September

Time is flying by so quickly. The students have all adjusted quite well and are able to do their morning routines with very little reminders. There are just a few tearful moments for some who are not use to doing things out of the routine.
Jeannie Yoshida, along with Pat Gegen, our very own PTSA President came in to reinforce "RECYCLING". Thank you for reminding our students to wear their recycle t-shirts on Mondays. We are integrating graphing to see if we can get 100% students wearing their recycle t-shirts. They will be able to help you sort the recycle items and hopefully encourage less items going into the landfill. We sang and danced to a song about recycling. I think Pat enjoyed it more than the children.

Our Classroom Visitors

 

Pat Gegan came in to speak to us about recycling and gave each student a recycle shirt to use on Mondays.
Mrs. Hadley comes in to read on Friday's.

Look what we do in school!

First Day of School!!

Welcome Back to School

Welcome to the 2010 - 2011 school year! I am looking forward to a great school year with you all. This year I will be using this blog to communicate with the students as well as with parents. I encourage you to subscribe to the blog and check back regularly to see what is going on in the class. I will try to post pictures as often as possible as well as updates for parents and some assignments and assessments for students. Please feel free to contact me anytime with questions or concerns.

Aloha-

Yummy, Yummy. . . Stone Soup

Today we finally made our STONE SOUP!! The children have waited patiently all semester for this project and today it came to fruition. They learned that Stone Soup was actually made to teach others about sharing and kindness. The children each brought in one ingredient to add our stone soup. We had no idea what would actually go in to our soup until this morning when we met together to add our yummy ingredients to our stones.

We had lots of different herbs, spices, vegetables and even some pasta. A couple of our students even brought us some bread to enjoy with our soup. If your child doesn't like vegetables you might want to make stone soup. . . they all enjoyed the mushrooms, beans, peas, tomatoes, etc.

Take a look at our pictures and if you concentrate real hard, maybe you can smell our delicious soup.

P.S. The first couple of pictures are from our ice cream making yesterday. We got so excited about making the ice cream we forgot to take more pictures.

Stone Soup

As one of Mrs. Herbig's final "duties" in our class,  she will be making Stone Soup with the children tomorrow (5/5).  Each child needs to bring one (1) item from home to add to our soup (except stones).  Please do not go to the store to purchase anything, just have them look in the cabinet or refrigerator and find something they think would make our soup delicious!  We will share our findings and hopefully create something yummy.
