Today we had a great time celebrating Halloween! We had ladybugs, astronauts, super-heroes, hunters and trains! We had a great morning showing off our costumes to our
The Bikes are Out! What a beautiful day we had yesterday! Aside from nap time, we spent the entire day outside. The highlight of the day was riding the bikes around our path. We saw smiles on everyone's face as they zoomed around and around our path. There was a huge sense of accomplishment for each of the students as they pedaled the tricycles or pushed the balance bikes up the "hill" and around the loop. Since the gravel part of our path has been taken over by grass and moss, that side of the path is quite a challenge.

Back in February, every student was able to choose a new book to bring home. A special guest reader (Olivia K's big sister) came in and read to the class onetime. Wow! It's Mrs. Waterman! It's always exciting when the kindergarten teacher visits our classroom to read to us.
