Have you seen our new birdfeeders in the back of the school?

Mr. Taylor showed us how to properly dig holes for the 4x4's using a hand auger, how to measure the holes to be sure there were deep enough, how to secure the post for the cement to hold and how to use a drill.   

 I wonder..... will all the birdseed be gone after the weekend?

I wonder... what kind of birds visited our new bird feeders?

Sharing Circle

 

Sharing time is special part of the day. It is so great to see that many of our JK's are signing up and participating in sharing their work.  Students share songs, costumes, pictures, paintings, creations, musical instruments, and the list is endless.  The audience will have an opportunity to ask one question to each friend sharing their work.  Sharing time is an excellent opportunity for students to build their confidence and improve their oral language skills.
