Chets Creek Garden

Our class planted "The Three Sisters". We planted corn, squash and beans.

Pumpkin Sorting

We are currently working on a unit that is all about pumpkins. We are studying and using pumpkins throughout all subject areas. Here are a few students that are using pumpkins and gourds for sorting. The students sorted them into groups and their buddies had to determine which characteristics were used to place each one in which group.

Fifth Grade Buddies

We are lucky to have joined with Mrs. Shannon's fifth grade class. The fifth graders come to our room each Thursday. We work on our Reading skills together, and have worked on plenty of Science Skills. Math is next!

Orientation

We had an amazing Kindergarten Orientation today!  It was a thrill to see students that I have known for years as well as meet many new friends.  We have a wonderful group of children in our class this year and I am looking forward to learning all about them.  The parents learned all about what to expect in kindergarten and the students created  chefs that look like themselves for our bulletin board.  It was an exciting morning.  I look forward to seeing all of my new students again on Monday for the First Day of Kindergarten!  We most certainly have the Recipe for Success!

Getting Ready for Kindergarten

Tomorrow is Kindergarten Orientation.  I am so excited to meet my new students and their families.  This is going to be an exciting and learning filled school year. Chets Creek has the recipe for success and we are ready to teach our new students what the recipe is and how to use it.  Looking forward to seeing what this new group of chefs are ready to cook up.  Looking forward to a wonderful and fun filled school year.  See you tomorrow. 

Pizza Party!!!

Lunch was terrific today! We won a Pizza Party from the PTA for collecting so many Box Tops, Soup labels and Printer Cartridges. It was yummy and so much fun to eat with our friends in the classroom. Thanks to our parents for helping us to collect what we needed, and big thanks to the PTA for the Super yummy pizza.

100 Day of School!

Today is the 100th Day of School. We have been counting the days since the very first day and it is finally here. The students had a special homework assignment this week. The students were challenged to create "something" to wear that had 100 things on it. We had a belt with 100 buttons, we had a shirt with 100 candy hearts, and a shirt with 100 bows. The kids looked and felt terrific. In class we made a 100 day trail mix with exactly 100 treats in each bag. Each student made a 100 Day of School Hat and a 100 Day book. We read books about the 100th day. We counted to 100 by one's fives and tens as well as other fun activities based on the number 100. We finished the day with a visit from "Zero the Hero", who made the day extra special.
