We must first begin with sharing a BIG thank you for everyone as they helped make our food celebration such an amazing success!  The food was really fantastic and gave us great insight into our Explorers favorite foods. It was sure a coming together, as all 75 kindergarteners enjoyed the foods together in our cafeteria.  Some of the amazing food we enjoyed were: sushi, perigees, Bruegger's Breakfast Sandwiches, cupcakes, Monkey Bread, salad, banana pudding and the list goes on and on and on.

Coming Soon...The Kindergarten CIS Cookbook

BOOK DRIVE

We are also needing to send another BIG thank you for helping out in our Book Drive.  Kindergarten is leading the school in the amount of books collected and the kids are more than excited to share some of their favorites with others that may enjoy them as well.  This week's campus Communicator that came home on Friday has a picture of the graph that we are building in the lobby.  Impressive!  Even MORE kindergarten basketballs will be added to it on Monday.  Ms. Dailey's class had quite a shipment arrive late this week!  Thank you!  

Expressing Ourselves in Many Ways

We sure enjoyed our Unit of Inquiry, How We Express Ourselves!  Mr.  Wood came and shared a great lesson on sound with us and we even got to create a fun song with him.  Music is a great way to express our feelings.  Another fun development in the unit was our Explorers deciding to express themselves using signs around the school to reinforce their thoughts.  Great job Explorers, you are such Thinkers!

Dripping water in the restroom was

Technology Fun

Our Explorers are having a great time with technology these days.  We are following a China Adventure of two little girls name Ava and Sophie in a documentary series called China Through My Eyes. 

Here is the link if you want to follow along: China Through My Eyes

Our Brightlinks and in-classroom computers provide a lot of learning enjoyment and cooperation.  Mrs.Snyder's and Mrs. Grzelak's classes even had an opportunity to Skype with Mrs. Snyder when she was home with one of her son's.  

 First in Math Learning Fun and Cooperation!

(Their at home points are growing as well, thank you for your support!)

We love writing!
