Bennett Farms Field Trip

We had a wonderful day at Bennett Farms on Wednesday!!

Our class with pumpkins

                      

Running through the maze

Thank you to all the parents that came along!!!  I hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did! To all the parents that could not be there: your children behaved well and enjoyed their day!!!  Our day included: petting farm animals, a hayride to the pumpkin patch to pick their own pumpkin off the vine, jumping in the corn crib, sponge painting a cute owl, dressing scarecrows, going through a hay maze to find a pumpkin and then their way out, learning about how to make syrup and how to cook pork rinds, and a fun picnic lunch on the farm.  The weather was perfect and the bus ride was fun for all!  Thank you to the staff at Bennett farms for great day!

The Yummy Letter A

   Yesterday we had a yummy time   celebrating the letter A and its sound by making apple turnovers.  We followed a recipe and made turnovers while wearing our A aprons.                         

Thank you to Houston's mom, Micah's mom, and Josey's mom for their help! Thank you also to the parents who sent in the ingredients to make it ALL possible.


Today we had our apple taste test.  Which kind of apple is your favorite: green, yellow, or red?  After our taste
test, we created a Apple Math Glyph to show how we like our apples best!

Next week we move on to the letter S!  Look for notes in Monday folders to see what we will be doing and how you can help!  

Have a great weekend!  GO BIG O and ROLL TIDE! 

    

Pumpkin Seeds

We have planted our pumpkin seed and are keeping watch of our plant as it grows.

Black and Gold Day

Thanks to Erin and her mom, we have a black and gold tree in our classroom.  We have been working hard and with help from Houston's mom we have decorated it with yellow jackets and footballs.  Carson's mom donated pom-poms to our class for pep rallies and we used them as our tree skirt.  Thank you to all the parents!!!

  GO JACKETS!!!  

Barefoot Stations

We filled our bucket!!!! 

As their reward for filling the bucket, our class had our reading stations while barefoot this past week. 

What a simple yet satisfying reward for them! 

Book Order Reminder

Our book orders are due tomorrow!  If you were wanting to place an order, send it in tomorrow or place the order online by tomorrow afternoon.  I will be placing the order over the weekend.  Have a wonderful weekend! :)

First week of Kindergarten

Our first week of Kindergarten has come and gone!  We had a great week adjusting to our new schedule and getting to know one another.  Thank you to all of our wonderful parents that have volunteered either their time or supplies already and to those that have signed up to help in the future.  Because of the help and support we received, our first week was a HUGE success!  Your child, most likely, was exhausted and ready for a restful weekend (as was I).  Now, as I plan for our second week, I look forward to our moments together as we explore, learn, and share!  Please remember to contact me whenever you have a question, comment, or concern.

TOGETHER WE CAN!
