Sensory Bottles & At Home Readers

We had a busy short week after returning from February vacation. We shared our awesome new sensory bottles that were created at home over vacation. It was nice to hear from the students when they explained the steps that went into making their own sensory bottle. We will keep the bottles in the classroom for a few weeks to enjoy them and then we will send them home.

We also had many students complete their February reading at home charts and we had one student write over vacation. Nice job Room 101.

Teddy Bear Day!

We learned about the first teddy bear, created as a fun tribute to President "Teddy" Roosevelt in 1902. We read the Legend of the Teddy Bear by Frank Murphy. We learned that the Teddy Bear was named after President Theodore Roosevelt. We also read the story Winnie the True Story of the Bear Who Inspired Winnie-The-Pooh by Sally M. Walker. We learned how the books by A.A. Milne came to be. We brought our own Teddy Bears in from home and went on a Teddy Bear Parade through Pine Glen. On our parade we stopped by our 4th grade partners classroom to show our buddies our bears. 

Mrs. Parnell's bears from home.  They have movable legs and arms and wear clothes, just like the first Teddy Bear!

Yea for the 100th day!

On Wednesday, February 25th, we celebrated our 100th Day of Kindergarten. We are 100 days smarter! We had a great day. We dressed in our 100 bead necklaces, our 100 day crowns and posed with our 100 stamped mats this morning. We then we had our Morning Meeting and shared our 100 Collection slide show. We wrote the numbers 1-100 and designed our own monsters with 100 things on them! We had our 100 Day Workout, did the 100 second scribble and 100 Day Dance Party. We went to Gym and then hunted for 100 chicks after we read The Wolf's Chicken Stew. Then we wrote about our favorite part of the day. It was a FUN and BUSY day in K!
