It's tradition - a favorite one for sure!!!

Reading Fun in the Dark!

What could be more fun than reading with your own personal flashlight?  

Thanks to Reader Man, we have been able to enjoy reading our books 

with the classroom lights off.  

This week, we will read by lantern light - perfect for Halloween!!🎃

Welcome 2019-20 Kindergarten Families!

This is the place to view all the fun and learning that happens in room 101.  We are a lively bunch and have already accomplished so many learning goals.  So check us out!!

In science, we have been learning all about weather and climate.  

Here we are learning how a thermometer works by comparing temperature 

readings in the sun, in the shade and inside our classroom.  

We then recorded our findings on a graph. 

A Friday Surprise!

Persuasive writing can be an interesting unit of study with kindergartners.

 Earlier this week, we wrote a letter to Mrs. Allen to persuade her to allow kindergartners to eat lunch outside like the other grade levels - just once please.  We wrote our plea and promised to eat first, clean up our trash and put our lunch boxes back in the provided bin.  Our whole class signed the letter and sent a group of six to deliver our request.  Her response, "maybe"😉

As we stood in line for lunch today, over the P.A. came the announcement, "Outside lunch for EVERYBODY!"   We all jumped for joy - our voices were heard - our request was granted!!

Here are our happy lunchtime faces!!

Thank you Mrs. Allen!!
