Literary Parade

We had a great time parading around the school in our literary costumes! We loved seeing the BIG kids clap and wave to us!

Field Trip

What a beautiful day to have a field trip! The sun was out, perfect temperature, and not a cloud in the sky. Mrs. Roberts got us lost in the corn maze! Thankfully Mrs.Griffin took charge and got us out. The class loved feeding the cows on the hayride and visiting the animals in the barn. Take a look at our fun day!

Pumpkin Observations!

We started our pumpkin unit this week by using our five senses. The class loved using their sense of sight to observe the pumpkins. After observing the pumpkins we discussed ways to sort the pumpkins: stem and no stem, bumpy and smooth, small and large, and lines and no lines.

Retelling Our Star Books!

One of our students, A, retold the story : Caps For Sale.  One of the pre-reading skills is to be able to listen to a story and retell it by using details and vocabulary.  "A" did a great job sequencing the story, using dialogue and story vocabulary, and read with expression. 

Our Trip To The Garden


We planted corn seeds in the garden. We are looking forward to our weekly visits to watch the corn grow!
