Cookies!

For a treat today Ms. Michelle let each of the kids have a graduation cookie after lunch. (Right before nap). The kids were all tired during the morning so I didn't think it would affect them much. Apparently I was wrong!! I admit I lost control of my classroom for 10 minutes. I thought I was taking a video so I could upload it and show the affects of sugar to 12 kids but I was so busy trying to stop them from giving piggy back rides, jumping on each other and screaming I forgot to switch the iPad to video instead of photo. So I decided to still share the photos with you all. They are blurry and all over the place but that is exactly how I could describe the 10 minute sugar rush!! I thought nap was going to be a breeze today getting them all to lay down in their pajamas and nap but it has been 40 minutes now and they are still messing around and twitching when I turn my back. So never again will we be eating a treat before nap, no matter how tired they are! :) it was a great lesson for me and a great memory!!!

Kindergarten check-ups

Today I can across these for kids pretending they were at the Doctors and getting their kindergarten check ups. They also were getting their eyes and ears checked. :) they are already thinking ahead and ready to go!! They are so creative and smart. I will miss then so much. I never know when I will learn during the day from them. 

Graduation week

This week we have been preparing for Graduation. We made graduation caps and other memorable art projects. 

Graduating Class of 2014

Last night we celebrated the Graduating Class of 2014- Happy Hippos!!! It is bitter sweet for me. I am excited for them to go to Kindergarten in here fall but sad because I am going to miss each and every one of them. They all make a part of my day so great!!

Forever Green Nursery

We went on a field trip yesterday to Forever Green Nursery in North Liberty. They gave us a tour of the greenhouse and let us see all different kind of flowers they grow. Then they showed us some large pretty fish that they have year around and two large moths. Each child got to plant a flower with the manager and take it home. 

Happy Birthday Emma and Ava!!!!

T-Rex

This week the kids have been chipping away at a rock to find the fossils of a T-Rex. Today we found the last piece and put together our dinosaur skeleton. We enjoyed our week of learning about the different kinds of dinosaurs. We also learned about the scientist theory of why they are extinct and what happened to them.
