100th Day of Kindergarten

 Today was the 100th day of Kindergarten.  Students celebrated by bringing 100 small items from home and graphing them on a hundreds chart. They also counted to 100, wrote 100 words, and made a cool crown to acknowledge our 100 days of hard work.

Experimenting With Temperature of Water

Students explored different stages of water and its properties while measuring the temperature.  They discovered water at room temperature (72 degrees F) was a liquid and water at 32 degrees  F (freezing) became a solid. They also explained why the ice melted when they held it in their hands.  The children had to record what the temperature was that they observed.
Science Labs are so much fun!! :)

Baking Sweet Rolls for Christmas in Sweden

Girls in Sweden dress up as Santa Lucia

and serve sweet rolls & coffee to their family.

 We studied Christmas in Holland and learned how the children there put their shoes out for Sinterklaas to fill with goodies.  We heard he was close by, so we put our shoes outside the classroom and he came and left us goodie bags!!! Thank you parents for providing all the wonderful candy, books, and party favors,  The children were so excited- it was magical!

We took a pretend airplane ride around the world!  We needed a plane ticket, a passport, and our suitcases!!

 

The students are learning about the human body. 

They had the chance to study a real skeleton thanks to LSU.

Your children enjoyed learning about the heart, lungs, brain, digestive system, bones, & joints. 

 We may have some little scientists among us!!
