Happy 100th Day of School!!!

Our kindergartners celebrated the 100th day of school yesterday to everyone's enjoyment. Everyone brought in 100 items to count with the class. We took the time to count by 5's and 10's also. The M&M project allowed us to count to 100 on a map of numbers, as well as eat some delicious chocolate. Our 100th day stories and stickers added to the fun of the occasion. Congratulations to all the Kindergartners on making it through 100 days of School!

Water Color Fun! A great way to release some artistic energy.

Occupy the Oven: A Ginger Bread Tale, performed by the Kindergartners for the School Christmas Show.

A Time to Give Thanks!! A multi-cultural Turkey Stuffing Potluck for all Kinder families.

Fun in Fall!!

We did leaf rubbings this week and sang different poems that have to do with the new season of Fall. Please have  your child bring in different types of leaves for us to compare and contrast. We have also begun singing some Halloween favorites to get us ready for the haunting season. We hope to see everyone at our Annual Fall Festival on October 29th at Old St. Mary's Church on California Street. If you have any small pumpkins or Halloween decorations to help us brighten up our classroom, please bring them in. Thank you and Happy Halloween!
