Space Week

Last week was space week! Space week is such a fun week to teach, but it also is a crazy week! And it didn't help that it was so cold and we had a lot of indoor recess! 

We did a lot of cool things this week. We used watercolors to paint planets, star stickers to create our own constellations, watched some amazing videos and read a lot of books.

After lunch on Friday, NASA (Mrs, Lenzendorf) buzzed our room and cleared us for take off! We sat on our chairs and watch a video of a space shuttle blasting off!

After we landed in space, we walked down to the "Space Station" in room 100 and had a great day doing centers with the whole Kindergarten!

We made moon pictures, read books and colored pictures, played a moon game with scooters, blasted off rockets, made constellations out of marshmallows and toothpicks, and made space food (pudding)!

You can tell by Drake's head that it must have been a great time! He was sweating in his space helmet by the end!

New sight words: have, for

4th Annual Iowa-Grant Fine Arts Night

The 4th Annual Iowa-Grant Fine Arts Night will be Tuesday, March 10 at the High School beginning at 5:30 pm.  Every kindergarten through sixth grade art student will have at least one piece of art on display.  There will also be forensics performances, high school artwork, and band & choir performances by the high school students.

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. QU!

Friday was the wedding of Mr. Q and Ms. U! We walked down to room 100 as pairs singing "qu qu qu qu...".

(We have one extra boy in our class, so I got to be Tyler's partner! I asked the boys if anyone would like to be my partner and the hands shot up! Tyler was the fastest though!)

Mrs. Dums read the vows and married the happy couple.

After the wedding we had cake (actually cookie bars), and then had a dance. It was so much fun!

After lunch we opened or valentines. I LOVED this part! The kids were being so loud because they were so excited about their valentines. All I heard was "Wow, this is so cool!" Thanks ________, this is the best valentine!"...  It made my day. 

Our new site words are have, for.

Remember to send in your permission slip and money for the field trip. We are so excited about it next week!
