8th Grade Reading Buddies

Ms. Jeannie O'Connor brought her lovely group of 8th graders to Kindergarten this week. Some kiddos were a bit overwhelmed by the size and number of "big kids" in the room, but after the initial introductions they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Here are some pictures!

Holiday Party 2010

Our room was FILLED with holiday spirit this year! Santa Clause even came to leave Reindeer Food for the kids to sprinkle on the lawn. We had an amazing party hosted by the room moms; Laura Scully, Kelly Sanabria, and Judy Mendoza. Thank you so much for planning and putting everything together ladies.

All aboard The Polar Express.



Playing "Pin the Button Nose on Frosty."



Decorating ornaments with the kids picture and markers. They turned out so cute, guaranteed keepsakes!



Somehow I managed to tangle up the necklaces, oh boy.



I hope you enjoy the Winter Break with you family. Happy Holidays and I look forward to seeing you all again in 2011!

Garvy Addition

Ms. G and myself are going to be a part of history at John W. Garvy. Friday morning we went to the construction site and wrote our names on a beam that will be placed in the addition. The addition is going to be amazing, can't wait to see it complete!

Daniel's Book Club

Daniel celebrated his December 31st birthday a little early this year. Thank you Mrs. Berg for coming in and reading stories to our class!

What Did You Learn at School This Week?

Kindergartners have been busy learning all about the Gingerbread Man/Girl/Baby/Friends. Run, run, as fast as you can!

We've been practicing our song for the Holiday Assembly on Tuesday morning. Here is a picture of our bell decoration.



In math, the kids have been exploring patterns and beginning addition.



The cold temperature and snowflakes have encouraged us to practice zipping coats, and dressing ourselves for the winter elements. Here is a picture of us racing to zip the coats.



Hope you're staying warm and enjoying the holiday season!
