Welcome Back!!!

I believe I will start off with our fun activities!  Last Friday we had a "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Day!"  Our kinder friends were able to create their lovely Chicka, Chicka Trees, conduct a classroom experiment, and to top it off we were able to go bowling in the classroom!



Here are our lovely Chicka, Chicka Trees!



We were able to see a real coconut and made an educated guess on whether or not a coconut would sink or float.  These were the results of our hypothesis.  Of course, the coconut floated!

Please forgive the side view...working out kinks.
 

We were able to try coconut water and coconut cookie balls.  Once everyone completed the taste test we graphed what we liked and what we disliked.  Check out these results!

We were also able to try a little sight word bowling.  Each pin had a sight word or letter on it.  Students had to read the pins they knocked down.  This was the highlight of our day!



We have also been working a lot in our interactive reading journals.  Last weeks focus was on Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.  One of our questions was about problem solving.  Students were asked what could the letters do to keep themselves from getting hurt.  There responses were pretty grand!
"The letters should jump onto a trampoline so they won't get hurt."
I also wanted to share some pictures of art work and brain work!
 











Finally, I would like to end with a shout out to the "Blue Wave" team at our school (the maintenance crew).  They work so hard throughout the year to help keep our church/school campus flowing in excellence!  I thought they deserved a little treat....


Until next time.....

Live, Laugh, and Love 2 Teach!
