End of Year Blues...

Hello Kindergarten Families,

At this time in the year I always get some end of the year blues....but I want to wish each and every one of you a Happy Summer! I am so sad to say good-bye to these kiddos, I have loved getting to know your child  over this past year and watching them grow. It has been my pleasure to have them in my classroom and I hope they/you feel the same way! I cannot wait to see what they do in first grade and hope that they will all come visit me next year!

A few of you may have heard from your kiddo that I am expecting a baby!! Word travels fast, especially amongst 5-6 year olds. One of the kiddos overheard me talking to an adult and news spread like wildfire! I am pregnant and due in December! The kids have been very sweet and are sharing the news with everyone! It is a very fun time and I am happy to see their excitement! 

Have a wonderful summer and I will see you next year at Mt. Jumbo for an amazing first grade year!!!

Love,

Mrs. Baied

Game Day

Game day was a blast with all of the other kindergarten students!!!! We played Duck, Duck, Goose, Freeze Tag & Everybody's It!!!

Exercise Day...

Doing Sit-Ups

Yesterday we celebrated one of our final days in kindergarten with our ABC countdown. We wore exercise clothes and had a break in the middle of the day where we went  with all of the other kindergarten friends to the front of the school to sweat it out! We did a lot of different exercises, ran a lap around the school and ended with a cool down lap. It was a lot of fun!!

Lots of Push-Ups

Running the lap

Counting Down To The End of Kindergarten.....

We have started counting down to the end of Kindergarten with an ABC countdown. 

Each day we will celebrate with a different letter and activity. 

Tuesday was A and we became Artists and created an art masterpiece!!

Today was B and we went outside to Blow Bubbles!!!

We are having a blast counting down to 1st grade :)

Farm Field Trip

We just got back from our field trip to the farm and the all-abilities playground! It was a blast and there are a lot of tired kindergarten kiddos. They may hit the hay a little bit earlier tonight! :) 

The farm was a great experience and we were able to see so many different things. We saw 250 chicks along with three geese in a round tub. The teacher taught us about animal skeletons and showed us a cow skeleton, an ostrich skeleton and a pig skeleton. We were able to feed pigs and lambs and pet piglets, a Sumatran chicken and a cow. Our trip the farm was wrapped up with a tour of the green house,metal and wood shop.

We left the farm and went to the All-Abilities Playground the play and had a great time!!!

Thank you to Marin's Grandma, Thatcher's mom and brother, Talulah's mom and Steve's mom for joining us on the field trip, it was great to have you all along!!!

More Flexible Seating Options...

Hello!

I hope spring break is treating everyone well. Mine has been great!! I was in California for a few days then came back and prepared the classroom yesterday with Mrs. Griffith for Super K! It looks great and we are very excited for Monday to come :)

I also spent some time over break writing up a new project for Donors Choose, the program that funded the bean bags and pillows we currently have in the classroom.
I am hoping this time to get funds for some stools and different seating options so I am writing to ask you to share the website with family and friends, anyone who would be willing to contribute to our classroom. Thank you to those of you that have already helped! The kiddos are doing great with the options available at this time but the more the better.

Happy Spring Break!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful 10 days off with your family! I will be excited to see you on Monday April 11th to begin our Super K classroom :) I am off to California to see my nephew Jack and go to Disneyland!

Love Mrs. Baied
