Star Student Lauren ~ Purim ~ Jell-O Painting ~ School House Rock ~ Winter Trees


Lauren was our Star Student today. If she could have any pet in the world, she would have a cat. Her favorite foods are nachos (w/ meat & beans), pizza and ice cream. She is special because she is confident at her work. She also likes to play with her cousins.



Jack brought in a Purim book and shared how his family celebrates the holiday. Purim is a happy holiday where people share their good fortune. Jack brought in a noise maker to show one of the ways they celebrate. Everyone got to try the noise maker which was very cool.





When we missed school on Friday, we missed a very special art project with the letter J. We decided to do it today because it is just so fun! We used glue and JELL-O powder to make lovely, beautiful-smelling pictures.


The entire Kindergarten watched a few of the School House Rock videos today. The 4th Grade Musical is "Schoolhouse Rock Live!, Jr", and we will see a performance of the musical on Thursday. You can find the original School House Rock videos on Youtube if you want to check them out at home.



We also created lovely chalk drawings of our tree in winter. Some of the words we used to describe the tree are smooth, bumpy, grooves, gray, and lines.
