May Day!

3-D Fun!
Knee-deep in their study of solid shapes, Kindergarteners were so excited to construct some of their own! Students were given sheets with guided lines and directions to cut, fold, and tape together their very own cubes, cones, pyramids, and cylinders! Kindergarteners were encouraged to decorate each shape to look like something in the real world that takes the same form. We were so impressed at the tenacity and excitement of Kindergarteners as they each cut and pieced together their own creations, and then attached them to yarn to create some 3-D shape mobiles for our classroom!

Puppet Practice
Kindergarteners have brought their puppetry skills to life as we prepare for our upcoming How To Be A Kindergartener puppet show for the incoming Kindergarten class. Students have been rehearsing daily to memorize lines, master their blocking, use their best projection, while also entertaining their audience. We are so proud of all of the hard work and pride that they have put into their work.

The Mouse and the Motorcycle
This week, students couldn’t wait to finish up our latest Read Aloud, The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary. Students have been listening on the edge of their seats as Ralph, a sweet mouse living in a small motel, gets his paws on a toy motorcycle. Avoiding dogs, cleaners, and guests, Ralph gets himself (and his new friend Keith) into a lot of trouble. Students loved rooting for Ralph as he became quite a hero!
