Creativity!

Welcome to our 2nd last week of Kindergarten! Everyone is very excited to count down the days each time we have our calendar meetings. We always count how many days are left before our class trip and how many more days of school we have.

 

This mornings busy-ness included play-doh creations, farming/sand table action, and building bridges.

 

 

We read some great books today about thinking out of the box and being creative.

After reading Going Places, we worked a bit on a Kindergarten memories booklet. We read Sky Color before everyone engaged in drawing their final "This is me" self portrait. We also read The Zlooksh, a story about a boy with a very vivid imagination who draws a picture of his favorite animal- a zlooksh.

 

We also had our last Raider of the Month assembly today. We sang happy birthday to all students with a birthday in June/July/August, watched a slideshow with photos throughout the year (including a farewell to the staff that are moving on from our school next year), and were introduced to next years SRC. The current SRC organized an activity for the four house league groups. Everyone picked two song titles from a bucket. They had to choose one song, choreograph a dance, and then perform it for the rest of the school. Everyone did fantastic!! It was great to watch students K-12 working together. :)

 

In other news, our Go Noodle champ McPufferson final reached his highest level today! This is always an exciting time in our classroom.

 

With that, we have four days of Kindergarten left! :)
