K1 Hair Salon Grand Opening 2010!











We have not had as much Dramatic Play as I had wanted this year in Kinder. Soo, one of my little darling girls (Thanks O.L.) :), asked if we could have a Hair Salon as a Free Choice Center. So, I said, "I would think about it". As I was thinking about it (a.k.a. 2 minutes later), she had already made a sign for the Salon, a list of things we could have at the salon and my personal favorite, a Circle Map brainstorming all the ideas of what we could do at the salon. So needless to say, I'm a sucker and couldn't say no!! I was thinking since the boys have blocks, legos and all the fun boy stuff, it was time for something a little girlie in K1. Along with all the fun of doing hair and makeup, we will be learning as well!! We will have an appointment book so they can practice telling time, phenominal fine motor practice and they will have pretend money to pay for their hair services of course!! If you have anything you would like to donate to the K1 Hair Salon, I would gladly take it off your hands!! Walk-Ins Welcome Moms! :)

St. Joseph's Village





























I'm always a little anxious about this field trip every year, but this group of kiddos never seizes to amaze me! They were SO polite, kind and very friendly to the people of St. Josephs. I was so proud of them and just loved listening to the children interact with the elderly. They did an EXCELLENT job on their first field trip and we are looking forward to Thursday's field trip!























Project Linus


In Kindergarten, we are making quilts to give to needy children through the Project Linus organization. The children did a great job cutting and tying knots on the quilt. Thank you Mrs. Azhari for helping us and being very patient with us! :)

Ms. Frizzle!


Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus is one our favorite indoor recess friends AND she came to visit K1 just a few weeks ago! WOW! Amy was a hit last year in K1 when she came as Ms. Frizzle, so we decided she should make another appearance this year! Surprise surprise, the children LOVED her! Thanks for doing such a great job with the kiddos Amy, you're a natural!
