Dentist Visit

Here are some photos from our visit to the Dentist Office. We finally had nice weather to walk there!

 Here we are!

 Checking out the x-ray room!

 This is where they clean the instruments they use.

 Looking at retainers!

 Feeling the power brush they use to clean your teeth!

One last group photo!

V is for....Vegetables!

Today for snack, we taste tested 4 different vegetables for V week. We tried red peppers, pea pods, carrots and cauliflower. Everyone had to try a little (we also offered ranch dressing for dipping) and could either not finish it or eat it all up. The most popular? Red Peppers, then Carrots, then Cauliflower and last with 1 vote was pea pods. They then got to have seconds, thirds and fourths...a pretty delicious snack!

Arts and Crafts

We have been busy doing some spring arts and crafts in our classroom. We discussed that one sign of spring is when we see robins return. So, we made robins with worms sticking out of their beaks! Funny!

 We also made some very impressive glue resist eggs. They are hanging outside our classroom and look amazing! Check them out when you are at school! Just as a note...I found this activity on an art blog from an art teacher who did this with 7th graders. Pretty impressive that kindergarten students could do it, too!

Flashlight Fridays

Every Friday during rest time, we have Flashlight Friday. The students are allowed to take books, their flashlight and read in the dark. We are running into some problems...a lot of flashlights have stopped working. When this happens, students are supposed to bring them home and bring in a new one. I have some on hand for extra but they are getting snapped up pretty quickly. Please ask your child if s/he has a flashlight that works. If not, we would appreciate it if you could send in another one. Thank you!
