Sock Hop Day




Mrs. Brown our music teacher introduced our kindergarten students to the music of the 50's. She taught them how to do the dance moves to the Twist, Hand Jive, and the Bunny Hop. Thank you to our parents for getting into the spirit by dressing their children in 50's outfits. We hope you enjoy our pictures.

What Smells in Kindergarten




This week we are learning about our five senses. The classes participated in many hands on activities to explore touching, hearing, tasting, seeing, and tasting. One of the favorite activities was the "smelly" bags. The children were blindfolded and given the opportunity to smell different items. If they were lucky, they were able to guess the items. However, many items were "tricky" and they were surprised to see what they had smelled.

Welcome to Kindergarten


We welcomed our kindergarten students shortly after 7:20 this morning. Many couldn't wait to get to school, while many had a few tears to shed. However, at the end of the day fun was had by all. We cannot wait to get started again on Monday. So rest up and get ready to start the learning fun on Monday.
