Please Feed The Birds!

This week the children made bird feeders with Mr. Elrod and Ms. Jennifer in art. The children worked real hard and placed them in the bushes of our courtyard for our hungry bird friends.

Book Buddies

Pre-k met up with our book buddies for a fun activity that allowed the 4th graders to help the pre-k create a vinn diagram of how they are alike and how they are different from the 4th grade. We had a great time working as a group

Winter Performance

This week the children performed at the winter fine arts showcase. The children sang and danced as a group. They were really brave to perform in front of the school. The children have learned so much from our music department.

Esta semana los niños realizan en el invierno escaparate de Bellas Artes. Los niños cantaron y bailaron las canciones tradicionales de invierno. Eran muy valiente para llevar a cabo en frente de la escuela. Los niños han aprendido mucho de nuestro departamento de música.

Go Chiefs!!!

Today we got to go watch "The Princess and the Frog." at the movie theater and afterwards got to meet our very own Kansas City Chiefs. They were really cool and they gave us some treats. After they explained to us that they were not elves but football players, we wished them luck on their game. The players laughed when Alex and Brayan said, "Mr. Nick they are bigger then you, like monsters."

Hoy llegamos a ir a ver "La princesa y la rana". en el cine y después llegó a conocer nuestra propia Kansas City Chiefs. Eran realmente fresco y nos dieron algunos gustos. Después nos explicaron que no eran elfos, pero los jugadores de fútbol, que les deseó suerte en su juego. Los jugadores se rieron cuando Alex y Brayan dijo, "Sr. Nick son más grandes, entonces, como monstruos.".

Watercolors

The kids always have the opportunity to paint during centers but recently I realized that we had not painted with watercolors this year. This week we worked with Mr. Elrod in the art studio and created some great pieces that we will display in the classroom. The kids were really engaged and took their time painting.

Los niños siempre tienen la oportunidad de pintar en los centros, pero recientemente me di cuenta de que no había pintado con acuarelas de este año. Esta semana hemos trabajado con el Sr. Elrod en el estudio de arte y creó algunas grandes piezas que se mostrarán en el salón de clases. Los niños estaban realmente comprometidos y tomaron su tiempo pintando.

Our New Friend: Jasmis

We got a big surprise today, as we got a new friend in the classroom. Her name is Jasmis and we are going to work hard in showing her how to be a caring and thoughtful pre-schooler. Today we showed her how to join our community on the carpet, how to choose centers, how to talk to friends, and to have fun.

Tenemos una gran sorpresa hoy, ya que tenemos un nuevo amigo en el aula. Su nombre es Jasmis y vamos a trabajar duro en el que muestra su manera de ser un cuidado pre-escolar y reflexivo. Hoy nos mostró cómo unirse a nuestra comunidad sobre la alfombra, cómo elegir los centros, cómo hablar con los amigos, y para divertirse.

"I can put it together."

A few weeks ago our mat shelves arrived and they have been setting in the house area in boxes. We have been waiting on the tools and materials that were needed to build. The materials arrived yesterday and I told the kids that I would build them as soon as I get the time. A few the kids shouted that they could build them and asked to help. Later on in the day I decided to see if they could indeed build the shelves with my help. The kids choose to use their free time to build the shelves and it took them about two hours. I am proud to report that they did indeed build the shelves and they are very strong. By the end they didn't need my help at all!

Hace unas semanas llegó a nuestras estanterías tapete y se han venido estableciendo en la zona de la casa en cajas. Hemos estado esperando en las herramientas y materiales que se necesitan para construir. El material llegó ayer y le dije a los niños que iba a construir tan pronto como llegue el momento. Algunos de los niños gritó que podían construir ellos y le pidió que ayudara. Más tarde en el día que decidí ver si realmente podían construir las estanterías con mi ayuda. Los niños eligen utilizar su tiempo libre para construir las plataformas y les llevó cerca de dos horas. Estoy orgulloso de informar que, efectivamente, la construcción de los estantes y que son muy fuertes. Al final no necesita mi ayuda en absoluto!
