What is a Scientist?

We are learning about what scientist do this week. We had a great time during our apple exploration. We observed, sorted, graphed, measured, and tasted. Those are some of our favorite things to do as scientists. We were surprised that a green apple was our favorite flavor for our apple tasting. Yummy! What do think about being a scientist?

Officially Fall

Yes, fall is officially here. Today was a wonderful 1st full day of fall. The weather was warm enough it didn't feel like fall, but with all the fall stories we have read this week I just want to jump in a giant pile of colorful leaves. We will be learning more about fall this week with activities, holidays, and animal behaviors. I'm really excited. What do you think of fall?

Wonderful Week 2

You all looked adorable for pictures today. Did you tell mom and dad how you learned to add details to your writing and your illustrations? I am still in shock over how wonderful your journal entries were about the things you liked. It just goes to show that "nobody knows you better than yourself." We are going to have so much fun writing together this year and sharing our stories. We will blow Mr. Davenport's socks off with our brilliance. What is one thing that you would like to write about this year?

First Week

We have had an awesome first week of school. We learned some rules and procedures, discovered things about each other, and had fun playing games and sharing stories. The hardest part for some students was getting through the day. A whole day of school is very different from a half day of Kindergarden. My prediction for this group is that we are going to have an amazing year learning and sharing with each other as we prepare for 2nd grade and the future. My favorite part of this week was interacting with the students. What was your favorite part of the first week of school?

Summer's End

I am thrilled to have found that so many of you commented in the last couple weeks. It sounds like we have had a lot of fun this summer and that we have a lot in common. I am thrilled to have met all of you at Open House Night. I believe we are going to have an awesome year this year. I hope to have all of you blogging with me by the end of the year. I love hearing about what you are doing.

My final share for the summer is my most memorable part of this summer: my daughter's wedding. Saturday, August 29th, Heather married Carl Federoff at a beautiful beach ceremony in East Ocean View. It was an amazing day for all of us and the beginning of a wonderful new chapter in our lives. They are blessed to have found each other.
