This might be our most memorable week of Kindergarten yet! It was so special.
Last year, all the Kindergarten teachers in the district wrote a grant for an outdoor KinderGARDEN space that we got partially funded. After doing a lot of research, building, and shopping, I was finally able to get it all together this past weekend on our courtyard. The vision is for it to be a nature space for kids to explore ,dig, play, garden, and learn about nature. We will eventually be planting flowers, vegetables, and fruits out there as well. I am hoping the kids will use this space in First grade too.
The kids were SO excited to get out there on Monday! I foresee many days out there as the weather continues to get nicer.

Friday was a BIG day. Mrs. Buti, a second grade teacher at Indian Trail, helped organize some very special guests for us... chickens! I wanted the students to be able to observe, interact, and learn about adult chickens before our chicks hatch on Monday. These chickens were so friendly and gentle we were able to get up really close to them, and they even ate out of our hand! To say the students were excited would be an understatement.
We cannot wait to see our chicks next week!!
