May 11th - 15th

 We have egg-citing news!!  Our chicks hatched!!  We came to school Monday to find our incubator filled with baby chicks.  The boys and girls were so happy to see the little chicks moving around and climbing all over the place!  We had to keep them in the incubator until each little chick was fully dried. 

This week we celebrated two birthdays in kindergarten!  Happy Birthday Francesca and Seth!

Francesca celebrated her special day with her parents being our mystery readers and Seth celebrated with his classmates by having a glowstick dance party!

A huge thank you to our mystery readers this week!  We are always excited to have the parents come in and read to the class.  This week we were so lucky to have Fiona's mom, and Francesca's mom and dad join us as our mystery readers!

By the middle of the week, we were able to transport our little chicks to the brooder box where we could see them and where they have plenty of room to move about.  They also have food, water, and a little heater to keep them warm!  We were able to get up close to our chicks by forming a large circle with our PreK friends. The teachers placed the chicks in the circle, and we watched as the chicks explored the area.  Some even checked out our sneakers! The students learned to use just two fingers to pet the chicks since they are still young and fragile.  It's been so fun learning about our new little chicks!

 This week, we were happy to have 5th grader, Madison come to our class and read a story to us.  Madison was "Head of School" for the day!  She shadowed Dr. Kellich throughout the day and made time to spend with kindergarten!  Madison did a great job, and we were happy she spent some time with us!

Another great week of Kindergarten Mystery Readers! A huge thank you to Cal's mom, Aubrie's dad, and TJ's mom!  It's so much fun guessing who we think the reader could be and we truly enjoy the stories!

This week we took a field trip to the New Sharon Convent in Rosemont to spend some time with the Sisters and share our prayer service with them. There were so many sweet moments between the students and the Sisters.  After the prayer service, we shared some water ice and popsicles together!

Next, we spent some time on the playground next door to the convent. What a beautiful day to spend on the playground!  Lots of smiles and laughter! 

It was so nice to celebrate our May Crowning prayer service with moms! Many of the moms were able to attend the prayer service with us. Wishing all the Kindergarten moms a very special and Happy Mother's Day!
