Two Hoots and A Holler

Hoot #1

Sorry that this is so late. Life has been a little crazy for us. Let's backtrack to February to see all that was going on!  
 This year instead of a party, we decided to do Valentine's Day Centers. The kids had a blast!

London is trying to see how many hearts using a craft stick and a Dixie cup.

 Students used geoboards to create hearts and Cupid's Arrows.

Kevin is trying to see how many conversation hearts he can stack and balance on his craft stick.

D'Javan is using a shake straw to blow his arrow (Q-tip) in to the bowl in front of him.

Hoot #2

This year in honor of Black History Month, we were invited to walk through a living wax museum of famous black Americans.  The museum was hosted by a third grade class.  I was so impressed at how well each person knew their character, and how clearly they spoke.  The kindergartners got to walk around and look.  When they wanted to hear more about that person, they waved.  At the wave of their hand, the "wax statue" came to life and told interesting facts about themselves.  I was VERY impressed at how well these 3rd graders did, and I was also very pleased at how well my kinders paid attention to them and listened.  It was so exciting to see some of my former students participate in this and to see how much they have grown since kindergarten!  

This Week's Holler...
This holler goes out to Shauna Gardner! She was able to organize, and make Math Night not only happen, but made it a HUGE success!! Parents came from all grades to see how their student learns math, and they got to take home resources and supplies to use at home! 
It was a great night to be a Gator!
