Our FRIENDSHIP Feast

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!











THANK YOU, Thank You, thank you...

Thank you for all the food that was sent in, our friendship feast was a HUGE success. Most kids tried a little from each food that was brought in.  Some kids even had seconds!


The tables looked great thanks to Mrs. Z, Mrs. L, Mrs. A, Mrs. C, Mrs. N, and Mrs. D who helped set-up and also helped with the turkeys.  


Mrs. Y thank you for organizing this event :o).


I am grateful for the help and support I receive from all the parents in our Kindergarten Class.


I feel very LUCKY.

Pocket, Pocket, What's In My Pocket? & Much More


I used the extremely cute Happy Go Lucky free Digital Kit
from the Shabby Princess on all three pages on this post!

We read the book:  
Pocket, Pocket, What's In My Pocket?


  • The kids had fun predicting what they thought would be inside each pocket.  
  • Some clues were a little harder than others to predict and some were pretty easy.
  • Each student had a chance to draw their own pocket with a little of their item showing at the top.  
  • On the second page students drew themselves holding the item that was inside their pocket.
  • The best part was that they got to ask a friend to predict what was inside their pocket, 
  • they used the sentence frame: Pocket, Pocket, what's inside my pocket?  Something that's _____.




Goggles, Magnifying Glasses & Dinosaur Bones

I took these pictures about a week ago.  Students got to use our very cool goggles and magnifying glasses  to take a closer look at  12 different dinosaur bones.  All items are part of the learning materials we received from DonorsChoose.org.
