Fun with balls
During our Basketball time, students had fun learning how to dribble, pass, and shoot the ball in the basket. We also did relay races and steal the bacon with the basketball. In Baseball the students learn how to hold the bat correctly, how to stand and how to hit the ball with the bat.

We love to share
Students had fun at their sharing party. Each student brought in their favorite snack to share with others. We even had some of the staff come and share with us. Besides our sharing party, we had a healthy snack week too.

We have green thumbs
Students were very excited to plant and watch their very own bean seed grow. Students learned how plants grow. Each of us would come in ready to check on our plants and water them, especially on Monday morning. We also used cotton balls as soil and yes, the plant grew.

Rainbow Fish
Our library is still under construction and let me tell all of you that it looks amazingly great. Our students will surely enjoy it once its ready. For this month with PK and Kindergarten we have read books that deal with summer themes – for example, Rainbow Fish. After we read the story we talked about the importance of sharing and being friendly. Then we colored rainbow fish and pasted glittery scales on them. This Rainbow fish now decorates the bulletin board outside the library.

A new Library
First of all there is exciting news for the library. Our Library is being completely remodeled. We are blessed to have the opportunity of upgrading our library. For this reason, I have been and will continue to be having library in the classrooms. I come in with a rolling bookshelf for students to continue borrowing their favorite books. Although they miss the library it’s a nice chance for the library to come to them. The important thing is that they continue to exercise their love for books. Pk and Kindergarten have been reading about The Old Lady that Swallowed a Shell. They enjoy this story about the old lady that swallowed a whole bunch of ocean stuff. It is a great story to teach them about fiction, fantasy, and make believe and also stimulates their imagination.

Fathers Day Tie Card
Elementary worked on father’s day cards that unlike the traditional cards these resembled a shirt and tie! They were able to personalize the card to include their father’s favorite color and pattern.

Mothers Day Fans
Mothers deserve so much! Instead of the traditional Mothers Day card students made their mothers a colorful elegant fan, great for when she’s on the bus, train, park bench or even at church and needs to cool down. Using regular drawing paper students made designs and colored the entire page then folded it accordion style, and tied a ribbon at the end.

3D Rainbow Craft
We know that if you follow a rainbow you wont find a pot of gold, however you can remember a promise that God made to his people. After the flood that left only Noah and his family and the animals alive, God placed a rainbow in the sky to remind us that He will never get rid of mankind by flooding the earth again. Children used oak tag to make two double sided rainbows then cut a line in the center and created a 3D rainbow.

Spring Is Here
What says Spring more then a baby Chick? Students made greeting cards in the shape of an egg and when the egg hatched (or is opened) inside was a feathery chick.
Pencil holders don’t have to be boring or expensive. Students brought in empty food cans and transformed them into Chick Pencil holders by covering the can in construction paper, giving it a head, eyes, beak, feathers and feet.

Symmetrical Painting
Symmetry is all around us. Most plants are symmetrical, shapes and even people! If you split a flower down the center both sides are identical, being that spring was just around the corner students took a sheet of paper painted a flower on one side then folded the paper over and rubbed it onto the un-used side making an identical flower.
