Easter

cvibbert — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 19:28:19 +0000

Today was our Easter Egg Hunt. Sunday is Easter. We were picking up eggs from the grass. We put them in our basekts. We played Easter games. We hunted for five eggs first. We looked in the grass, on the hill, at car-riders and under the bench we sit on.

Space

The space driver, or astronaut, rides in a space ship. They put a flag on the moon to celebrate the United States. Astronauts float in space. They wear a suit. It helps them breathe. They ride in rockets. The moon is in space. There’s a bunch of planets like Mars and Venus. Pluto is the smallest planet.

Five Senses

Eyes see for you. You can hear wind with your ears. You can hear cars. Taste–we can taste food like spaghetti. Smelling: I love to smell “sketti!” Food!

Thanksgiving

We eat turkey and corn. Pilgrims also ate corn. We ate chicken, fruit and coleslaw. We spend time together. We ate and watched football. The Pilgrims and the Indians started Thanksgiving. They called it a Harvest Celebration. Thanksgiving is on Thursday.

12 of us ate Turkey.

6 ate Chicken.

13 had Ham.

Scarecrows

cvibbert — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 01:04:47 +0000

Scarecrows are made of sticks. Crows eat corn. Scarecrows guard the vegetables and corn. They wait until the birds come and then say “boo!” The Scarecrow scares away the crows. They sleep in the garden. They hang on a stick. The wind blows and the scarecrow loses sticks from his body. The scarecrows wear hats and clothes. They clothes come from the mall and the lost closet.

Farm Animals

cvibbert — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 17:31:26 +0000

We have been learning about animals. The cow lives on a farm. A chicken lays eggs. People ride horse. The goat eats grass. Cows give you some milk. They eat food like grass. A dog eats dog food on the farm. Cats eat cat food.

A farmer works on the farm. He feeds the animals. He rakes up leaves. He helps milk the cows.

Them Bones

Skeletons are bones that help us stand up and move. Bones in your toes help your feet. Bones in your arm make your elbow move.

Firemen & Firetrucks!

cvibbert — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 01:00:13 +0000

Last week we went inside the firetruck to take pictures. We got out of the truck and came inside. The firetruck sounds like “whoowhoowhoo.” And they got the ladder out. They raise up the ladder to save people. When there’s a huge fire they get the ladder way up in the sky and spray water. The water is sprayed with a hose. The fireman taught us to stop, drop, and roll and to crawl on our knees. He taught us how to get out of the house and call the police at 911. They taught us to stay out of the house. Nobody goes back in except the firefighters. In school we made firetrucks. We all got stickers and fire hats.

Colors and Shapes

cvibbert — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 14:43:29 +0000

We learned about shapes and different colors. Shoes have different colors and shapes. Some shoes are pink and white. One shape is a circle. Blue is a color, and yellow. Tomorrow we will wear green! The triangle is like a bicycle or tricycle because the tricycle has three weheels and triangles has three corners and three sides.

We Like Centers!

cvibbert — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 15:53:13 +0000

In Kindergarten we write and play in centers. Housekeeping is a good center because we cook food. We have a mop and a new sweeper. Drawing is fun because we draw pictures for Mom and Dad. At the computer we play games. In the sand center we make castles.
