* Harvest Celebration

A Colorful Halloween

Halloween is in the fall,

When summer colors fade.

But there are colors everywhere,

In the Halloween parade.

It’s fun to dress on Halloween,

In costumes bold and bright.

An old brown owl, a big black cat,

Or a little ghost in white.

Pumpkins are so fat and round..

A bright orange color, too.

Scoop them out and carve a face.

So they can grin at you.

So have a colorful Halloween

And make October bright.

With all the colors of Halloween: Black, orange, brown and white. ***

We have been learning about COLOR... making books about color, mixing colors, painting, and reading about color! Colors are everywhere!

It has been said that "You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parent(s) every time around - and why his parent(s) will always wave back. ~Original Author: William D.

Thank you to our good parents who help make our class celebrations so much... FUN!

A pirate's life is a wonderful life. ***from "Peter Pan"

Teacher: Read To Me

Read to me riddles and

read to me rhymes,

Read to me stories of magical times.

Read to me tales about castles and kings.

Read to me stories of fabulous things.

Read to me pirates and read to me knights,

Read to me dragons and dragon-book fights.

Read to me spaceships and cowboys and then, When you are finished -- please read them again.

A teacher's constant task is to take a roomful of live wires and see to it that they're grounded!

* Follow the Rules ... REWARD Lunch On the Lawn

Yeah! We earned a special reward for our good behavior. We have been working on following all of the class and school rules. Following the rules helps us learn, and helps our teacher teach.

When our teacher noticed we all were following the class rules, we would earn a letter, building the phrase: LUNCH ON THE LAWN. When we earned all the letters we were so excited! We felt pride in our efforts.

















Our class rules are:
1. Listen to teacher the 1st time.
2. Share and take turns.
3. Use appropriate voice levels.
4. Control our whole self.
5. Take care of class materials.
6. Be in the right place at the right time.

When we follow the class rules we keep our kindergarten power!

When we follow the class rules we are making learning choices that will help us be the best kindergarten kids we can be.

We feel good when we keep our kindergarten power. To learn about Kindergarten Power Teaching click here and here.

* Mad Scientists

It's Red Ribbon Week!
What is Red Ribbon Week?

It's a special week when we focus on making choices to keep us safe and healthy. We make lots choices every single day.

These friends came to our school to help our Panther teach us about making choices. They taught us about how taking bad things into our body will make us unhealthy. They taught us how to make choices when making a choice is hard.

We choose to be healthy for all of our life!

* Panther Paw Award

Our school has a special award that is given to a student who does something that is spectacular!

Of course our teacher says that every one of us is awesome, and we all do spectacular things.

But, sometimes, one of us will be what our teacher calls a "SUPER STUDENT!" That's when she reports our actions to the Principal and he presents us with a special award. And... he calls our parent(s). And... they come! And... the Principal tells the whole school about the good thing we did.

And... it feels very cool! We are all working at earning a Panther Paw Award.

Our teacher says we can't ask for the award. It has to come as a surprise, when we don't even realize our "SUPER-NESS!"

That is cool.
Very cool.

* PAINT !

Our teacher has a favorite saying. It is, "Life is one big canvas... Throw on all the color you can!"

We are learning about paint and colors. Right now we are experimenting with color. We learn to keep our colors bright and clean we should rinse our brush before we dip it into another color. We like clean bright colors.

We learn to take care of the paints so that when a friend uses the paint it will be clean and bright.

We ask ourselves this question... What would happen if all the colors went away?" Our teacher says if there were no colors there would be no kindergarten... because kindergarten is all about COLOR!

* October Fire Safety

Sparky the Fire Dog and some Volunteer Firemen and Women came to teach us about Fire Safety! We each went inside the firetruck. We went in a special "smoke house" that shows us what it might feel like if we were in real smoke. We learned many rules about smoke and fire that can keep us safe!
