Lions and Lambs

Hello Families,
     We have a short week of school coming up with the March 7th Early Release Day and no school on March 8th.  With March upon us, we will be be weather watchers as part of our daily calendar.  We talked about the old saying, "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb" and what that means.  Our calendar helper for the day will be the weather watcher and tell us if it is a Lion weather day or a Lamb weather day.  We will count and graph our results and practice our comparison language as we go through the month.
     The trip to Middlebury College to see the Ragamala Dance Company was exciting!  The musicians from India were amazing and there was so much to see and hear during the performance.  The Kindergartners were able to discuss what they liked the most, some expressing it was hard to sit for the 45 minutes, but everyone had positive reflections, as well.  One of the reasons I love teaching Kindergarten is having opportunities to experience with them something new that the students have never experienced before. 
     Our last day of bridge building with Mr. Flint will be this week, along with our first all school Morning Meeting assembly on Monday and Wacky Wednesday.  I have included some pictures from our 100th day of school celebration and our bridge building.  You will see the children stacking 100 cups, making the 100th day snack mix, predicting and observing what 100 drops of water looks like, dancing and counting to 100, building bridges in Mr. Flint's room and experimenting with bridge building in the classroom.  Enjoy the week!
