Galatas Kindergarten was recently blessed with brand new outdoor centers! We headed outside on Friday to enjoy the gorgeous weather and our new equipment!
The sand center is very popular!
The boys loved playing basketball!!
I know all of kindergarten will enjoy these new centers! We sure did!
By the way, have I mentioned how much I love my class…..
I didn’t know I was a star, let alone a super star!!
Sam was our Puppy of The Week this week! If you came into our class, you would never know he just joined K2! He has fit right in!
Sam had no problem reading his whole information sheet and telling us all about each of his pictures!
Sam said his favorite thing from his Sharing Bag were his marbles! 
Thanks, Sam, for being such a great part of K2! We are so glad you are here!
Our puppy this week was Rixt!
She has only been in our class since the beginning of January, but fits right into K2!
Rixt wrote and read her whole information sheet to the class! I was so proud of her! She did a wonderful job telling us all about her and her family and showing us her pictures!
Rixt brought in a squirrel from home. It was a big hit with everyone because it really moved and jumped!
Rixt wanted her new friends in kindergarten to know that “K2 is the best!”
Rixt, we are so happy you have joined our class! You did a fabulous job for us this week!
This past week, we practiced our math skills using Sweethearts for Valentine’s Day!
Since everyone’s boxes had different colors, we first graphed how many of each color we each had.
The next day, we worked on estimates. First, we guessed how many candy hearts fit into a larger heart. Then, we filled the larger heart to see if our estimates were close.
I think they loved Valentine math! Anything to make the lessons a little different is a welcome change!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
K2 has been working hard to fill our fuzzy jar! We have been looking forward to a “Game Day” for awhile!
When this day finally came, they were so excited they could hardly stand it!
We played all sorts of games! Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSI (which I am told there is a difference, but I don’t know what it is), board games, cards and puzzles!
I love that their hard work paid off!
Have I mentioned that I have THE BEST CLASS?
I can’t wait to see what ‘Fuzzy Jar Party’ they vote on next!
Claire was our Puppy of The Week this week! She has waited and waited, since the beginning of the year to have her week!
She read her whole information page own her own! I love how she pointed to each word as she read it, just like we do in class!
I wish I took a picture of the best item from Claire’s sharing bag. One of her favorite things is a puppy stuffed animal that her mom played with when she was a little girl! The puppy was very well loved and we could tell Claire took good care of it!
When asked what her favorite thing about being Puppy of The Week was, Claire said, “Everything! I’ve loved everything about it!”
Thanks, Claire, for waiting all year and doing a fabulous job for K2!
On Thursday, we had a special visitor to K2!
My mom, Mrs. Cigich, came to read to our class! She was so excited to meet the best kindergarten class ever! She is a teacher at Coulson Tough, but wanted to spend some time at our school, with our fabulous kids!
She read us two books, from an author (Janet Stevens) who visited her school this week! The author even signed the book, just for our classroom!
One book she read needed two volunteers to dress up! She chose Nathan to be the dog…
…and Ashlyn to be the Princess Cat!
Ashlyn enjoyed telling Nathan what to do!
The silly cat even tied up the dog with his own leash!
They LOVED having her read!
K2 gave her two big thumbs up!
Thanks, mom, for coming to spend the morning with us! We can’t wait until you come back!
