Snow Motion

Amazing day on the slopes today!  Our kindergarten class had a wonderful time skiing and snowboarding at Cochran's Ski Area.  The weather was great and we enjoyed the sunshine and comfortable temperature.
A big thank you to Mr. Godfrey, our P.E. teacher, and to the parents who volunteered to help us today.
We hope you like the photos from our first day on the slopes.

Kindergarten Assembly


Today Kindergarten students led the school in an assembly about Martin Luther King Jr.
They shared a short video about Dr. King and sang the song "Freedom, Freedom, Let It Ring.
When they finished singing they invited the entire school to join them in singing the song one more time. Excellent job kindergarten students.

Pajama Day

What a fun Friday!  We were all so comfy in our pajamas.  Pajama Day was a great way to celebrate positive and expected behavior.

Pomanders

On Monday afternoon kindergarten students made pomanders with their fourth grade buddies.  The room was filled with the wonderful scent of citrus and cloves.  Students decorated their clementines with clove designs such as zigzags, swirls, faces, names, etc.  We certainly were using our sense of touch, smell and sight to create these festive decorations.   Another fun project with our fourth grade buddies.
