Estimation Station Prep

The Kindergarten Estimation Station starts tomorrow. Volunteer moms came and decorated the display case with the jars and boxes for guess tickets. Kinder teachers and student teachers counted the donated goodies earlier this week.

We hope to raise enough money to pay for charter buses needed for our Sea World Trip.

Estimation Station

We are planning to go to Sea World this spring, but need to raise funds for the charter buses. Kindergarten will be having an Estimation Station the February 7th-13th with the winners of the prizes announced on February 14th.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Students in all Kindergarten classes learned about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Books, videos and class discussions were done. Emphasis on being a leader of change for peace was given. Students used listening skills to draw pictures of him.

Penguins

Students are learning about penguins. We use the subject of penguins to study text features which are different in expository text when compared to fiction. We begin with accessing their knowledge with a KWL chart which grows with us as we learn new fun facts.

All classes have enjoyed watching the live webcams from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium in California.

Field Trip

Today we went on a Field Trip to the New Braunfels Children's Museum. We used our 5 senses to explore the activities. Our teachers also had a great time.
