I think it is so important for kids to get out and play-play-play!

On these beautiful days, we like to sneak out for a short ten-minute burst to run!

Mobil Dairy Unit and the “Moo Cow!”

Galatas Kindergarten was invited by the preschool next door to join them for their Mobil Dairy Unit presentation!

 SDC18441

A real farmer brought his “Moo Cow” (as my class called it)!

SDC18442 SDC18444 SDC18445

He shared lots of information with us!  He showed us what the cow eats,

SDC18448

how long his tongue is (eeeww….)

SDC18452

and even how they milk the cow everyday!

SDC18453 SDC18455

It was a great morning!  We all like a little mix up in the routine every once in awhile!

Happy Valentine’s Day…K2 Style!

What a GREAT day!  We had more Valentine activities planned than we had time for, but it was a FUN and WONDERFUL day!

 SDC18401

We did several projects with conversation hearts!

SDC18400

We created four different color patterns with our hearts….

SDC18402

We made predictions of how many hearts can fit inside our bigger heart…

SDC18403

and we graphed all the different colors that were in our box!SDC18412

SDC18404

I was spoiled beyond belief by such wonderful students!

SDC18406 SDC18407

Last week, we brainstormed what LOVE is.  Here are some of the answers…

LOVE IS….

Getting married.

 SDC18409

Jesus dying for us.

 SDC18408

Kissing.

SDC18410

Sweet.

SDC18411

Today we talked about what Valentine’s Day would be like without our Valentine.  Once again, I got some very clever answers!

WITHOUT YOU, VALENTINE, IT WOULD BE LIKE….

Batman without Robin.

  SDC18413

Rudolph without his red nose.

SDC18415 

A queen without her King.

SDC18416

A turtle without its shell.

SDC18423

Hot chocolate without the marshmallows.

SDC18418

Our Valentine exchange was a bit hectic, but FUN, FUN, FUN!

SDC18419 SDC18420 

Thank you, thank you to all of K2 for your hard work today!  I hope you guys had as much fun as I did!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
