Recently, Daryl was honored as our class' Shining Light!  Daryl was chosen because of his hard work during writer's workshop!  Daryl has been really working on writing a story with a complete beginning, middle and ending!  Way to go, Daryl!

Our Butterfly Field Trip

We had such an amazing time on our field trip to Oakland Mall to visit the butterfly exhibit.  We enjoyed 3 different locations during our experience.  Here we are getting ready to go on our first field trip.

We began by listening to the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar and watched videos explaing the life cycle and body parts of caterpillars and butterflies.

Here we are as we entered the butterfly house!  It was very hot inside, and there were butterflies flying everywhere!  We all got to hold a butterfly and watched them fly, climb and drink gatorade!

We also headed over to the art area wher we leaned how to make paper butterflies that flapped their wings when we pulled a string!

We had such a great time!  We can't wait for our next field trip!  We would like to thank all of the chaperoines who joined us on our first kindergarten field trip - Mrs. Barnes, Ms. Littleton, Mr. Brooks, Ms. King, Mrs. Espuet, and Mrs. Marbury.

Shining Light

As we continue to update our past Shining Light, here is Tonia as she proudly showed off her award.  Tonia was chosen because of her kind words and her progress on following directions.  Keep up the good work, Tonia!

Mystery Reader

Here is Anthony and his mom when she visted us as our Mystery Reader!  We had such a great time listening to one of our favorite stories, Horton Hatches the Egg by Dr. Seuss.  We love to guess which rhyming words Dr. Seuss will use next! 

Snack Review

We keep learning...even during snack!  Here we are enjoying our Fruit Loop snack and reviewing our math!  We sorted, graphed and made patterns.  Learning is always more fun when you can eat your work!

Mystery Reader

A few weeks ago, our village had a special visitor!  The Grizz from Oakland Univeristy joined us for a village meeting and read us a story!  Here is our class with our new friend!
