Thanksgiving Feast

For our performance, each student was able to choose which costume he/she wanted to wear. We sang "Turkey Dinner" and "Before Thanksgiving Day" and recited the poem Thanksgiving Colors for our friends and family that were able to attend our feast on Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2010.

Making the Native American vests and hats are a lot of fun!

We made Pilgrim costumes and look so cute in them!

Kendrick was lucky to have BOTH his mom and his dad at the feast!

Jack's Mom, Mrs. Kory, brought Jack's brother, Gavin

Chris with his mom and his aunt

Hope's mom with Hope and Kevin

Lillie with her mom and her baby brother

Student Council's Hat Day

Our class enjoyed wearing some silly hats to show our Beauclerc spirit!
I hope we all show even more spirit on Friday, December 3rd, Stuffed Animal Day.

Zoo Field Trip

The field trip to the zoo on October 27th was a great success! Many parents were able to attend, so the children were divided into small groups of 2 or 3 to explore the different areas of the park. The students enjoyed the attention and counting how many of each different animal they saw during their visit.

There were 2 lions - a male and a female.

This cheetah couldn't hide from us!

Kevin, Gavin, Kendrick, Jack and Chris really enjoyed posing for pictures!

We also learned about taking care of our Earth and the animals on it.

One white tailed deer-so beautiful!

Watching the giraffes' eat was amazing. They were so close to where we were standing!

Because we went in October, we got to see the zoo decorated for the "Spooktacular." There were so many jack-o-lanterns, cobwebs, spiders and other spooky animals.

Everyone look at the camera!

Climbing on the metal sculptures of the gorilla, alligator and the elephants
was a lot of fun for Kindergarteners!

After exploring the animal habitats, we went to the "Zoo School." There we reviewed our five senses and discussed how important senses are to animals, too. Some animals have different senses than we do to explore their world.

This screech owl was quiet while we learned about her.

The brave children were able to pet the ball python and feel how smooth its skin was.

What a cute rabbit! Everyone was excited about petting her soft fur.

We also saw and touched a lizard. Was it an iguana?

Thanks to the parents who were able to attend and enjoy the day with our class: Gavin's dad, Connor C.'s mom, Connor D.'s friend, Jack's mom, and Jiwon's mom and dad! You helped make our trip fun and stress-free for the teacher, too! :)

All the children are excited about another field trip! Where will we go next time?

Learning is Fun!

During Literacy Centers, the students do "hands-on" activities to reinforce the learning we have been doing in large and small groups: building words, matching lowercase and uppercase letters, matching beginning sounds, practicing writing letters and words, etc.
