D.A.R.E.

On Friday, Officer MacParland, a Middleton Police Officer and the D.A.R.E. Officer, came to class to talk about safety.
Officer MacParland began with discussing safety signs that we see everyday on our streets. 
He then talked to the children about how to be safe on the streets.
Next, he talked to the children about personal safety and stranger danger.  
Officer MacParland ended our time together with sharing information about his uniform and all of his safety gear.  Most importantly, Officer MacParland expressed to the children how much all police officers are friends to the children!

Thank you, Officer MacParland,for taking the time to teach the children about safety!  We learned so much!

Weather Scavenger Hunt

Last Friday, the kindergarten went on a Weather Scavenger Hunt with our wonderful first grade buddies in Miss Klipfel's class.  We spent time in our beautiful courtyard.

The first grade children were given
 a iPad and the kindergarten students got the paper and a clipboard.

  Together they followed the checklist hunting for the clues.  



The pictures are just a few of the amazing pictures the students took with the iPads.


Can you find something that crawls on four legs?  Do you see the turtle?


The students had a super fun time hunting and using all of their investigative skills to find everything!
Fun time had by all!

The Surprise!

Teacher Appreciation Week!
Thank you to the MPTO for the awesome door decoration!  It was an awesome surprise to come to school with such a heartfelt and loving decoration as I entered my classroom.  
Thank you to all of the parents and my students who worked so hard on this beautiful and creative door decoration! 
I have been so blessed to teach Kindergarten for 19 years in the same classroom!  It is with all of the support and love for the community, both Middleton and Fuller Meadow, that has made all of my years teaching so amazing!
Thank you so much!
