We love it when learning math can be hands on AND has a song to go with it. Even better when we get to do it all in our pajamas! Happy pajama day!

We tried to trap a leprechaun today to find his pot of gold. It made him upset and he made a big mess in our room. We learned that trapping someone to steal their gold is not a very nice thing to do. We decided to write him an apology note and then he left us a tasty treat! 🍀

Tell me you’re teacher besties without telling me you’re teacher besties. We showed up in the same exact outfit today totally unplanned! Our daughters too!!! Happy Book Character Dress up Day! 🐷 🐷 🐷 🐺

Team Kindergarten came in as our favorite fairytale The Three Little Pigs! We had an honorary Team K member join us as The “Bitty” Bad Wolf!

Kindergarten Science in Spring = tiny hands, big curiosity, and a whole lot of wiggly worms! Nothing says 'hands-on learning' like 5-year-olds whispering to worms and naming them Gary.

Nugget and French Fry are all fluffed and ready to move into a bigger home. The kindergarteners were so gentle with them and know that our room needs to stay EXTRA QUIET while they are visiting with us so they don’t get scared and can grow up happy and healthy. 🤫 🐥 😉

Winners drink milk and we’re all winners at SFE! These little racers voted chocolate as the best flavor. A huge thank you to our amazing librarian Mrs. Genetempo for organizing & running the taste testing station at our Kindy 500 and to Indiana Dairy Assoc. for helping to sponsor the event!

These were the absolute cutest cars! The kids had so much fun at our anual Kindy 500 event. Thank you SFE ARTISTS for leading the kids in collaboratively creating the race cars and leading our races this week. With the cooler weather the kids had a lot more gas this year.

What’s more fun than watching cars race around a track? Designing and building your own car! A big shout out to our creative STEM teacher Gaylene Rubin @SFE for supplying and running our car building station at this years Kindy 500 event. Hands on learning is the best way to learn!

You can’t have a race without wheels and this years Kindy 500 Marshal Chris Modglin provided plenty. He was even kind enough to bring in his colleague son’s track to give our kinder’s a real race experience. Thanks Mr. Modglin!

We ended our Kindy 500 event with a singing performance for the parents. Thank you Mr. Hoover for all the practice and support you gave our students to make this such a success. Doing it after all the running and racing really helped keep the jitters and wiggles to a minimum too.

We started our labeling unit in kindergarten by labeling our teacher! We stretched out our words and spelled them with the sounds we know. I’m so impressed with how great their phonetic spelling is already.

Thank you, Ben Weaver, for letting Kida visit us. We’ve been reading about bugs all week & focusing on texture words. She had just shed her exoskeleton so we even got to feel her soft legs. Initially, some of us were scared, but after careful observation we decided she was cute!

When one friend fills up their Super Improver chart we ALL celebrate! We are so proud of her hard work!

There’s so much to feel thankful for on our kindergarten classroom! One of the thing’s I’m thankful for this year is getting to spend time with these silly turkeys each and every day! 🦃
