a LiTtLe RoCk FuN!!!!!

What a week in Kindergarten! We have been learning about the letter R, the sound the letter makes and meeting our 3rd Alphafriend, Reggie Rooster!!!! Hopefully you have been hearing Reggie's song at home and had fun finding things that begin with the /r/ sound! We know we have!!! We ended the week with guessing what could Mrs. Ryan possibly put in the R box for us to guess this time? Guess what?!?!?!? She put Rocks in there! Not just any rocks but rocks that we got to paint and make into a pet! Oh what fun!!!!! Take a look at our Rocks and the names we gave them!!!

Have you seen our Gingerbread Man?

We started the first day of school with a book about a gingerbread cookie, The Gingerbread Baby. Have you read it? It is a story about a little boy that bakes a gingerbread baby but doesn't follow the instructions and opens the oven before the suggested time. The gingerbread baby runs away and has many people and animals trying to catch him to eat him. However, in the end, the little boy is smart and bakes a gingerbread house. The big surprise however, is at the end when you lift the house and finding the gingerbread baby happy and caught!
The book made us all very hungry but Mrs. Ryan was a thinker and made us a HUGE gingerbread man cookie for us all to share for snack. We went to recess and came into our classroom with our mouths watering, only to find our gingerbread man missing! Can you imagine?
This started our tour of the school and how to walk in line. We looked in the office and meet Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Martinez (secretaries). We went to they gym and asked Mr. Andrus (PE teacher). We stopped by the lunchroom and they hadn't seen him. We went and asked Ms. Burr (Music teacher) and she never saw him either! We walked everywhere through the school (Learning "Hips and Lips" to keep us quiet in the hall!) and even asked the people we met along the way. Still, no gingerbread man!
Luckily, at the end of the day...Mr. Silzly (Principal) brought back our gingerbread man! He had been running on the blacktop outside at recess (This is a No, no!) and feel down and got hurt so someone took him to the office!
Thank goodness we learned rules and places we will go along the way so that will not happen to us! However, better than that, we finally got to have our snack!

Sorry T-Th group, somehow some of our pictures were deleted! I promised to make it up to you! Parents, we did have a lot of fun even if some of the pictures didn't make it here!
