Fun Filled Week in KA

International Week Continued

We were thoroughly spoiled again by our parents this week. We traveled to the countries of Brazil, Hungary and China for the last part of International Week. Mrs. Noguchi taught us about the rainforest in Brazil and read us the Legend of the Victoria Regia (water lily). She also shared a delicious Brazilian snack called pao de queijo.

The Recks further spoiled us with beautiful photographs and stories about Hungary and a delicious treat called kiflis. We couldn't decide whether we liked the nut or jam kiflis better!

The Olivas also brought in a special packet for good luck and good fortune for The Year of the Snake.

Inspiration

We were the first Kindergarten class to lead Inspiration this year, and we did an absolutely amazing job. Mrs. Peterson and Mrs. Magner were so proud of how well we handled our jobs. Mrs. Hall was impressed with how poised we were.

We led the whole Lower School in a round of the Spanish song Tu Ti Ta and received a huge round of applause.

100th Day

Zero the Hero came to help us celebrate the 100th day of school. She read us a story called The 100th Day of School and led us on a surprise trip to the gym where we squealed with delight as 100 balloons fell from the ceiling. Before leaving our celebration, Zero gave us 100 Days Smarter crowns and a yummy cake. We shared our collections of one hundred items, and these included jellybeans, M&Ms, stickers, dots, dimes, googly eyes, cupcake liners, matches, beads, Lego people, cards and Skittles!

Thank you to all of our parents for sending in beautiful decorations, delicious food and drinks and Valentine's cards for all of us!

International Week!

 

We began our celebration of International Week by reading a wonderful book about the Chinese New Year called Dragon Dance. Mrs. Oliva sent in a special lantern craft for us to make with beautiful stamps and gold stamp pads. She even found a snake stamp for the Year of the Snake, which was met with great excitement! Each lantern was lit by its own electric candle, and together all our lanterns surrounded us with a soft glow during quiet time!

We read one of our favorite books by Ezra Keats called A Snowy Day. We recreated a snow bank on paper and recreated footprints by "walking" across the snow with teeny-tiny Barbie shoes just like the character Peter did in the book.

To celebrate the amazing job that KA has been doing we enjoyed a Pancake Party! We loved this so much and declared it "the best day ever!"

In further celebration of International Week, Mrs. Ricard visited and shared stories about France. After listening to The Cows Are Going to Paris, The Happy Lion and Crepes by Suzette, Mrs. Ricard spoiled us with mini beignets and mini croissants de chocolat. She also helped us construct our own versions of the Eiffel Tower. We can't wait to share them with you!

We are looking so forward to our continued celebration of International Week. Thank you parents for all you do for our class!
