Green Eggs and Ham






We made Green Eggs and Ham to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday on February 2nd. Dr. Seuss books are great at helping kids learn rhyming words. They also increase students confidence in reading because they are able to read many rhyming words! We all wore pajamas and enjoyed making green eggs and ham. Each student cracked an egg and then helped throughout the cooking process. Most students loved the eggs and wanted seconds even though they were green! After eating students enjoyed listening to Dr. Seuss books.

Community Helpers




Kindergarten classes enjoyed visits from
community workers during our unit on Community Helpers. A dental hygenist discussed the importance of good dental hygiene and gave each student a new toothbrush. A dairy farmer taught us how to milk a real cow! Mrs. Austin (Ethan's mom) showed students tools she uses at her job. Three firefighters brought their firetruck to the Primary and showed Kindergarten tools they use to keep the community safe.
