Have you Enjoyed our Blog This Year?

If you have viewed and enjoyed our classroom Blog this year, please let me know. I am evaluating whether parents and other family members have learned about our school day & the experiences we have in kindergarten through this added means of communication. As it is a time-consuming process, I'd appreciate your feedback. Please send me an e-mail or note if you have found it of value to you and your child. Thank you!

Thanks for a great year!

Our Visit to 1st Grade!

We visited Mrs.Smith's 1st Grade class this week! It was SO cool to see the insides of real desks and lockers! Our 1st grade buddies gave very good tours!

Mrs.Smith read us a story and we got our questions about 1st grade answered!

Only 14 more days left of kindergarten!!! (That's if Mrs.Kapsner can bear to let us go!)

Science: Living Things

In addition to observing goldfish and tadpoles, kindergartners planted and observed the following plants:

• sunflowers
• zinnias
• lettuce
• marigolds
• summer squash
• basil and
• pumpkins

Today they will go home. Remember plants need water, light, air, space and soil to thrive!
