Happy Thanksgiving
We wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving Day!
The children did another amazing job with the Thanksgiving Concert singing for their first and second grade friends.
After the concert, we enjoyed a Thanksgiving feast today thanks to all of your donations. We whipped up some butter and everyone took a turn shaking the butter with the chant "B-U-T-T-E-R: Butter!" We had delicious corn muffins topped with our homemade butter, apple slices and we carved our turkey! Surprise! It was filled with popcorn! We had a great day!
Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Apple Picking Field Trip
On Friday, September 25th, the Kindergarten went on an apple picking field trip.
We went to Ingaldsby Farm in Boxford.
First we went on a hayride through the farm.
We were able to enjoy looking at the different crops of fruits and vegetables that the farm grows.
We saw a corn field, a pumpkin patch, and saw where the eggplants, beets, radishes, chili's and peppers grow. The farmer shared a lot of interesting facts on the hayride about different types of pumpkins, apples, and various root vegetables.
After a short stop at the pasture to see the cows, we went off to apple picking!
We each got to pick 5 delicious apples!
enjoy delicious apple cider donuts and apple cider!
It was a great trip and we all had a lot of fun!

Have You Filled a Bucket Today?
Click here if you are interested in buying this book! |
In class we will be emphasizing be a "Bucket Filler" which is someone that fills someone's bucket with feelings of happiness by saying and doing nice things to others. Some of the chararcteristics of a "Bucket Filler" are sharing, listening, helping, using kind words, etc. At the same time of filling someone else's bucket, you are filling your own bucket as well!
Click here to watch the video for "Fill Your Bucket" |
Each day, we will be filling our classroom bucket with "warm & fuzzies". We have already began filling our bucket! The children are doing an amazing job showing kindness to each other.
