Kildee baby birds are born!!

Last week, we took a "mini" field trip out to see the mother Kildee bird sitting on her eggs. As I was coming in today, I noticed that the baby birds had hatched!! So, this afternoon we went outside to take a peek at the new babies and the mother bird did not like this at all! Finally, as we moved further away from her, she let her babies run around and show off! There are 4 baby birds that are just precious. You can notice in the first picture that one of the babies is underneath her and to the right a little. What a great Science lesson and learning opportunity right in our front yard!

Mystery Reader!!!

We had probably the most over the top mystery reader I have ever seen!! Mr. Dontos did an EXCELLENT job reading to the kids as "Thing One" from Dr. Seuss.

Sammy Smith-Teacher for the Day!!!

At the Lakeside Carnival, Sammy won the prize to be "Teacher for the Day!!"

He did a GREAT job taking over for me!!

Wood and Water

We did a fun experiment last month with wood and water. The children each got a sample fo 5 different types of wood. They used droppers to drop water onto the wood. They were trying to see what happened when the wood got wet. Some absorb the water, some rolled right off. They had a blast doing this activity!!

Long time no see...

Well, since I officially have not blogged in two months, I thought I would post some pictures for you to see! Here are some pics from Tangles Salon....

Let it snow!!!

Blogging...

I've noticed, that I haven't posted anything in a MONTH on our Kinder blog! I just wanted to ask for your patience right now. My "have to, everyday, focus" right now is Guided Reading. I think this is such a crucial time in your child's reading development. That being said, I'm also just trying to make it through the day without getting sick in front of the kiddos :) So, if I am going to take something off my plate, it is going to have to be blogging, temporarily. But, feel FREE to email me anytime to see what we are doing in K1, I would be happy to share. This is also where the newsletter is pretty handy in taking a peak into our classroom. THANK YOU in advance for your patience and please continue to check the blog just in case (ESPECIALLY in 4 weeks)...I will try to add Dalmatian pictures soon....
