This week...

   We have had a fantastic week.  Thank you for my wonderful birthday party and gifts!

   

   We had fun experiencing a potlatch. We ate food, sang songs and danced, as well as sharing our necklaces and signing  the Kindergarten and First Grade Peace Treaty. The best part was going inside the tipi-so cool!

Another great day in K!

In the garden

   Bright and early, in the chilly air, both Kindergarten classes worked in the garden.  We harvested lettuce, bok choy and beets.  We continued preparing the beds by adding soil and making sure it was level.  Last, we smelled cloves of garlic and each child planted a clove.  The garlic will be ready next Spring.

   Stay tuned....

Take Me to the Zoo

    Kindergarten had tons of fun visiting the zoo.

    

    We saw several cool animals, including a wallaby, jaguars and two macaws.  

    Thanks to the parents who drove and chaperoned!

The first week of November

   K2 started out the week in the garden. We learned about what happens to the soil if it doesn't have a "blanket" or cover crop. 

   

    We also prepared several plots of land.

   The kids were given some wheat seeds.  These are the seeds that will be planted as a cover crop.

   Ms. Lisa soaked the wheat seeds and we tasted them!

   This week, we also celebrated 50s Day because we've been to school for 50 days.  We talked about the cars, music, clothes and phones of the 50s.  Of course, we tasted Coke floats and root beer floats!  

    Once again, Kindergarten rocks!

Halloween Fun

    K2 had so much fun celebrating Halloween!  Thanks to the awesome parents who helped!

     Several of the kiddos have presented their animal reports. I am so proud of them!

     Please remember...Mon, Nov 11 is Trailwise/Gardening. Kids can wear a St.Peter's t shirt and jeans.  Friday, Nov 15 kids can wear their favorite sports team t shirt and hat.  

      Take care!
