Johnny Appleseed Discovery Day

Today we had a great time learning about Johnny Appleseed and doing some scientific explorations using apples. We measured how tall we are in apples, used apples to create patterns, and even learned about the many varieties of apples. I think our favorite part about being scientists was discovering how we can use all five of our senses to make observations about apples. We compared the look, touch, taste, smell, and sound of yellow, green, and red apples! We loved biting into each type to discover what made each a different experience. We even voted on which apples were our favorite by placing colored apples in our Kindergarten "apple orchard" in our hallway!

Field Day: Aloha Games

Not even a little rain could keep this awesome group of kinders from having a FABULOUS Field Day! A big thank you to Coach Hamlet for organizing  this fun-filled day for PHES!

Spring has Sprung!

During Miss Hatcher's Math Station time the kids had fun sorting some spring addition and subtraction problems. We also practiced addition by rolling dice and adding the numbers together. They just love the hands on math :)

Springfield Nature Center

Check out the kids exploring the Springfield Nature Center on our field trip. It was so fun to see our little scientist's in action!

100th Day!

We Are 100 Days Smarter!!!

The kiddos celebrated the 100th day of school by rotating through different stations in the Kindergarten classrooms. Each room had a different activity. We even had a special visitor....

Cup Stacking: The kids worked together and used 100 cups to build a tower.

ZERO THE HERO!!!

100 Lollipop Licks: What a "sweet" way to count to 100!

Shaving Cream Sight Words!

"Snow" Much Fun!

There is no better way to practice learning our sight words than writing them in the snow (shaving cream)! The kiddos had a blast with this activity!

Marshmallow Madness

Shape Practice with Marshmallows!

Today in Miss Hatcher's class we practiced making shapes using marshmallows. The kids made squares, rectangles, triangles, and hexagons. We talked about how many sides each shape had and then we built them!
