Mom's To Lunch

We had a great week of Mom's to Lunch! 

Next up is Aunt's to Lunch during the week of January 11th!

Who Will Help Me Make The Bread?

This week we learned about The Little Red Hen. We read several different versions on the books and the kids loved to compare them all! Some had different animals, made different things (bread, cake, pizza) and some just used different words. On Thursday we made bread! Everyone got to help make it, so everyone got to share it with me!

We finished making the Little Red Hen on Wednesday. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product, but you will see it when they are sent home.

Thursday was our Pizza Party for selling the most pizzas for the Parent Teacher Club fundraiser! 

To go along with our bread, we made butter, too! We put cream in a jar with marbles and took turns shaking it until we made butter. The kids sure were glad that they worked as a team because they would have been exhausted by the end!

The kids thought the bread was great! We did a great job!

Veterans Day

Wednesday was the Veterans Day Program. 

We were talking about some of the different jobs that people have in the service, so I asked each one of them what their job was. (I had to have them put it in Kindergarten terms for us and I hope I'm remembering these right!) Stevie's dad worked on fixing and blowing up things, William's dad worked on computers, Ezmae's dad was in combat and Brylie's dad worked on computers also. Thank you all for your service and the kids were so proud to have you come!

Farms

This week we learned about farms! We had a great time reading books, doing projects and going on a field trip. 

I asked the kids what their favorite part of the field trip was. And this is what they came up with!

Charlie- the robot arm

Jaelyn- seeing the cows

Ava- seeing the cow food

Chelsey- the baby calf

Carmen- seeing the robots

Colton- the powder (milk replacer for the calves)

Ezmae- the cows getting milked

Bella- the medicine for the cows

William- the medicine giver (the tool to put the medicine in their mouths)

Taylor- the calf

Luis- the robot

Luna- the white things (silage bags)

Bently- the bulldozer and tractors

Neolani- the cow food

Hayden- seeing Cadence

Nathan- seeing the baby calf

Brylie- the baby calf

Riley- the cows being milked

On Thursday we wrote what we would be doing all day if we were a farmer. There were some great answers! (Cleaning cow poop, teaching the horses, driving tractors...) On Friday we cut out some overalls and made them into a farmer. Then we added our sentences to the bottom and hung them in the hall.

We "Planted A Pattern" with beans on Friday. First we made a scarecrow to put in the field and then we made a pattern with 3 different kinds of beans. 

Veterans Day Program

The Veterans Day Program will be Wednesday, November 11th. It will begin at 10:15 in the IGEMS gymnasium. All are welcome to attend!
