Red Ribbon Week--Say "Boo" to Drugs

In celebration of Red Ribbon Week, we enjoyed a Say "Boo" to Drugs Day where we dressed in costumes to scare the drugs away. Later that evening, we enjoyed Glow Night which included a pumpkin decorating contest. Here are pictures from our fun day! We hope you like them! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

Music Around the World--A Christmas Edition--Week 2--Africa

We had so much fun in our Music Around the World Class on Friday! We began our afternoon by reviewing our songs from last week. Ask your child to sing "Let it Be Christmas Everywhere" and "Roo, Roo the Kangaroo" for you! We are really working hard to learn the words for these two songs.  After a quick review, we jumped into learning all about our new country of the day--Africa!

We were introduced to some special places from Africa and learned about animals and instruments that are unique to this country. Then, we were in for a fabulous treat--a visit from a real musician, Mr. Mark! Mr. Mark taught us about some of Africa's favorite instruments--drums! He played several different types of drums for us. We loved them all! Then, we enjoyed some traditional African music from the African Children's Choir. We were so inspired by these musical experiences that we decided to create our own African instruments--drums, shakers, and tamborines. Finally, we learned our own rousing rendition of "This Little Light of Mine" complete with African drums, shakers, and tamborines! Here is a show of our afternoon! Check it out and let us know what you think by leaving a comment below. We have also included some pictures from another great day! We hope that you enjoy them! Today was so much fun! We can't wait until next week! :)

Living Things

We are continuing our study of living things. After enjoying a visit to Green Meadows Pumpkin Patch where we had the wonderful opportunity to pet and feed farm animal, we began working on our keynote presentations (coming soon) about living and nonliving creatures. We also created a special spider snack this week, after we learned about the parts of a spider and how we know he is a living thing. Here are some fun pictures from our special snack.

Update on our pumpkin plants, another living thing...they are growing! :) 

Green Meadows Pumpkin Patch

We had a wonderful time exploring Green Meadows Pumpkin Patch where we were able to film and photograph the farm animals that we had been researching for our research projects. Here are some of the great photos that our Kindergartners took on our trip and a show from our fun day! Enjoy! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!
