Foster Woods/Penguins

We had some wonderful weather for our trip to Foster Woods. We played a couple games and went on a hike.  We even got to go off trail, which was an amazing adventure :)

Listening to Pam give directions.

 Waiting patiently...

 On our hike looking for footprints, droppings, homes or bones.

Getting ready to play our games.  We were butterflies trying to migrate to Mexico where it is warmer.  We had some obstacles though, like storms and a child with a net.

When we got back we were greeted with some nice, warm hot chocolate and marshmallows.

Penguin Day

To conclude our penguin day on Friday, we all dressed like penguins, wore a penguin headband and waddled around the school. 

We did a math activity in which we had 12 goldfish, rolled 2 dice and counted to see if we could evenly split it between to friends.

To top off our day, we enjoy a special treat from Drake's mom, Amber.

Here we are practicing using chopsticks in Chinese.  They did really well with it!

Week of December 22nd

Here are a few pictures from our last week of school before break.

I am sure some of you heard about our Elf friend, Chippie.  He brought each of us some Hershey Kisses, and he ate some himself :)

 While learning about Hanakuh we played the dreidel game.

Finally the big day was here ~ our Christmas party!!!!

Breaking the pinata!

Week of December 12

Another fun week in kindergarten has passed.  We had lots of new fun centers this week including the one below.  Jason is rolling 2 dice and either adding or subtracting gumdrops from the gingerbread man.

Jacob and Dylan are making a Christmas tree with an ice cream come, frosting and lots of messy sprinkles.

A fun math activity where we sorted and graphed m and m's.  (eating some along the way of course)

In preparation for our party, we are making our own Pinata to break next Thursday.  

Have a great weekend!  We are really needing glue sticks, so if you could bring some that would be great!
