Kilgore's Kindergarten Communicator

Have you notices that I have missed blogging a few days? It has been all kinds of CrAzY in the world of Kilgore!! Good news is that there are 2 more days of school left! Today...

Have you pre-ordered your Kindergarten Circus DVD yet? Don't wait! Here is a sneak peek!

Today Jaya popped our #8 balloon and we are...

Karol popped the balloon and told us that we get to visit a 1st Grade classroom! Mrs. Britton let us come and play a sight word game with them and we got to ask some questions. We feel a lot better about 1st Grade...they have Fun Friday Centers like we do!

Today we began practice for the Kindergarten Circus! I live this time of year!

Kenneth popped the balloon to tell us that we get...

 ...and the Circus Acts are...

 We begin practice on Monday!

I have costumes for everyone. However, if you have something special that you would like your child to wear or something to add to the costume, please let me know! Jack and his parents donated this:


How cool is THIS?! Since Jack chose to be a clown this year, he gets the privilege of making his grand entrance from this tent! THANKS!

Today is a special Friday. EVERYONE gets ice cream at lunch!!

We also get to redeem yesterday's prize. Radio Disney during Friday centers!!

Today is day 16! Michaela popped our balloon to discover that we get to listen to the music of our choice during work time! The only problem was, we didn't have much work time today! I will let them redeem this one tomorrow during our fun Friday centers.

Note to parents: There is no need to send ice cream money tomorrow. I have a feeling that balloon number 15 will take care of that! ;) Shhhhh!

I just LoVe a good themed snack!

Yesterday was sTiCkY and today is sTiNkY! Seth popped the #17 balloon and we got to go shoeless all day in our classroom! Wednesday is a long day in the room and we have work centers. It was a perfect day to sock hop!

I was SOOO busy yesterday with the TEMI assessments, that I forgot to post our 18th day until the end of school event! Ximena popped the balloon and tt was sTiCkY day!

Today, Zachary popped balloon number 19! We got to have a picnic lunch outside! Since I was on lunchroom duty, Mrs. Hill's class got to join us!

When I walked into the classroom this morning and set my bag down, my heart jumped into my throat when I heard this strange whooshing noise above my head! Casey is no longer is chrysalis! We have a butterfly!

When I left for morning assembly, Avery looked like this...


15 minutes later when we came back, Avery was letting its wings dry!


This afternoon, we will have a butterfly release party!

We started counting down the final days of Kindergarten on Friday! I put 20 special activities inside of 20 balloons and we get to pop one every morning to find out what the day's surprise is!

Since Jack is number 20, he got the honor of popping the balloon for Friday!


We got to watch the Kindergarten Circus from 2 years ago (Gus' class!) and pick our favorite acts. To make the even more special, we had popcorn! FUN!

Classroom Notes
We started something new today! We are counting down the last 20 days of school with daily special activities. I need a little help from you guys! There are a few days where I need items like bubbles and popsicles and ice cream. If you would like to help, a small Wal-Mart giftcard would be great to help out!
