In second grade, we did a "web of friendship" where students told other students 2 things about themselves. The students also had the opportunity to SYNERGIZE and help Mrs. Crowley cut out some lamination for the classroom. They are such great leader helpers!!! 

For the past two weeks we have been learning all about squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, and hexagons.  Today we had fun using our imaginations to create shape pictures.  The students made castles, animals, people, trucks, and more during math instruction.  What amazing kids we have in Kindergarten!!  

In Mrs. Gast's class we get a little crazy! Students have learned that sensory details are an important part of story telling. Hopefully they can use these visuals to help them remember to add sensory details to their writing. By the way, are they tasting rocks?! They are! It turns out that halite can be classified based on taste testing. (I wouldn't recommend going around tasting rocks though.) By the looks on their faces I don't think the halite tasted very good. Now they can write all about it with vivid sensory details!
