King Colby

Colby was the King of the Jungle the last week in December and oh boy what a fun week that was. During his time as king he got to have lunch with both his grandparents and his mom. His mom even came and read to us a few stories from his favorite book Curious George! If I could describe Colby I would say that he is just so sweet and he is always in a good mood! Colby's favorite color is blue and his favorite movie is The Lorax. He loves basketball and baseball and when he grows up he wants to be a baseball player! His favorite food is mac and cheese and he loves bears. He also loves Luke Bryan, but who doesn't! Colby is a special kid because he always keeps his room clean and his smile can light up the room! Here is a video from Colby's week as the King of the Jungle!

                    

December happenings....

I can't believe this school year is almost half way over - oh how the time does fly by!
We have been busy with assessments for our second quarter report cards, getting ready for our holiday program and of course having way too much fun with Snowflake and all of our fun projects!
We also had three friends celebrate their birthdays in December. Happy Birthday to Royale, Kylah, and Junior! We all hope you had the best birthday ever!

King Chase

This week our King of the Jungle was Chase. If I were to describe Chase I would have to say that he is a silly kid who works hard! He is known to his family as Chaser! Chase - I mean Chaser loves the color blue and his favorite book is How the Grinch Stole Christmas - it was super cool because his dad came in to read his favorite story to us! He also likes the movie The Gremlins and was disappointed when we couldn't watch it at school. He loves Nascar and hotdogs and more than anything he LOVES his dog - Bolt! His favorite song is Enter Sandman! Chase is a special kid because he is a good helper and when he grows up he wants to be a baseball player! Chase loved being the King of the Jungle and here is a short video of his special week!

                 

Our Practicum Students

Today is the last day our amazing practicum students will be here with us at Meadow Lane!
Ms. Nikki and Ms. Lexi have helped us so much over the past few months, we are so very lucky they were assigned to our classroom. Some of my friends don't understand why they won't be coming anymore so I had to tell them that they are going to college at UNL to become real teachers and they have to go and learn more about what teachers do and how boys and girls learn! They helped us learn so much and we will really miss them. We made a short video to say thanks for being so great!


              

Soo busy!

There are only 2 weeks left in the second quarter! Time is sure flying by and we have been learning so much. I will be testing all of my friends on all of the things we have been working on- I can't wait to see how much my friends have learned! Report cards will be coming home in January.

We have finally finished up our Sink and Float unit and oh man do my friends love to experiment! We made a book about objects that sink and objects that float, we had fun making predictions and testing out objects, we also made some scuba divers that are now on display in the hallway, we even made a short video - please check it out below!

We are working hard on zipping up our coats all by ourselves - please remember to send your child with a coat, hat, and gloves when it is so cold outside. If there is snow on the ground and we go out to recess your child has to have an extra pair of shoes to change into if they want to play out in the snow. If you have any questions about this please let me know!

We are starting to embrace the holiday season! We have a special visitor in our classroom that I am sure you have hear about... more information on "Snowflake" our class elf will come soon. Although you must know that he is keeping a close eye on all of my friends to make sure they are making good choices throughout the school day!
 
We are going to be traveling the world (a.k.a - the kindergarten classrooms) to learn about how different cultures celebrate the winter holidays this week. During our kindergarten holiday program you will find out about what we have learned on our adventures around the world. Please note our program will be on Friday, Dec. 20th at 2:00pm in the auditorium - we sure hope you can make it!
