Please go out and smell the flowers!

Use the FLOWERS AND THEIR COLORS SHEET to learn more details about flowers and get some ideas of activities you can do. Remember the CAMERA GAME?

Or simply go out and see what you can, and share it with a family member!

Did you notices any pollinators? (bees, butterflies, humming birds) How many colors did you see?

May 29th, 2020: Hello Kindergardeners. I invite you to look for living things where you are and see how many you can find. Perhaps you can even sort them out by groups? By what their colors, shapes maybe even their jobs! To do this activity you can use this sheet: Living Things Activity Sheet . If you would like to send Ms. Mindy a message about what you notice, try using FLIPGRID using this link: Kindergarden Living Things


Hello Kindergardeners. Here is a video of our garden rules song in MY garden. Also, if you want to start doing some gardening share this sheet of ideas with your family. I cannot wait to see you back in the garden!
