Tech-Lab Teacher for A Day!

Ashlyn was lucky the night of Springetti!  She won the raffle to be Galatas’ Tech Lab Teacher for A Day!

 SDC16112

Mrs. Curtis turned into a student and Miss Ashlyn became the teacher!

SDC16113

For the 10 minutes I was in the Tech Lab, I must have heard, “Miss Ashlyn…..” about a dozen times!

SDC16116

She did a GREAT job and helped all of her students just the way Mrs. Curtis would have!

SDC16114 SDC16115

Great job, Ashlyn!  You will make a wonderful teacher one day!!

Beautiful Day!

The other day, it was just so gorgeous outside!  I made a deal with the class that if they could keep working, we could move our work tables outside and enjoy the beautiful morning!

 SDC16100 SDC16101

They loved it!

SDC16102

We even did our reading groups outside…

SDC16103 SDC16105

Once they finished their work, they took a book anywhere on the playground to read.

We may have to do this more often!  It was a nice break, but we still worked hard!

How to Make Butter…

1.  After learning all about farms, go to the store to buy Heavy Whipping Cream, Salt and Jars.

2.  Add the cream and salt to the jars and close the lids very tightly!

SDC16063

3.  Shake the jars as hard as you can!!  (Having dance party music on the radio helps!)

SDC16064 SDC16065

4.  Keep shaking until you can’t hear the liquid anymore.

SDC16066 SDC16068

5.  Admire your butter!

Easter Egg Sight Word Hunt!

Thursday, April 1, all of Kindergarten participated in a HUGE Easter Egg Sight Word Hunt!

Everyone was given a list of 12 sight words and had to find an egg with a matching word.

 SDC15984

Once they found the matching egg, they crossed it off their list!

SDC15986 SDC15988

This was a great way for them to practice recognizing their sight words!

SDC15989 SDC15990 SDC15991

Everyone had a wonderful time!  It was a gorgeous day!

SDC15992 SDC15996SDC15997 SDC16000 SDC16001 SDC16002

Thank You, to all the parents who helped hide the eggs, and those who came out to help hunt the eggs!

SDC16003 SDC16004 SDC16005 SDC16006 SDC16008

I hope everyone had a terrific Easter Weekend with your families!
