Queen Hailey

Hailey was our Queen of the Jungle this past week and she loved every minute of it. I love when Hailey get excited about something because her face lights up and there is a huge smile across her face! Her favorite color is fuchsia – which I think suits her perfectly. Her favorite book is Tiger’s Adventures, which her mom was able to come and read to us! Hailey loves the movie Hotel Transylvania and playing mini golf. She also likes spaghetti and meatballs and her favorite animal is a unicorn! Her favorite song is Brave by Sara Bareilles and she is special because she loves to dance and has been in ballet for three years. She even brought in some of her dance pictures to share with us! She loves spending time with her family and when she grows up she wants to be a popstar! Please check out this video of Hailey during her week of being the Queen!

                    

Queen Dakota

Dakota was our Queen of the Jungle this past week! I would have to say that Dakota is so sweet and always tries her best everyday. Dakota's favorite color is blue and her favorite book is Biscuit and the Lost Teddy Bear, which her mom got to come and read to our class!  Her favorite movie is Tangled, and she loves baseball and steak! Her favorite animal is a dog and she loves the song "Roar"! Dakota is special because she thinks of others and when she is at home she likes to play with her brother and sister. When Dakota grows up she wants to be a mommy and a teacher! Here is a video of Dakota as the Queen!


          

Queen Cyndrin

Cyndrin was our Queen of the Jungle last week, and she loved being the Queen! I would have to say that Cyndrin is one of the sweetest girls I know. Cyndrin's favorite color is orange, and her favorite movie is Nemo, and she loves spaghetti and meat balls. She also loves the song "Call Me Maybe" and really knows almost all of the words! She also likes the story "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". She likes basketball and leopards. She likes to play with her barbies when she is at home and she is special because she has older sisters that love her and she loves them very much too! Here is a video of Cyndrin's week as the Queen!


            

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We remember MLK, 

Honored on this special day.

He had a dream that we would stand

United together in this land, 

That we would strive to find a way

To live as friends in peace today.

He wanted each of us to see

The beauty of equality.

He taught that right overcomes wrong, 

That hope can turn the weak to strong, 

And showing love instead of hate

Would make our country truly great.

His message, meant to set us free, 

Was filled with hope for you and me.

So on this day let freedom ring, 

As we remember Dr. King!

Please watch our Dr. King video!
 

                      

Holiday Break

I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday and were able to spend some time with family and friends! I can not believe our kindergarten year is half way over! We have had a great year so far and I know that it will only get better!

I have been meaning to post something about our Holiday program all break and now here I am on the last day finally posting something... I am so very sorry it took me so long.

Mrs. Schroeder and I are so proud of all our friends - they really did an amazing job at the program. Here is a recap of our program - unfortunately I did not think to video tape our program so if anyone has a video they would like to share with Mrs. Woita that would be great! I am sorry our songs are missing.

The two days before break we played fun holiday games and also had a photo booth which of course was a favorite - for both students and teachers and here is a video of some of our pictures which we showed before our program started...

Hello everyone and welcome to our Holidays Around the World program! We traveled to 5 different countries and we will tell you what we learned in each one. We also made a video of our travels for you to watch. Then we will sing a song for each country.  Let's  get started...

We first traveled Germany and in Germany families decorate Christmas trees and we made a Christmas tree in Germany! Here is the video of us in Germany...

Then we traveled to Holland and in Holland Sinterklaus leaves gifts in kids shoes and in Holland we made a wooden shoe with carrots and hay! Here is the video of us in Holland... 

We then traveled to Israel and in Israel they celebrate Hannukah and in Israel we learned how to play dreidel! Here is the video of us in Israel...

****

Next we traveled to Africa and in Africa they celebrate Kwanzaa and in Africa we made kinara bracelets! Here is the video of us in Africa...

We also traveled to America and in America we made ornaments and we use jingle bells to celebrate the holidays. In America some kids get presents from Santa! We even had elves that came to keep an eye on us! Here is the video of us in America and of our sneaky elves, Snowflake and Isis. 

We enjoyed learning about different cultures and we liked learning how people celebrate! Here is the video of us during our travels.

 

Again I hope you had a wonderful holiday break!! Stay warm! :) Mrs. Woita
