Last week, we started the week by going to Farmer’s Inn, where we had ice cream, visited the petting zoo, played on the playground, and we got to play mini golf! It was a great ending to a great year!
Last week, we did so many incredible things, but face painting might have been the highlight! The class had so much fun getting a new look!
Last week, we went outside for lunch, and the weather was so nice! We enjoyed a day away from the noisy cafeteria and in the warm sun!
Last week, we celebrated Letter G with games! The kids loved moving from station to station to play all the games we had. We had so much fun that we kept them for another day of playing!
Last week, we baked donuts for the “Donut Dance Party.” We had a great time mixing the ingredients and decorating them with icing and sprinkles!
Before spring break, we had our outdoor scavenger hunt for finding all of our eggs at the playground. The kids had to search for all twenty-four hidden stations using their maps. Thanks again to everyone who donated items for filling the eggs!
Last week, we finished our Science Fair project, and we found out that the medium-sized wiffle ball bat hits the furthest. Then, we visited the science fair to see all the other projects the students did. It was really cool to see all the creative ideas they came up with!
In this photo, one of our students is winding up to take a powerful swing with the big bat! Thanks to Miss Amanda, each student received some tips on how to hit better! And I think we have some great baseball and softball players in our class!
Last week, Mr. Potato Head went on a field trip with us! He helped us learn about our five senses. We visited the cafeteria, the dumpsters, the playground, the back parking lot, and the flagpole. While walking around, the students used his body parts to name the things we could hear, see, smell, taste, and touch.
In this picture, the students are all gathered around Mrs. M on a crazy Fun Friday! It’s hard to believe she has already been in our classroom for two full weeks! This week, Mrs. M is starting her Wild Weather unit, which I am sure the kids will love!
That little, green leprechaun escaped all of our traps! Last week, we built and set up some amazing traps to catch the leprechaun and to get his gold! He did take some of the kids’ gold glitter and their rainbow fruit loops, but he was too sneaky! He also destroyed our classroom! We will have to try again next year!
Last week, Mrs. Martini, our school nurse, visited our classroom to do a lesson on dental hygiene! She even brought along a giant mouth to show the kids where they need to be brushing. She wants every kid to remember that they need to brush twice each day!
Last week, we did a science experiment after reading One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. We used our five senses and acted like scientists to discover what each mystery liquid was. In this picture, you can tell by their strong reactions that they found out which one was vinegar!
Last week, on Fun Friday, we played a pizza math game where the students had to put together their pizza pies from an entire pile of options. The kids were able to use different tools to solve the problems, but they were even starting to do a lot of the addition problems in their head! It was great to see this!
Last Friday was our Valentine’s Day Party! We passed out our treats to all of our valentines. It was so nice seeing all the kids spread kindness amongst each other and with all of the staff members in the school. We made Valentines for several staff members earlier in the week.
Last week, we celebrated Groundhog Day, and we found out that there are six more weeks of winter! We used a spotlight to make shadows with our own groundhogs in the classroom.
Last week, we celebrated the 100th Day of School! The children dressed up to look like 100 year olds, and their outfits were fantastic! We also made crafts to go along with their age, so be on the lookout for that coming home. We also built a gigantic 100s chart that covered the the tile floor!
Last week, we had two virtual kindergarten days! It was so nice to see the friends who joined us on the video call to do their homework and learning activities. I was so impressed with how everyone acted, participated, and was attentive for all the activities we completed! Plus, we enjoyed learning more about everyone’s pets and families that they wouldn’t normally have for show and tell at school.
Last week, we did a science experiment to learn about hibernation. After learning about this winter event, we did a taste test with four different types of blueberries (regular, frozen, frozen in an ice cube, and with snow on top which was actually whipped cream). Did your child like any of these treats? Would a bear like them? Maybe that’s why they hibernate!
Last Friday, we had our “Show and Share” for the kids to bring in a Christmas present that they received. We had all sorts of toys, including stuffed animals, driving cars, games, trucks, dolls, and a microphone! It was a great mix of toys! At the end, all the classmates got to share and play with their friends!
Before starting our Christmas break, we learned a little bit about snow, and then we got to have a snowball battle in the classroom!
We celebrated “Grinch Week” all week, with tons of reading, writing, math, science, and craft activities. For our last day of “Grinch Week,” there was a big, green creature that visited our classroom. He was as “cuddly as a cactus” and as “charming as an eel.” The Grinch and his sidekick, Max, visited us! Then we took a little field trip to surprise the other kindergarten classes.
Last week, we had a tiny visitor from the North Pole join our class! Forest the Elf was found hiding in our tree after we decorated it together as a class. He also brought a book for us to read.
Last week, the children did an experiment called the “Tablecloth Trick” after we learned about Thanksgiving and setting a table for this holiday. This is the trick where someone pulls a tablecloth off of a table without the dishes crashing to the floor. How did your child do? Did they successfully do this trick or did their dishes fall? Are you brave enough to try this at home? (make sure to use metal pots and pans)
Last week, we had our Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Feast! It was such a fun day celebrating the small things in life, as well as our good friends!
This week, our class built their balloon floats for our Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Their creations really came to life!!

Last week, we learned about elections and how some of the voting process works. We even went to the polls to vote, like in this picture! The entire grade participated which made it a close race, but the chocolate chip cookie won the popular vote!
Members of the Passages Child Protection agency have been in our school doing lessons over the last four weeks with several grade levels. Miss Joy met with our class for four lessons where she taught our class about safe and unsafe touches with the help of her two puppets named Pistachio and Prune. We are very thankful to have them come into our school to teach us about some very important safety topics.
Last week was our Halloween Parade! The entire class looked amazing in their costumes, and they got so many compliments from other students and adults. It was a really fun day for us all!
Last week, Miss Olay began her student teaching experience! The kids have been eager to learn from her, and she is equally as excited to learn from the kids. We are excited to have her in our classroom for the next few months.
Last week was Fire Prevention Week, so several firefighters from the Brockway Firehall visited our school. They put their entire uniform on, and they explained how children should never be afraid of them, even if they look and sound a little funny. They also had lots of goodies for the kids to take home!
The janitors did not clean our classroom very well last week, and now there are spiders and cobwebs hanging all around the room! However, the spiders are perfect for the month of October, so we decided not to clean them up either. Thankfully, none of the kids have climbed the spider webs!
Last week, we did a science experiment to learn about the effects of wind. We tested different items to see how they stood up against a breeze versus a gust of wind. In this picture, the kids are trying their best to make wind, which is why their cheeks are puffed out!
Last week, on Fun Friday, we did our “Show and Tell” with the three things each kid brought in. It was so much fun listening to each student share their stories and their items!
Last week, we learned a lot about the American Flag. Ask your child how we respect the flag. Then, we went on a walk to find flags. We found over 100 American Flags around the school!
We had our Walking Field Trip last Friday. We visited the Police Station, and Officer Troy put everyone in the holding cell! The kids were full of smiles . . . . . until he closed the door!
Last week, Miss Tara and the kids did a craft together after we read “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.” The story is all about letters, and we worked hard to find the letters for their name!
We played “Get to Know You Yoga” where the kids had to perform different yoga moves to answer questions about themselves. As you can see, we have a bunch of pizza lovers in our class!
