Local Charity

The Kinders have been busy!

Today they decorated many brown paper bags and filled them with a gift card and a chocolate bar or granola bar. These little bags will go to a local charity at Christmastime.

The morning class decorated and filled about 60 bags while the afternoon class decorated and filled about 80 bags. That's 140 bags combined - wow!

To go along with the decorated bags, the Kinders also donated the following items:

- 2 large boxes of clothing (toques, mitts, socks, gloves)

- 1 extra large box of toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, etc.)

Thank you, Kinders (and families), for the many generous donations. You will definitely make somebody's Christmas more cheerful because of your kindness.

Farm Animal Trivia

We just finished our farm unit! The Kinders did an inquiry farm animal project where they did the following:

1. They chose an animal (horse, pig, cow or sheep).

2. They said everything they knew about that animal before learning about it. 

3. Then they chose 1 thing they didn't know about this animal or a question they want to know the answer to. 

4. Then some parent volunteers and myself found the answers in books, marked the page number, and had that student figure out the answer by looking at a picture or watching a video. 

Then, the students made flaps to hide their answers and decorated their animal. These were posted in the hallway so other kids and parents could learn about farm animals.

Take a look at some of the trivia. See if you know the answer to the questions!
