100th Day of School
We made it! January 24th was officially our 100th day of school. We celebrated by making a crown and 100 style glasses, eating a trail mix of 100 pieces of snack, counted by 10's to 100, made 10 groups of 10 pictures, painted 100 gumballs, wrote what we would want 100 of, buy for $100, and look like when we are 100 years old. As you can see we were very busy and to end our day we watched part of 101 Dalmations. To prepare for this day though, our friends practiced counting to 100 at home by making a special project to share with everyone. Check out our pictures and how creative our friends were with this project!
Fun in Centers
My friends have been working hard constructing puzzels, rollercoasters, boats out of connecting cubes, and villages in block center. They are so very proud and ask me all the time to take their picture so here is a sneak peak of some of our centers.
Sea Turtle Expert Visit
We are currently wrapping up our study on the Leatherback Sea Turtle but before we were finished we asked a sea turtle expert from the University of Georgia to come speak to us. While researching we learned that you cannot always find everything in a book or on the computer, sometimes you have to ask an expert. Dr. Maerz was wonderful, he even brought live turtles for us to hold! There were too many pictures to choose from that I decided a link to the album would be the best way to include them all. I hope you enjoy, just click below! We will be moving on to the rainforest next!
Celebrating the new year!
When we returned for school after winter break we rang in the new year kindergarten style! We started off by making party hats and decided we would have our own count down from 10. When we reached zero we all popped bubble wrap (we agreed it sounded a lot like the fireworks some of us heard that night). We then decided to make our own fireworks and write about what we did to celebrate New Years Eve.
Rewind
I know it has been a while but our holiday performance and party pictures are finally here! Enjoy!
