Creepy Crawlers Day!

Kindergarten’s Creepy Crawlers Day was a blast!

Our day began with “Mrs. Spider” coming to read to us!

 

She didn’t fool K2 though, the kids knew right away it was Mrs. Lindsay!

After Mrs. Lindsay read to us, we went to a presentation by the “Ladybugs!”  These women work at The Houston Museum of Natural Science and they brought a bunch of creepy crawlers for us to look at!  They even let all the kids touch a few bugs!

Mark and Maddie touching a ‘leaf bug.’

Finnley was brave enough to touch the tarantula!

Evan got to pet the millipede! 

 

Jordan and Nathan were excited to touch the hissing cockroach!  Yuck!

That afternoon, we began the real creepy crawler fun!  Every classroom had a fun activity planned for each class!

In Mrs. Humke’s room, we made creepy crawler creatures out of playdough!

In Mrs. Seaburg’s room, we played Pin The Wing on the Fly and Spider bean bag toss!

In Mrs. Bates’ room, we made awesome spider hats!

In Mrs. Garza’s room, we decorated ladybug cookies!  They were delicious!

In Mrs. Cannon’s room, we listened to books about all different types of bugs!

Back in our room, we sang and danced around to all different creepy crawler music!

Thank you to all parents who made this day possible!  I know everyone had a great time!  We cannot wait for the next fun event in Kindergarten!

Pumpkin Carving!

To end our week of learning about pumpkins, we all worked together carving one!

We talked about all the yucky stuff inside pumpkins,
guessed how many seeds our has,

wondered why it smelled so bad,

and decided on the perfect shapes for his eyes, nose and mouth!

Our pupmkin is now a Jack-o-lantern and he is a perfect decoration for our Creepy Crawler afternoon!

Puppy of The Week - Annie!

Annie was our puppy of the week this week! What a fun week we have had!

Annie did a great job showing us all her pictures, sharing all of her favorite things from home and being our leader for the week!

Annie really wanted her new friends in K2 to know that she is a triplet! She told us that means that her brother, Elliot in K6, her sister, Emma in K3, and Annie all have the same birthday!

We are so glad that we have Annie in our class!
Thank you for a wonderful week, Annie! You are AWESOME!

There are so many days at Galatas that are my favorites and this is one of them!

Pocahontas (Joey) wanted us to pose for a quick picture!

The Kindergarten Team!  We were dressed as the characters from “Hey Diddle, Diddle".”  I think we look pretty good, don’t you?

Thank you, everyone, who worked so hard on costumes to make our Storybook Parade fabulous!  It was a wonderful morning!

Reading Week

Reading week is a great week to talk to the kids about how important reading is!  Galatas likes to have have fun with everything we do so, we had several ‘dress up’ days this week! 

Have you ‘read’ any good books lately?  On Monday, we wore red!

Cuddle up with a good book and read!  On Tuesday we wore our pajamas!  The kids loved this day!  They thought it was so cool that we actually wore our jammies to school!

Puppy of The Week - Jordan!

It was Jordan's time to shine this week! She loveed being our Puppy of The Week!

Jordan was our wagon helper at the very beginning of the year so, she knew what to do!
During her presentation, she showed us pictures of her with her whole family, her as a baby and some vacation pictures!

Thank you, Jordan, for all your help this week and all of your great pictures and items from the sharing bag!
