Trying to Catch Some Leprechauns!
Our trap is set. 


TWO leprechauns visited us but we were not fast enough to catch them!!  Their names are Lucky O'Reilly & Colin Mcdoogle.  They made a HUGE mess and left us some gold.  


Braden's cousin, Astronaut Nick Hague, is part of the Soyuz MS- 10 Crew who blasted off on Thursday.  The Keenan family was kind enough to share NASA information with us so that we could watch the blast off!

March 4th - March 8th


Image result for Lent clip artWe began the Lenten season by attending third grade's Ash Wednesday prayer service.  Prior to receiving our ashes, we discussed what the ashes meant.  From our class discussion, we decided it let people know we were "friends of God."





Centers In Gym Class

Mrs. Mosser sets up centers in PE so that nursery students can engage in well thought out, developmentally appropriate, large and small motor activities.

The Nursery class has been talking about Leprechauns and St. Patrick's Day.  When you feel a tickle on your ankle, it is a leprechaun saying hello!  We hope to "catch" one next week so we made a trap to do so.

We used green paint.....
....and some glitter spray!

February 25- March 1, 2019

A special visit from the 8th grade!

This week our friends in 8th grade asked if they could come in and read to us.  We were so excited for the visit and to spend time with them!  The 8th graders came with books that they checked out of the library just for us.  We paired up and shared books.







Jack and the Beanstalk

We read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk with Mrs. Zwilling.  When we were finished, we used blocks and shaving cream to build our own stalks!  This is a loved activity and those of you that were with me last year may remember.
