Our field trip

We had a lot fo fun on our field trip to the desert Botanical Gardens! Not only did we have fun seeing cool things in the desert, but we got to learn in a really fun way.

Did you know roots are like straws?
And you can make a paintbrushout of an agaveplant?! It is so neat.
Roots not only drink water, but they help keep the tree from falling over.

The guide, Mr. Tim, read us a story about an owl and then he read us a story about animals in the desert, it was a counting book!

We are very thankful to have been able to go onthe trip! What a great day!!

Our Field Trip

Dear Friends,

Tomorrow, we are going on a field trip. Guess where we are going?
On our field trip, there will be animals.
These animals live in a garden.
These animals fly around.
Other animals we will see live in the desert.
These animals are native to Arizona.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Deal's Kool Kindergarteners

Harvest Time!!

Hello out there!

This week is our second week working on pumpkins. We know that pumkins are orange, they have seend, a stem, leaves, they grow on a vine, they are green before they are orange, and they are stinky!!

We are growing our very own pumpkin plants, too!! It is so neat. Mrs. Deal bought us our own pumpkins. I got to make observations and draw a picture of it. Some were orange, some were green. Some of the pumpkins even had stripes and bumps!!

Some adjectives we are learning are tiny, small, medium, large, huge, gigantic. We are using our observation skills every day and keeping a journal.

We continue, also, to learn about our family and use our "family" nouns to write sentences.

Thank you for following,

Our Technology in Class

Hi, all!

WOW! We really liked reading your posts. Thank you for all of your comments!!
Tomorrow we will be using Google Earth to look at those neat places you have told us about. We will let you know what we thought of it tomorrow afternoon.

Also, we are using these really cool "computer pens" called AverPens. They are really neat! Mrs. Deal says we are the only ones in our school using them right now. They can write on the front board without even touching it. Kind of like the Smart Board, but better. Mrs. Deal is always her hand as a table! hee hee

Thank you for giving us some ideas. Check out our blog tomorrow afternoon!!

Sincerely,
Deal's Kool Kindergarteners

Newbies

Hi.
Today we started a new theme. We will be learning about colors, where we live, and position words.

If you live somewhere really neat, please tell us about it!! We are also using googlemaps tolook up many different places...we would love to see where other people live.

We are always looking for kid friendly websites to use, also. If you know any cool ones, send them our way so our teacher can check them out!

Thank you,
Our Class

Our First Blog!!

Hi, All.

We are a new ELD kindergarten class and just starting our blog. If you are a parent of a student in our class, a friend of Mrs. Deal's, or just another Kool Kindergartener or student who would like to blog with us...feel free!!

Please keep in mind that kindergarteners are 5 and 6 years old, so write to our understanding. We will post and respond at least once per week.

Our teacher, Mrs. Deal, will be typing our words for us.

We are very excited about using such cool technology in our classroom, so visit us frequently! =)

Thank you,
Mrs. Deal's class
