Double Recess Day

What a great day for a double recess day!  Kindergarten classes had a wonderful time playing together on the playground.  All students in our school earned a double recess today for behaving in expected ways.   Great job RES students! 

Living and Nonliving

Kindergarteners explored living and nonliving things in the Neighborhood Forest.  Students searched the forest and sketched the things they found.  This was the beginning of our organisms unit.  As these scientists observe and research, they will discover the needs of plants and animals.

Kindergarten Scientists

Our class took a few laps around the track today and then had fun doing our science and math outdoors.  Kindergarten scientists collected, sorted, and counted acorns and leaves.  They even made observations about how the leaves were the same or different.

Read-To-Self

We are readers!  Look at these amazing students reading to themselves.  They are following our read-to-self expectations of staying in their reading spots, reading quietly, focusing on their books, and reading pictures and possibly some words.  We are already learning a great deal from our "learn about the world" or (non-fiction) books.  We also love reading our storybooks.

Nature Scavenger Hunt

Today we went on a scavenger hunt in the Neighborhood Forest.  Students did a great job searching the forest for the things on our list.  We found almost everything.  It was wonderful to see students working together and helping each other.  We love the outdoors!
