Are you wondering why?

Are you wondering why I haven't posted any pictures? Well, my phone won't upload! I don't know why and I'm all out of answers. I've googled it and can't figure it out even after following directions. If I have any techy parents I would appreciate some help.


Kindergarten Promotion Ceremony is scheduled for June 1st at 8:45 am. Please come see your child perform and support them.

They must wear their uniform and please clean sneakers or dress shoes.

Please let me know if there are any questions.  See you then!

Working away!!

 Samantha reading a book to the class. They are so proud that they can read that they want to share their new skill with everyone.

 Proud of Carolina. She's eating!!! She's had a hard time figuring out American food. All my cutie Cubans are not used to American food and they need their fuel to learn. One down! A few more to go! I guess all kids are picky eaters no matter where they come from.

A special mother's day gift is coming your way! They're excited to finish it and give it to you!!

Today we took a road trip!

 We traveled in our own RV today. Where did we go? We traveled to places we've learned about in the good ole USA!! The kids know where these locations are and they know some facts about them. Through the stories we have read they even know how to pack! I encourage all of you to plan a road trip, not just Disney, but to all the places we've learned about. Believe me, they make the best memories and are worth every penny spent.

       First, we went to the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. They know that there is a restaurant at the top and they get there by taking a very fast elevator. The restaurant spins slowly so you appreciate the view.

 Next, we went to the White House in Washington, DC. They know that if the flag is visible at the top then it is a sign that the President is home. You can't go up to the door and knock because you must have special tickets to enter.

 Next, we traveled to New York city to visit the Statue of Liberty located in New York city! They know that this statue  was a gift of friendship from France. You must also buy tickets online to go inside the statue.

 Again in Washington DC we traveled to the Washington Monument. It looks like the number 1. It is a tribute to our first president, George Washington.

 Last, we got to go to the Grand Canyon. We visited the South Rim in Arizona. This is an amazing sight and I highly recommend a trip there. It is spectacular!! We had a great time learning all these facts and traveling in our (pretend) RV.

 While the rest of the school is still testing we are confined to our classroom so we decided to play a little inside. Mrs. Castro's class joined us.

We are exhausted today! Time to go home! Sorry your kids are a little dusty from our long trip. ;)

A day in the Life

 I have these cool rocks that were from my niece, she used to collect them and left them behind. They are like treasure to my kids! I put them out for kids that finish their assignments and they have asked for the magnifying glasses and are observing and collecting data. Some of them even started a book about rocks, moon rocks. Such imagination! I love when they mix genres! (We've also been talking about gravity and planets)

 This Saturday my neighborhood will be volunteering to make the Ludlam trail usable and beautiful. Join us if you can!

 Shared Reading.

 Glittery putty and pretending. So much fun!

Enjoying Ice Cream Wednesday

 Testing is over! Time to learn for fun.

Pretty good Thursday!

 The end of the habitat projects.

 These fasteners used to be called brads. I'm old.

 Making a clock to practice our o'clocks and thirty's.

 Our school is on testing lock-down. NO movement in the building. So Maximo is helping is take out our heebies.

 Found a freeze song that includes a time component it's called freeze and tell me the time, or something like that.

Valentina drew this for me. I'm the tall skinny blond. Looks just like me! LOL I'm going to miss seeing that face next year, but I'm so excited for the opportunity she has been given. Good luck Valentina! Show them what a bright star you are!!
