176 Days Smarter...Reflecting on Journals...

This is such a fun way for the kids to really SEE how much they have learned!!

Here are some of our reflections...
"I was a good writer at the beginning of kindergarten, too!", said  Brett
"I didn't use periods at the ends of my sentences at the beginning", said  Nola.
"I used to leave out words.  It didn't make sense!", said Riley.
"I forgot to mooooove over (leave spaces between words)", said Audrey T.
"I wrote so many time that my cover fell off", said Josh.
Many of these kiddos are on 2nd journals or are using loose paper now.  These are coming home today.  Happy Reading!!!!

Grant's Farm and The Very Busy Kindergartners

Big thanks to all of our parent helpers!!! 

The Very Busy Kindergartners ...

Field Trip Reminder, Memory Books, and August Fun....

Hee-haw...tomorrow is our Grant's Farm field trip. 

 If you are joining us, we'll be boarding the bus at 8:50 and returning by 11:25.
We are going to try to fit all of our parent volunteers on the bus, so that hopefully we can all ride together.  If we don't have enough space on the bus, we recommend that parents carpool to share the cost of parking. They charge $12 per vehicle.

We have started our Kindergarten Memory Books.



Today "oldest and only" kids are bringing home this flyer.

 I'm planning on attending on August 1st, and would LOVE to see some of my peeps!!!

Yet another of my faves....

A New Butterfly Garden and Star Reader with a Super-Fun Crossover

You may have noticed the new Butterfly Garden one of our PEGS students,

Joey Musial finished putting in last Saturday. Tom Terrific, neighbor of Truman, helped Joey

with the project.

It is located just outside the courtyard. Please take a look at it.

Here are the plants they put in. Remember Host plants are where the butterflies will lay

their eggs and the larva will hatch, feed on it and develop into a chrysalis on it.

The nectar plants are the ones the adult butterflies will be attracted to and feed off of.

We should have a healthy supply of butterflies by the time we return in the fall!


Today, a crossover happened  in our guided reading book.  The Five Little Dogs made an appearance in our Bella and Rosie book!  You've seen it on TV...
you know, like when Mork and Mindy showed up on Laverne and Shirley, or you might remember when The X Files and The Simpsons crossed over.  Riley thought of when ICarly showed up on Victorious.
Can you think of any others?
