June 11th
On Wednesday and Friday the Kindergarten students got to go swimming!
We did manage to miss most of the rain on Wednesday, but we were not
so lucky on Friday. The kids did not mind though since they were wet
anyway! Thank you to all the moms and dads who have come out to
help out at the pool. It is greatly appreciated!
Today we were introduced to subtraction in Math class.Ask your child to
share the number story with you for the ant math page they brought home
in their agenda today. We learnt some new words:minus or take away
(the ants were taken away when they got eaten by the birds or the frog)
and we reviewed the word equal.The children were so excited many of them
created their own subtraction stories! Good work Kinders!

Circle Square Ranch
The weatherman was smiling down on us today! We had a great
day with no rain until the bus ride home. The students had a
great time at Circle Square. First they got to ride horses
all by themselves. Then we had a wiener roast for lunch with
baked beans, potatoes and rice krispie cake and watermelon for
dessert. It was Yummy! Then we were off to the beach where
we floated on tubes and played along the shore. The hayride took us through
many interesting trails and we even got to see the bones from
the skeleton of a horse. The rock wall was our last stop and it
was awesome. Kindergarten are a real group of energetic rock climbers.
The rain started just as we were leaving the rock wall and it
sure made everyone head to the bus in a hurry.
Thank you to all the chaperones who came along with us. You
helped to make this a safe and fun filled day!
Also thanks to the Circle Square Ranch staff!
Ms Odland was took the pics and so we will have to wait until
she sends some to include in my post.
Remember: Swimming on Wednesday; pack your suit and a towel!

Our Field Trip to the Greenhouse-June 3, 2010
Today we took a trip to the greenhouse. We planted some plants and the pots even had little high heels for the ladies or shoes for the men. We then had a picnic lunch where we ate our lunch on blankets in amongst the flowers. We made a flower out of seeds that can be planted and will grow in our gardens at home. We used all of our senses to tour the greenhouse today; sight, sound, touch and smell. We even used our sense of taste. Yes we ate the leaves of a plant....some LETTUCE and SPINACH of course.
We got to see red worms as they made compost from food scraps. We also saw some different bugs and talked about how some bugs help plants to grow. We learnt about the different parts of the plant and what each plant part does.
We were very lucky for Mrs. Lutz to share the pansy story that was passed down from her grandmother. Overall we had a very fun-filled day!!!
Thanks to Mrs. Lutz and everyone else who participated.

Hurray for June!
June 1st
Thank you to all the parents
who filled out and returned the
forms with your child today. We
are hoping the weatherman is wrong
and it does not rain on Thursday but
either way we will still have a great
day at the Greenhouse.
We painted bees and we will add
more body parts to it next day as we
continue to learn about insects. Ask
your child if they recall the number
of legs they need to put on their bee.
Today we learned the action and sound
for Ww and reviewed all the letter sounds.
Your child completed a math page that was
sent home today. Ask them to tell you the
number stories that go with the pictures.
The students did very well at this beginning
addition task :)
I will publish another post following the
greenhouse tour on Thursday!
