Weather

Meredith Mitchell from KTHV came to our school to talk to us about weather. We enjoyed learning about thunder.

Career Day

Today is Career Day at Don Roberts Elementary. Our students have the opportunity to see and hear about the jobs that adults do. Maybe the jobs they hear about will spark an interest and a child might want to know more about doctors or a Fed Ex employee. Today was THE BEST Career Day I  have attended in my 15 years of teaching!!! We met an employee from LR Recycles, Fed Ex, and  UPS. Each presenter had something age appropriate to say to 4 and 5 year olds. Each presenter gave us a little gift and each presenter gave us valuable information. Ask your child what they learned today!

Hello Mr. President

Inside the Cottage

Thanks to a couple of dads who finished the inside of the cottage last school year. We are able to play inside the cottage during inside play. It's super cute! We will paint it this summer. Here is a quick look.

Work

Mark and Cheryl drew and wrote in their journal. They did a great job sounding out the words they wanted to write.

Our Bears are Awake!!

When the children came into the classroom this morning the bears were awake and waiting for us!!! They decided it was time to wake up becasue Spring is here.

Shoes

Fair Share

On Monday we practiced what is means to have a fair share. One students said that fair share is each person having the same NUMBER! She is correct. Here are pics of us practicing fair share.

A Day Without Shoes

What would you do if you could not wear or did not have shoes??? We discussed that topic in our class. Many children said their feet would get cold, wet, or dirty. We also learned to give to someone else if you have extra. Our class is asking for donation of shoes they can no longer wear. I will donate them to Our House Shelter. My sister works there and she tellsl me that many children who enter Our House do not have proper shoes or clothes. Thank you in advance for caring for others!

Spring Egg Hunt

We had so much fun hunting eggs. On the count of 3 we ran to find eggs. We filled our baskets with candy filled eggs. Thank you parents for all your support.
