Farm Trip Pictures

We had an AMAING day at the farm! The kids got to milk a cow, feed chickens and goats, pet baby chicks, go on a hay ride, feed a pig and so much more. I am currently putting all the pictures into an I-Movie for you to see. Here are a few sneak peak pics.

Field Trip Change & ExhibtionsA note

Unfortunately, because of an issue with buses, we have to make one final date change for our farm trip.We will be going to Sugarbush Farm this Wednesday, May 19th. I do apologize for all the changes and confusion.

The students need to bring a bag lunch that can be thrown away. Also, the students can wear free dress, but it needs to be appropriate for the farm. (jeans, tennis shoes)

Again I apologize for the frequent changes!

Spring Animal Exhibitions

A note went home yesterday with exhibition sign up times. Please send it back or email me ASAP with your top 3 available times. We will have your student's learning team meeting directly after their presentation. Students need to present on their math, reading, writing, and social goal along with what they learned about their animal.

We Love Kindergarten!

The students did some writing about why they like kindergarten. In this podcast, they read the writing and show you what they loved most about this year!

Our New Smart Board

Because of my membership in UPA's Digital Academy, a Smartboard was installed in our classroom today. It is a touch sensitive interactive white board that can be connected to the computer to use for teaching and activities. Today, we used it to watch an online story and play some math games with coins. We are SO excited to have it in our room!

Check out this link for a more clear definition of a Smartboard.
