Last Day of School

It's hard to believe that today was our last day of kindergarten!!  Here's a few last day class photos...

This afternoon we saw our 6th grade buddies one more time before they graduate and head to the middle school next year!

We ended the day by reading "Miss Bindergarten Celebrates the Last Day of Kindergarten," sharing memories of the school year, and a group hug!  What a great year it has been!!

End of Year Celebration

Yesterday we celebrated all that we have accomplished in kindergarten this year.  Each student got to walk the red carpet to receive a special award and their kindergarten diploma.

We also celebrated our accomplishments with ice cream sundaes!

Yay for ice cream and a great year in kindergarten!!!

Bell Museum Field Trip

On Friday we went on a field trip to the Bell Museum.  Here we are leaving school & on the bus....so excited!!

Arriving at the Bell Museum...

Hearing directions with the rest of the kindergartners...

During our visit students looked at different displays and learned lots about the animals by listening to our guide...

We also had a chance to check out the Touch & See Room...

6th Grade Buddies

We've had a chance to spend time with our 6th grade buddies the last two days!  Yesterday our buddies showed us some learning games on the Chrome books in their classroom.

Today our buddies came down to our classroom to play board games with us.  It was very fun!

Mo Willems Author Study

This week we've been learning all about my favorite children's author -- Mo Willems.  We started on Monday by reading a biography all about Mo Willems.

On Tuesday we read several of Mo Willems' Pigeon books...

Then students made their own Pigeon hats...

After reading both Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late students made their own pages of what the Pigeon shouldn't be able to do!

Today we read the newest Elephant & Piggie book (it was just released yesterday)!!

Then students read Elephant & Piggie books with partners...

Lastly students created their own Elephant & Piggie cartoons.  Check out a few of them below...
