It’s amazing what children will think of when you give them some die cuts, paper bags, and markers. These treat bags held lots and lots of shared treasures. Thanks everyone; you made our party just awesome!

When we weren’t snacking or making our goodie bags with Mrs. Boutilier, we were working on some math activities. Today we did Inventory Bags, Build It, and math workbook pages. We even had a fire drill and Grade 5 Reading Buddies! Now that is a really Fun Friday!

We also enjoyed this site this week. It is a video from Oprah with very lively audience partition to go along with it. It was posted on Facebook so you may need to login yourself or through a friend.

We love to go out for recess and the weather has been splendid! Many children head for the swings as soon as they arrive on the playground. It reminds me of a poem we will illustrate come springtime by R L Stevenson, The Swing.

The Swing

How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!

Up in the air
and over the wall
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside-

Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown-
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!

The following video was taken after these girls asked me to make a movie of them. They had been exploring the shells and sorting them in a number of different ways. Since language skills are a big focus in kindergarten, I am always happy to put their skills to work by formulating their thoughts and ideas into a story.

I have changed the posting date/time on it so it could go out to subscribers once again. Blogging presents new challenges all the time and this one was a doozy. I learned how to compress the pictures in a file before converting to pdf. In the past, my posts have converted with far greater ease but this one had 6 pages of graphics and that was too much for the usual methods.  To be on the safe side, I recommend that you update your own Adobe Reader and browsers. A couple of the links within the newsletter are no longer operational but the text or screen captures may provide the web addresses if you want to know more.
