Yesterday we took advantage of the sun and warmer temperatures by taking a spring walk. Together, we searched for signs of spring. I cannot describe how sweet these kids were when observing the “little things.”  Enjoy the pictures!

Can’t you tell how bright the sun was?!?! 😎

Pussy willows! The kids loved feeling the soft buds. 

Look! It’s a crocus! 

The robin is a sure sign of spring! 

We watched the robin for about 5 minutes. They were so cute whispering about what they saw!

Think Spring! 🌷

Mrs. Hauke helped bring some springtime cheer in our classroom on Thursday! The kids created beautiful bird houses to hang on a spring tree. It was so much fun to create!

Too cute not to share...

I admit I am definitely behind the ball when it comes to sharing the awesome stuff these kindergartens are doing on a daily basis. Hopefully you heard about our Village School Winter Olympics which was held before vacation. It was such a fun day for the entire school! Enjoy the pictures!

The country we represented was Ireland 🇮🇪

The kids were asked to “shovel snow” (cotton balls) into a bowl.



Ring toss!

Team Work! ❤️

Playing hockey!

Curling 🥌

Building a snowman ⛄️

This was not as easy as it looked!
Speed skating!

HOORAY FOR THE 100th DAY!! 🎉🎉🎉

We had a fun filled day celebrating this exciting milestone in kindergarten! We rotated classes and took part in different activities centered around the number 100. In Mrs. Topchik’s class the kids made crowns, Mrs. Underhill had several 100 piece puzzles, Mrs. Foley challenged the kids with 100 stacking cups and I kept in shape by doing 100 different exercises! Phew!!

Thank you for helping your child gather 100 items. What an amazing job everyone did!! 

Only 75 days to go!! 😉

Happy New Year! 🎉🎆

We have had a couple of busy weeks in room 60! It is hard to believe that we are approaching the halfway mark in kindergarten. WOW! I love to reflect with the kids on the progress they have made thus far. They make me so proud!

Last week we were lucky to have done some fun crafts to liven up our bulletin boards. On Wednesday, Eli’s mother designed a beautiful winter bulletin board titled, “Reach for the Sky in 2018.”  The children cut out their outlined arm and hand and decorated the cutout. The board looks amazing!

On Wednesday, Mrs. Hauke brightened up our classroom with an amazing 3 D snowman. The kids made the sweet little birds! 

We ended the week with a wonderful conversation about Martin Luther King Jr.. I was truly amazed at the thoughtful insight these young minds shared. Teaching compassion and tolerance is something I feel so strongly about. 

Please ask your child about the conversation we had about the eggs. The pictures will make more sense to you once you chat with them!
