It is time to say, "Goodbye!"

It's time to say, goodbye.
Our year has come to an end.
We've made more cherished memories 
And many more new friends.
Our teacher have watched us learn and grow
And change from day to day.
They hope that all the things we've done
Have helped in some small way.
So it's with happy memories
They send us out the door
With great hope and expectations
For what next year holds in store.

Check Us Out...

We came to school 165 days ago and we were wide-eyed and ready to learn
Now, we are almost ready to leave Kindergarten and enter First Grade with a brain that has been exercised and grown! 
 Our bodies have developed and our muscles are so much stronger!
Please, help me 
practice for my testing tonight 
because I have 1 more opportunity to prove my brain is ready for First Grade!  Come on...time me!
*1 minute to read as many upper/lower case letters.
*1 minute to break words apart by sound that you give to me.
*1 minute to read 3 letter pretend words (I can read or sound out).
I know I can do it because I am a smart kid! 
 I believe in myself and so does my teacher!

Mother's Day Love

Thank you to all the mothers and grandmothers who came to be spoiled on May 8th!  
The KinderKids could NOT wait to sing for you and give you massages, 
orange floats, and gifts
It was an afternoon full of love!
Do you know how much we love you?
First, touch the ground...reach for the sky.
Now, get down low...then, jump real high!
Put one arm out and then the other.
That's how much we love you!

Bye-Bye, Butterflies!

1 month later has brought about many changes for our caterpillars.  
We have witnessed a metamorphosis in room 5!
We had 21 Painted Lady Butterflies!
They were gorgeous, but we sent them back to the scientists.   
We wish we could have kept them,
 but we know they must live in their natural habitats!
