A Final Peek At Our Week: May 20-24



After reading "If You Find a Rock" by Peggy Christian, we listed  the many types of rocks we might find on a nature hike. 

Grant found a splashing rock
Caroline found a hiding rock
Charlie saw a large hiding rock
Addie's worry rocks
Elizabeth's skipping rock
So many rocks!
Inside we painted with rocks
Grant was playing with sifting rocks
Sylvia's son, Trent, helped teach our Sign Language class on Tuesday
Trent communicates mainly through sign language. The Ponies did a great job talking to him!
On Thursday, Sylvia brought a violin to Music Class
Dagny's grandparents got to visit with the Pony friends

Be sure to check your child's bag on Tuesday and Wednesday for a little something special. This year went by incredibly fast. We had so much fun with each and every Pony. While we'll still get to see some of them this summer and next school year, others will be off to other schools for Kindergarten. We will sure miss those who won't be back. We always love having visitors; please keep in touch! Families, thank you for all of the love and support you've given to your children and to us this year. Country Day families are the best! Good luck to all of our Ponies. Thanks for the wonderful year (:    ~Nancy and Laura~

Worm Week


The Ponies have been spending their outside time searching for worms and other worm-like creatures

Caitie's collection
Lucia was half scared, half excited to pick up this one
Charlie watched one move up his arm
Jonah and friends helped select worms to feed to the bearded dragon
Birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals can all be predators to a worm. One such predator lives in our classroom.
