Star of the Week

Here are some previous stars of the week. I apologize for the delay getting them on!

Alyssa brought in her special bunny and shared goldfish with us!

Wynter brought in her special backpack and her favorite American girl Doll. She loves cheese balls!

Patrick was our Star of the Week that most enjoys Super heroes. He showed us how to draw Batman.

Kevin showed us his trophy that he won in basketball!

Shaelin loves horses and brought in her special pony to show us. Her family also shared a Chick-fil-a feast with us!

Alana was an awesome star of the week! She taught us some Spanish when her special Grandma Doll sang traditional nursery rhymes.

Yee-Haw!!

In Social Studies, we have been studying about Texas, its historical figures and traditions. The culmination of it was our Go Texan Day activities. Although only first graders participated in the parade, we had fun watching them and doing cowboy/cowgirl activities in our rotations. Of course, dressing up was a lot of fun! A big thank you to Mrs. Wendy Nieto and Mrs. Kaori Kato Edwards for heading up the "Giddy-up relay race" in our room and also to Mikey's, Mia's, and Isabelle's family that contributed with the stick horses.




Book Fair

It is Book Fair time again! The students were able to browse/shop today at their designated library time and also will get a chance to shop again on Friday during their technology time. They will not check-out books today, so I asked them to keep books in their backpacks until next week. Thank you for your generous gift certificates for the Book Fair -I will have fun stocking up on more books for our classroom library, yay!

Go Texan Day


Howdy Parents,
Go western day is right around the corner, Friday, February 22th, and the kindergarten cowpokes are roundin’ up for a good ol’ time!
Dress your cowboy or cowgirl in their best western wear if you so wish. Kindergarten students will be having a western round up (crafts and activities) from 11:00-12:20 on February 22th .Kindergarten will be rotating through the classrooms, much like the Holiday rotation we had. It is not a party, just a fun day for the kids.
Much Obliged,
Mrs. Cox
