The Kindergarten class will begin their community service project this week. We will be collecting needed items for the Orange County SPCA. Our collection will run from April 15th until May 2nd. Students will be making fliers during computer class to share information around the school. The class will make a trip out to the shelter the first part of May to visit the animals and give their donations. Items can be sent in any time over the next few weeks and I will store them safely in the classroom. We will NOT be collecting dry food items as the shelter has a contract with Science Diet to maintain a consistent diet for the animals. The shelter has asked for the following items:
To go along with learning about the seasons and celebrate Spring, the Kindergarteners are going to do some online activities associated with Spring.
The students continue to learn about the seasons. They started school at the end of summer which quickly moved into autumn. Today we are experiencing snow at the end of winter and in a couple of days it will be Spring. We'll do a Pixie activity called Trees through the Seasons where they will demonstrate their knowledge of the seasons by coloring and adding details to a landscape scene.

The students are learning about Polar Animals. Today we are going to do an activity on Antarctic animals. Some South Pole animals include penguins, seals, whales, etc. Students will go use kerpoof.com to create an Antarctic scene. We will review how to add images to the scene, size them, delete them by dragging them off, rotating them, and adding text. This activity provides "question marks" that when clicked, tells you some interesting facts about the animal.
The students are learning about Polar Animals. Today we are going to do an activity on Arctic animals. Some North Pole animals include polar bears, reindeer, arctic foxes, seals, snowy owls, walruses, etc. Students will go use kerpoof.com to create an Arctic scene. We reviewed how to add images to the scene, size them, delete them by dragging them off, rotating them, and adding text. They really like the fun features like making the sun set by dragging it below the horizon and seeing the images get smaller as you drag them further away. This activity also had "question marks". When you click on them, it tells you some interesting facts about the animal.
