Summer Fun!

I miss you guys SO much! I hope everyone is having a great summer! Sally and I are relaxing and having fun in the sun.

This is Sally all wet after swimming in the lake.  Kinda funny looking, huh?

Michael, Gabriel and Richie went bowling together and it sure looks like they had a great time! 

What have you been up to?  Email and let me know and I'll post it here for your kindergarten friends to see.

Love you bunches!

Ms. Conway

Field Day Fun!

After a heat wave and a rainy day caused a slight change of plans, we had a terrific time at Field Day yesterday.  We played games with hoola hoops, frisbees and parachutes and did jumping jacks, knee slaps and relay races.  Everyone showed such great sportsmanship that we all were awarded with special Field Day ribbons.  Thanks to all the families who came to cheer us on!

Superstars!

We had a special ceremony to celebrate our hard work in the Math Superstars program this year.  We each got a Superstar medal and had a special treat.  Way to go K-C!

We Love to Read!

As our year comes to an end, it is inspiring to think about what great readers we've become. We've shared so many great stories this year and have read with lots of special people like our Reading Buddies and our Mystery Readers.  Thanks to everyone who has shared their love of reading with us!

We enjoyed the nice weather and read outside with our Reading Buddies. 

It was terrific making new fourth grade friends!

Ms. Conway's mom was a Mystery Reader this week!  We got to hear stories about when Ms. Conway was little and even saw a picture of her when she was in kindergarten!

It was a Great Night to Write!

It was so great to see such a big turn out last night for our Great Night to Write!  We've been working so hard on our poetry that it was terrific to finally share our poems with you.  Thanks for celebrating our writing with us!

And the Mystery Blogger Is...

Mr. D'Amico! 

All of the guesses we made were great and we would to have all of those people as mystery bloggers one day.  (We especially think it would be funny to see Snappy typing on a computer...)

Stay tuned for the next mystery blogger soon...

Extreme Makeover - Goldfish Edition

We've been studying the behavior of our goldfish, Spongebob and Patrick (S&P) and observing their reactions to changes in their environment.  When we redecorated and added gravel, a plant and a castle, we noticed that S&P were more active.  They love to swim around and hide behind the plant and inside the castle.

When we turned off the lights, S&P became very still, and when we turned them back on, they started swimming again.  We're recording all of our findings in our science journals.
