We had such a fantastic surprise at the end of the day, during our silent reading time. We got to go over to the church park and read to second grade. Each class brought their reading books over and read to a student in the opposite grade. Students were full of smiles and excitement while reading. They leaned up against tree trunks, laid on the grass, and sat on park benches as they shared their stories. We have been waiting for this sunshine all school year long and finally got a chance to soak up the sun.
We will continue to use this park as a great opportunity to learn outside during the hot days. There is plenty of shade but please do remember to send your child with sunscreen on to school for even daily play at recess. Look below to see some fun photos of our first visit to the park.
Last year in Kindergarten, my class had baby chicks in their classroom. They got to watch them grow, play, and nurture them until they were too big to keep in class. This year we went down to the Kindergarten classroom to see the baby chicks. We had so much fun watching them play around on the mat and holding them. Leilani and Gregorio were super excited because they were not in Mrs. HP's Kindergarten class last year. Alex has experience with baby chickens because he has some at home. We taught some of the students how to hold them and make them feel safe. The chickens would come right over to him when he called him. It was very cute to see the students being so gentle with them. Below are some fun photos from today.
