Veterans Day!

2009-11-11T17:19:00.000-08:00

Today we celebrated Veteran's day. We read a book called September 12, and learned a song about America. The children really enjoyed finger painting the American flag, and writing in their journals about our wonderful country. We talked about how we are all Americans, and how we all need to look out for each other. We also enjoyed our service project, which was picking out a post card and a message and emailing it to the troops.

The Big Red Barn book project!

Working on sight words!

Staheli Farm Field Trip!

2009-11-08T15:07:00.000-08:00

This week we had so much fun studying farm animals. One little girl as she was making a hen for our farm animal book put 4 legs on her chicken, and I said they only have 2, and she said no 4! I told her I guess we will find out tomorrow at the farm. The Staheli family was so kind to the kids. They milked a cow for us took us on a tour of their cattle and to the pumpkin patch on a trailer pulled by a tractor. The kids had fun seeing the pumpkin patch, because we had just studied the life cycle of a pumpkin, the week before. We also got to go to a petting zoo where the kids got to go inside the pens with the animals. Thanks to all the parents who donated snacks and their time with the kids. I'm sure this will be a highlight of their kindergarten year!!!

The First Day of School

I gave you a little wink and a smile

As you entered my room today.

For I know how hard it is to leave

And know your child must stay.

You’ve been with them for five years now

And have been a loving guide,

But now, alas, the time has come

To leave them at my side.

Just know that as you drive away

And tears down your cheeks may flow

I’ll love them as I would my own

And help them learn and grow.

For as a parent, I too know

How quickly the years do pass

And that one day soon it will be my turn

To take my child to class.

So please put your mind at ease

And cry those tears no more

For I will love them and take them in

When you leave them at my door.

Love,

Mrs. Anderson
