Dr. Seuss Fun!

Last Friday on March 1st we celebrated Dr. Seuss's Birthday! We started our day with a school wide book parade - it was so much fun to see all of the books and characters! We then continued our day by reading lots of Dr. Seuss books and in the afternoon we met the Cat in the Hat!!!! We even got to eat some green eggs and ham - okay it wasn't really green eggs and ham - but we made pudding and turned it green and topped it with a vanilla wafer and white and brown sprinkles for the people who like salt and pepper on their eggs!
Check out the video of our fun day!!

Fast February

Math Night!
A few weeks ago we had family math night and it was AMAZING!!! I sure hope the families that were able to attend had as much fun as I did. We got to play math games with our families and have fun with our family and friends. We had guessing jars and prizes for everyone who came!
I have started to send out both the math and literacy bag activities for you to do at home. Please keep the bag until you have time to complete the activities, once you are finished please make sure everything is returned to the bag and sent back to school! It is my hope that you will have fun learning and playing together!

Parent Teacher Conferences!
I can not believe that we are having conferences next week! I am looking forward to the conversations we will have! Please bring your kindergartener with you to conferences if you are able to! As always, please let me know if you have any questions and return your conference sheets as soon as possible!

Valentines Day!
We had so much fun on Valentine's Day! We decorated cookies and boy oh boy did we have fun with the sprinkles!!! We also played some different games in the afternoon. We wrote down the words we found on conversation hearts, we raced with plastic hearts, we used valentine stamps and stencils, we dug for words to make the phrase "I love you", we ate one of our delicious cookies, we played tic-tac-toe, we got to guess how many pieces of candy were in the bag and the winner got to keep all of the candy and we had fun with our very own photo booth! Mrs. Woita is working on a video and will hopefully have it up on the blog sometime this week!

100th Day of School

We have had so much fun in kindergarten this year and we can not 

believe that we have been in school for over 100 days already!

On the 100th day of school we celebrated all day long...

we made a picture with 100 squares, we did the 100th day olympics with 100 different exercises, we made glasses and hats, we made necklaces with 100 fruit loops, we thought about what we would do with $100, we made a snack using 100 of each item, we read 100th day books, and had fun all day long with the number 100!!! Please check out our video!

                   

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!

Fun in the Snow!

We have had a great start to our week and our picking up right where we left off
and we know that 2013 is going to be amazing! I loved hearing about all of the fun and exciting things all of the kids did over break!
This week we started learning about the weather during science and we have been talking about the different kinds of weather Nebraska has! We have also talked about the things you can do when it is sunny, rainy, windy, and snowy. Yesterday we decided to make a snowman!
And it is official!!! We all love to play in the snow!
Speaking of snow.... I am sure most of you know that the kids need to have boots AND an extra pair of shoes if they want to play in the snow during recess, otherwise our pants and floor would be a mess! Please make sure to send you child to school in appropriate clothes - layers are always good because you can always take things off if needed! An extra set of gloves and a hat are always good to keep in the backpack too! 
Please check out our little video of us making our snowman!

New Year's Resolution!

Hi everyone!

So sorry it has been awhile since I have blogged, December sure does fly by...

especially when you are having fun like we are in kindergarten!

I wanted to let everyone know that it is going to be my "New Year's resolution" to write on this blog once every two weeks - so that way you can stay updated on the latest kindergarten news! Of course I would like to exceed my expectations but we will just have to see how that goes!

I hope you all had a wonderful break with your family and friends and that you got to relax and have some fun! I am looking forward to seeing my 22 little friends on Monday morning and are hoping they are ready to come back to school to see me! 

I just know that we are going to have a great start to our New Year!  :) Mrs. Woita
