Taking it to the end of the year!!

 Making our sea animals after reading some non-fiction. Kindergarteners love facts.

 Our facts sheets are very important to us. We know a lot.

 Getting ready for graduation on stage. Some fifth graders helped us with the scenery. They drew the buildings to make our New York City skyline, but we cut them out and painted the windows yellow to make it look like the lights were on in the building.We didn't even make a mess with the paint. We're growing up!

 We were at the media center, some of the kids had to finish their iready assessments so the fourth graders read to us. It was a wonderful time for both age groups.

 Hula fun during recess.

 Our class of 2015! A few absent.

 Making our Orcas.

Thank you parents for a wonderful year. Your children are very special to me. They will always be my kids too.

A dream is a wish a heart makes....Cinderella

 These are the dreams of my little ones. I don't doubt for one minute that they will reach their goals and exceed them too. The question was "what do you want to be when you grow up?" The answers make me smile.

Earth Day Activities and preparing for our mother's day!

 We made our Earth Day buddies and learned about recycling, reusing and reducing. We read Michael Recycle and learned a new song.

 My kids are so sweet and adorable.

 They discover when we are outside. Everything is a wonder.

 Part of being an author of a book is reading many stories. As we prepare to write our Mother's Day books we practice thinking about all the wonderful things that our moms do for us.

 Our mommie's will love their books that the kids made.

 Can we go outside already?

 Friday is for reading one-on-one. Each student picks a book and I get to read the story to them personally. Sometimes they like a story to be read to them more than one Friday. It's not about teaching them to read, but making them lifelong readers.

They love selfies!
