End of February Updates

We hope everyone enjoyed the extended weekend!

Just a few things to note:

1. If you are ever looking for fun educational websites

to do with your kids here are two that we like;

PBSkids and Starfall.

2. If anybody has baking items to add to our classroom

basket please send them in with your child.

3. We are more then half way through the year and

finally ran out of glue sticks. Could you please send

some in with your child if you get a chance?

4. Thank you again Melissa (Devin's Mom) for

sending in play dough! As play dough is one of our

favorite centers we are ready for more play dough!

We'd love to have some sent in if you've got the

opportunity to help us out.

Our Star Student of this week is Tobin!

Here is Emily displaying our work on Peter Rabbit

and sequencing. All of the kids should have one of these,

have them explain the sequence of events in Peter Rabbit.

One of our future engineers!!

Kindergarten always gets compliments on how

quiet we are in the hallway. "Hips and lips."

Here is our shared writing this month. We wrote

a poem about "Be(e) Mine" bees. "Bee Bee don't you see? I like

you and you like me!" Again we used as many of our

word wall words as we could!

When the kids come in in the morning there is

always a message on the board. On this particular day

the kids decided they wanted to identify the words that

were not on the word wall by circling them. It cracked me

up because they thought it was the funniest thing! I think

they felt like they were totally breaking the rules. We're

all so silly!

Valentine's Day Party

Our Bees were very busy buzzing around the

classroom on Valentine's Day. The kids were

stuffed full of all the yummy Valentine goodies

we all remember as kids. The party was a success!

Thank you Mommies; Amy (Emily's Mom) and

Janae (Asher's Mom) for joining us!

Happy Valentine's Day! Mrs. Pederson and I

would like to thank you for the thoughtful cards

and goodies. You are too good to us and we

appreciate it greatly!

We're up and running!

Welcome to Mrs. Pederson/Yasenak's Kindergarten Blog!

We are going to try and keep this updated with

what's going on in the life of your "Busy Bees" as well

as information you need to know. We're going to use

the Blog like a newsletter. So, lets get started!Here's our class, most of us. Tobin is missing,

but we'll get a class photo with him next week!

You'll also notice, kind of a bigger kid. That's

Rebecca our high school "field study" student.

We love having her in our room everyday, she helps

all of us out.

One of our favorite centers is playdough, we often

practice making our letters or numbers! Thanks

to Devin's mom for sending new stuff in, we

really needed it!

This center is for students who want to "play"

school and pracitce curriculum they are learning

in the classroom. We often see kids writing new

learned words or like with these two, practicing

math facts.

Floor puzzles are a great opportunity to think about

how thing fit together. Many of the kids like the

challenge of putting them together. They're always

super proud once they completed a puzzle.

This is our writing station, it's one of the most popular

stations in the classroom. It's fun to see what the kids

are interested in creating. We do have to remind them

that it's the "writing center" not just a place to create

abstract art!

This center speaks for itself, it's funny to watch kids

"play" house. Or in recent cases, play doggy and kitties.

Mrs. Pederson and I are thinking "house" might be a

thing in the past for this crew!

Please check in every few days for updates to our Blog!
