HAPPY NEW YEAR! It is 2016 and we are half way (can you believe it) trough your child's kindergarten year! It goes by in the blink of an eye. I have not done well at keeping up on our classroom blog this semester. Things got busy, as they tend to do, and the blog was something I let slip. It was a wonderful semester so I didn't want to go into the new year without first making sure I finished sharing 2015 with you. I have compiled some pictures from October, November, and December for your enjoyment. Be sure to look at them with your kindergartner-their memories of last semester will surely get them excited for coming back to school on Tuesday!
Enjoy the pictures and I will see you bright and early on Tuesday!

| Working together to inventory our Lego science kits. |
 |
| Partners work together to make sure they have all the right pieces in their Lego science kits. |
 |
| Miss Morgan helps us with our inventory. |
 |
| One of our bucket parties! We moved ALL the furniture and played with the parachute! |
 |
| The parachute is one of our FAVORITE bucket parties! |
 |
| Look closely! We are playing popcorn with one of our finger puppets. |
 |
| It was fun watching our puppet (almost) touching the ceiling. |
 |
| Miss Morgan demonstrates how our digestive system works...I'm just a prop holder. |
 |
| The stomach breaks our food into teeny tiny pieces and turns it into a kind of soup that our body uses to keep us healthy. |
 |
| Each kindergartner got to drop a piece of bread down the "esophagus" into the "stomach." We squeezed the "stomach" to demonstrate how digestion happens inside our bodies. |
 |
| Miss Morgan demonstrates how our stomach muscles move our stomach to aide in digestion. |
 |
| The contents of the "stomach" were pretty GROSS! |
 |
| Miss Morgan teaches kids about positional language and the importance of our sense of sight by completing an obstacle course on the carpet! |
 |
| Each student had to get their blindfolded partner through the course by guiding them with the sound of their voice. |
 |
| It was a lot of fun! |
 |
| Beginning to learn about shapes with play-doh. |
 |
| Two dimensional and three dimensional shapes were made with play-doh. |
 |
| Our trip to the Beach Art Museum at K-State. |
 |
| Ms. Jennifer read us a story about prairie fires. |
 |
| We acted out what it would be like to be a part of the prairie landscape. |
 |
| Learning about art in the gallery. |
 |
| Ms. Jennifer had us point out little things we noticed in some of the art work. |
 |
| We even made our own art! |
 |
| So much FUN! |
 |
| For those of you that don't know...Mr. Scruggs adopted a puppy in November. Her name is Frankie and I talk about her all the time. So, if your kindergartner comes home talking about someone named Frankie, this is who they're talking about. |
 |
| Our gift to Miss Morgan on her last day. Thank you SO much for all of your donations...she was overwhelmed by all of your generosity! |
 |
| Miss Morgan was quite surprised!! |
 |
| We made a special book about Miss Morgan that she read on her last day. |
