Storytelling with Ms. Wetmore

Today our class was delighted by Storyteller Ms. Wetmore.  She told the story of The Turkish Sultan and the Rooster.

A Visit with Kevin Kurtz

Today our class skyped with Kevin Kurtz.  http://kevinkurtz.homestead.com/index.html

He taught us about how he became an author.  When he was a kid, he loved nature and now he writes about animals and nature.

This kicks off a new unit that we will be working on about writing non-fiction books.  Keep an eye out for more information to come home about this new writing unit.

Great Dane Puppy Cam

This week Nola shared a business card she got from her vet about a Great Dane Service Dog project.  It was great to look at the puppy cams.  It lead to an awesome conversation about the puppies vs. eaglets and comparing the two cameras.  Here is the link to the cams: http://www.servicedogproject.org/

Back to Blogging

Due to a change in email configuration within the District, I am not able to create new pages to my blog.  So here is my new one!  Hope to be back posting about all the awesome work that we are doing in Kindergarten!
