The First Few Weeks...

We have been keeping really busy in K2 lately!

We have been... 

doing a lot of hands on activities, 

 to know each other,

acting as cute as can be,

working with math manipulatives,

playing together

and working on our alphabet!

Things are non stop from 8am-3pm, but we love it that way!

I couldn't ask for a better group of sweet kiddos this year!

First Day Fun!

Today was a FABULOUS first day in K2!

 I don't want to jinx anything here, but I never had a first day of Kindergarten go this smoothly!

 We made it outside a few times for some individual and group pictures!

 We are very lucky this year to have a pretty good split between boys and girls!

 On our way to recess practice, Gracie was stopped by her sweet big brother!

 Turns out, there are lots of rules on the Galatas playground.  K2 was very patient to sit and listen to all of them before they went to play!

 Morning recess is the BEST!  It isn't too hot or too sunny and it gets some wiggles out for the rest of our day!

 I LOVE how everyone is so quick to make friends with each other!

 Mrs. Bale, our Gatatas PE teacher, was nice enough to use her planning time to take some class pictures for us!

 We certainly have a good lookin' group!

 Before the day was over, we had time for our first of many, many dance parties!

 A question I ask all the kids on the first day of school...

What do you want to learn about in Kindergarten?

I can only hope I don't let some of them down!

Heres to a GREAT year as a new family of K2 kids!

End of the Year Pictures

Since we will have friends out the very last week of school, we took some pictures week of our whole class together!

First, a flashback to the first day of kindergarten!

 

And…almost the last day of kindergarten!

WooHoo!  They have worked so hard!

Now, we are ready for FIRST GRADE!!

Robotics Science Camp Week

This has been an incredible week at Galatas!  Science Camp week is always so much fun, very interesting and teaches us all!

On Monday, students from College Park High School came to Galatas for a presentation with their robot!  They are a part of a group called Texas Torque.  Their robot was programmed to move around, pick up basket balls and even shoot baskets!

 

Even I got to drive the robot!

On Tuesday, a group from McCullough came to show us the robots they used to win at their competitions!

They called themselves the “Sassy Scientists!”

On Wednesday, we went to the science lab for awesome experiments and demonstrations!

 

We also had Police Officers from the Houston Police Department visit.  They brought in robots used to find bombs and suspicious packages and take care of them safely.

 

On Thursday, we made our own edible robots with marshmallows and pretzels.

 

 

On Friday, Tommy Betts, a professional movie stuntman came to show us how machines and special tools are used in movies!

I was asked to volunteer to be lifted in the air!

Aaaahhh!  I was so nervous!

We had a great week and learned so much about robotics these few days!
