Kindergarten Cars

A few weeks ago during our motion and movement unit we had our first ever Kindergarten Car Derby! They had a really fun time racing their cars down the ramp.  We learned a lot about which cars did well and why. We also thought about ways we could alter our cars to do better in the future.  Here are some highlights from that fun event. A special thanks to all the parents for supporting their child and helping them with their car at home.  They were fantastic!

Thanksgiving Week Fun

The two days before our thanksgiving break were full of fun and learning.  We talked about our own family traditions during Thanksgiving and wrote about what we were thankful for.  We also created crock pot pumpkin bread and homemade cinnamon sugar butter.  They had so much fun measuring and cooking.  I am so thankful to have such a fabulous class this year.  Here is the link to the crock pot pumpkin bread if you would like to make it at home! http://wannabite.com/crockpot-pumpkin-bread/

It turned out just perfect!
