Kindergarten teachers will be working at McDonald's tonight from 4-7!!!!!  Come see Mrs. Moss and Mrs. Shepard serve up some fries and shakes and support Meadowlark.  Come visit McDonald's tonight at the corner of Robin Hood Rd. and Meadowlark.

Can't wait to see you there!

This week Meadowlark Elementary School is collecting money for the aid being sent to Haiti.  We have talked about the earthquake in our classroom and the kids understand that there are little boys and girls who need their help. 

 

Please have your child bring in any loose change or monies for our classroom collection.

 

Thanks and have a great week!

The Mitten

We have read three versions of The Mitten this week.  We also decorated our own mittens and had to write descriptive sentences so our friends could guess who belonged to each mitten.  We measured our mittens and much, much more.  Watch the video for a small peek at the fun we had this week!

We started our CRYSTAL GARDEN today in the classroom.  Over the next few days we will be observing it, documenting what we observe, and taking pictures.  The students were so excited about doing a science experiment that at the Pla-doh station this afternoon, the two kids there said they were doing an experiment with Pla-doh. 

Check back for photos of our beautiful garden.

Next week:  Math/Science Fair Class Project!

It's Winter and we are studying all about The Mitten and the letter 'I'.  We are learning that short 'i' says /i/ as in Winter and igloo and that long 'i' says /I/ as in ice cream.  Ice cream is in our future for later in the week!

Happy New Year!

Can't wait to see you all on
