A Visit from the Raptor Center

Last week, we were very fortunate enough to have a visit from Auburn University's Raptor Center.

Throughout last week, we learned all about nocturnal animals.

To see all of these amazing birds up close was SO exciting to the children!

They loved it!!

 The Bald Eagle was the class favorite!!!



Ten Apples Up on Top!

Today, we had the best time reading and interacting with the Dr. Seuss book, Ten Apples Up On Top!

 

We made the story come to life and we learned about counting and adding apples using dice!

Zeph has 5 apples up on top!



"Eyes" on Reading!

Miss Donahoo's class has their "eyes" on reading this week!



Community Helpers!

Last Friday, our class, along with Ms. Mitchell's class, had a special visitor from Gulf Power come and teach us all about electricity and how to be safe around electricity!

We were all "geared" up with our hard hats on!



The Button Box

This week, we read The Button Box by Margarette S. Reid



An imaginative little boy explores the many pleasures that can be found in - and made from - his grandmother's button box. He sorts the buttons by color, shape, material, and the amount of holes.

 

We then sorted our very OWN Button Box!

Check it out!

 



Welcome to a NEW Kindergarten year!

Ms. Donahoo is so EXCITED to begin our journey together!
