I would like to introduce myself, I am Ms. Govig (aka Ms. G). I am the aide in Ms. Bachman's wonderful Kindergarten classroom. I am so happy to be here and to have the opportunity to work with these amazing students.
Last spring I graduated from Northeastern Illinois University with my Bachelors Degree in elementary education. I am also the proud mother of two beautiful girls Ainsley, 6, and Ella, 5.
I look forward to working with the students this year, I know it will be a great one!!

Thanksgiving Pie Feast
What is your favorite kind of pie? Blueberry? Pumpkin? Apple?
In our room there was a tie between apple (12 votes) and pumpkin (12 votes). Thankfully Mrs. McGlade came in to taste and broke the tie, PUMPKIN pie was chosen as our class favorite. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Mendoza for bringing a pumpkin pie and helping plate and serve. Thank you also to Mrs. Hehn who brought in the apple and blueberry pie from our Market Day pie sales.
The kids loved decorating foam turkeys with feathers and stickers. Thank you Mrs. Sanabria for your donation of the materials.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

What Did You Learn at School This Week?
This week the kids were busy with mixing colors; yellow and blue make green, yellow and red make orange, and blue and red make purple. The science experiment included taking small plastic baggies filled with glue, shaving cream, and a couple drops of food coloring. Students then mixed the bag together and used the concoction to make 3-D feathers on turkeys. The kids also watched a video about mixing colors and thought it was absolutely hilarious. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dczpjt5HLo
We also worked on writing during Writer's Workshop. Here are some of our friends at "Authors Chair."
Their friends are always so excited to give them a compliment or ask a question about the story!
Last week in science the kids did weaving, they loved it!
