Kindergarten News!

We wrapped up our lessons on 
plants and seeds.

Now we are learning about insects.

The main things we learned are:
1. Insects have an exoskeleton.
2. Insects have six legs.
3. Insects have three main body parts...
head, thorax, and abdomen.
4. Some insects go through a metamorphosis.

Insects we weren't sure of.                                             Insects we could name!

We read two books with a bee as the main character. Then we discussed good BEEhaviors...be nice, be kind, be respectful, etc.,.. Then we made a bee!







Kaycee can do "Be careful."  :) She broke her arm while she was out for recess on Thursday.
This was suppose to be my sad face? LOL

Angie Hansel (Charlee's mom) came in and shared about her recent trip to Panama! 

Here are some things we learned... 

-where Panama is on the globe.

-the explorer Balboa found the Pacific ocean on the other side of Panama.

-the Embera tribe look a lot like the indigenous people who would have lived there when Balboa came from Spain.

-the money looks just like ours except it has pictures of Balboa on it.

-the sand on the beaches is super white and SOFT.

Our original Go The Distance walk got rained out, but we decided to do it the next day! 
We walked for ten minutes after recess!

Our leaders treated teachers to some wonderful things on Thursday!

They took our lunchroom duty AND we had goodies 

to enjoy! How nice!

Marty Luhring stopped by and delivered the flowers to us! Your kindergartner brought one home for their mom for Mothers' Day! We appreciate Luhring Nursery's generosity!



We went to the first grade to see their Famous American play! They were awesome!


FYI again...
No Track and Field Day- A change for the end of the year:  Instead of having the school wide track meet we will be starting a new celebration/tradition for the students at the elementary. This will be an "in school" activity, so it will not be open to the public.  :) 

We painted beautiful flowers on a 
watercolor wash!


In Music, we played Bop-It! 
You REALLY have to listen and 
follow the directions!!


Practicing our School Spirit song!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha !!

Have a fantastic weekend!!
Happy Mother's Day!!
